UNIT 3: WAYS OF SOCIALISING A READING unit trang 22 Part Read the passage and circle the best answer A, B, C, or D [ Đọc khoanh tròn A, B, C, D] Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected; if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices 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 all the other things, they learn to 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 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 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 all educated persons must some days learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or 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 say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it According to the author, the best way for children to learn things is _ A by comparing with what other people B by making mistakes and having them corrected C by listening to explanations from skilled people D by asking a great many questions What does the author think teachers what they should not do? 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 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 Exams, grades, and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by A educated persons C teachers B the children themselves D parents The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are _ A too independent of others B too critical of themselves C unable to think for themselves D unable to use basic skills Answer A B D B C Dịch đọc: Hãy để trẻ học cách tự đánh giá việc làm chúng Một đứa trẻ học nói khơng học cách sửa lại cho đúng; sửa nhiều, ngừng nói Đứa bé ý ngàn lần ngày khác ngôn ngữ mà sử dụng ngơn ngữ người xung quanh sử dụng Từng chút chút một, đứa bé có thay đổi cấn thiết để làm cho ngơn ngữ giống với người khác Cũng vậy, đứa trẻ học làm thứ khác, chúng học làm việc mà khơng cần dạy - học nói, chạy, leo trèo, huýt sáo xe đạp – so với trình diễn khác riêng chúng với người khéo léo hơn, tạo nên thay đổi cần thiết Nhưng trường chưa cho đứa trẻ hội để tự đứa bé tìm lỗi sai, để chúng tự sửa lỗi Chúng ta làm tất cho đứa trẻ Chúng ta hành xử thể khơng ý đến lỗi sai lỗi khơng cho thấy, sửa nó khơng bị buộc phải làm Sớm thơi trở nên phụ thuộc vào giáo viên Hãy để đứa trẻ tự làm Để đứa trẻ tự phát ra, với giúp đỡ đứa trẻ khác muốn, điều có nghĩa gì, câu trả lời dành cho vấn đề đó, liệu có phải cách tốt để nói làm hay khơng Nếu vấn đề câu trả lời đúng, tốn học hay khoa học, cho đứa trẻ sách giải Hãy để đứa trẻ tự sửa sai kiểm tra Tại giáo viên nên lãng phí thời gian vào cơng việc thường nhật vậy?

The most polite action is usually to take a seat as quietly as possible and apologize later But if the teacher stops and waits for him to say something, he could apologize simply “I’m sorry I’m late”, ask permission to take his seat, and sit down Naturally, more than this – a reason for the tardiness – is needed, but this is not the time or the place for it because he has already caused one interruption and doesn’t need to make it any longer or worse than it already is After class, when he can speak to the teacher privately, Mario can apologize again, this time giving his excuse He might say, “Mr Blair, I’m sorry I was late for class this morning I overslept and missed the bus” When we give an excuse to the person to whom we are apologizing, we are admitting responsibility After the excuse there sometimes comes a promise to change, improve, or not to let the action happen again For example, after Mario gives the reason for his tardiness, he might add, “I won’t let it happen again” or “I promise I’ll be on time from now on.” Questions We can write rules that tell us exactly when we should apologize When we apologize, we offer a reason for it, and express regret It is enough to say “I’m sorry” when we apologize In Mario’s case, the most polite way is to take a seat and apologize later According to the passage, there usually comes a promise Hướng dẫn giải F T F T F Dịch đọc: Thật khó để viết quy tắc cho biết xác nên xin lỗi, khơng khó để học xin lỗi Nếu làm điều tổn thương đến người khác, bất lịch thô lỗ, nên xin lỗi Một lời xin lỗi cho thấy nhận phạm sai lầm, xin lỗi điều Đó cách thể hối tiếc điều Khi xin lỗi, thừa nhận sai lầm mình, thường đưa lý do, bày tỏ hối tiếc Cách đơn giản để xin lỗi nói "Tơi xin lỗi", thường chưa đủ Chúng ta đưa tình chung Mario đến lớp trễ bước vào lớp, làm gián đoạn giáo viên vào học Cậu phải làm gì? Hành động nhã nhặn thường ngồi yên lặng tốt xin lỗi sau Nhưng giáo viên dừng lại đợi cậu ta nói điều đó, cậu xin lỗi đơn giản "Xin lỗi em đến trễ", xin phép ngồi xuống ngồi xuống Đương nhiên, cần phải làm nhiều này, nêu lý cho chậm trễ điều cần thiết, khơng phải lúc nơi phù hợp cậu gây gián đoạn không cần làm cho chuyện trở nên dài hay tệ hại Sau học, cậu nói chuyện với giáo viên cách riêng tư, Mario xin lỗi lại, lần đưa lý do.Anh thể nói, "thầy Blair, em xin lỗi em trễ học sáng Em ngủ quên lỡ chuyến xe buýt " Khi đưa lời bào chữa cho người mà xin lỗi, thừa nhận trách nhiệm Sau lý đơi có lời hứa thay đổi, cải thiện, khơng để hành động xảy lần Ví dụ, sau Mario đưa lý cho chậm trễ mình, thêm, "Em khơng xảy lần nữa" "Em hứa kể từ em giờ."
