Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child turning to talk does not learn by being corrected; if
corrected too much, he will stop talking. He noticed a thousand times a day the difference between the language
he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his
language like other people's. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things, they learn to do them
without being taught - to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bike - compare their own performances with those of
more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school, we never give a child a chance to find
out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would
never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes
dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it,
"what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or
not."
If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let
him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to
help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end all the nonsense of
grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out and let the children learn what all educated persons must
someday learn how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school
teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest
of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers
may say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world,
won't they?" Don't worry. If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Question 17: According to the author, the best way for children to learn things is _____.
A. by comparing with what other people do
B. by making mistakes and having them corrected
C. by listening to explanations from skilled people
D. by asking a great many questions

A. They give children correct answers.
B. They point out children's mistakes to them.
C. They allow children to mark their own work.
D. They encourage children to copy from one another.
Question 19: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _____.
A. not really important skills
B. more important than other skills
C. basically different from learning adult skills
D. basically the same as learning other skills
Question 20: Exams, grades, and marks should be abolished because children's progress should only be

A lot of advice is available for college leavers heading for their first job. In this article, we consider the
move to a second job. We are not concerned with those looking for a second temporary position while hunting
for a permanent job. Nor are we concerned with those leaving an unsatisfactory job within the first few weeks.
Instead, we will be dealing with those of you taking a real step on the career ladder, choosing a job to fit in with
your ambitions now that you have learnt your way around, acquired some skills and have some idea of where
you want to go.
What sort of job should you look for? Much depends on your long-term aim. You need to ask yourself
whether you want to specialize in a particular field, work your way up to higher levels of responsibility or out of
your current employment into a broader field.
Whatever you decide, you should choose your second job very carefully. You should be aiming to stay
in it for two or three years. This job should be studied very carefully when you send your letter of application
for your next job. It should show evidence of serious career planning. Most importantly, it should extend you,
develop you and give you increasing responsibility. Incidentally, if you are interested in traveling, now is the
time to pack up and go. You can do temporary work for a while when you return, pick up where you left off and
get the second job then. Future potential employers will be relieved to see that you have got it out of your
system, and are not likely to go off again.
Juliette Davidson spent her first year after leaving St. Aldate's College working for three solicitors. It
was the perfect first job in that "OK... they were very supportive people. I was gently introduced to the work,
learnt my way around an office and improved my word processing skills. However, there was no scope for
advancement. One day, I gave my notice, bought an air ticket and traveled for a year.”
Juliette now works as a Personal Assistant to Brenda Cleverdon, the Chief Executive of business in the
Community. "In two and a half years I have become more able and my job has really grown,” she says. "Right
from the beginning, my boss was very keen to develop me. My job title is the same as it was when I started but
the duties have changed. From mainly typing and telephone work, I have progressed to doing most of the
correspondence and budgets. I also have to deal with a variety of queries, coming from chairmen of large
companies to people wanting to know how to start their own business. Brenda involves me in all her work but
also gives me specific projects to do and events to organize."
