poor thinking Another company wanted to improve the speed with which it was able to introduce new products Competition was beating it to the market place, and consequently the company was losing market share Senior management sent out the message to reduce the time spent in getting products into customers’ hands, with the explanation that they couldn’t afford delays This was a relatively easy task, especially since the time spent testing the products was cut in half to accomplish the time reduction The result was new products were introduced in less time than those of the competition – but soon rejected by customers for poor quality Good intent; reckless implementation A third company I know is trying hard to help employees see that they have some control over their future The company instituted a programme with a title like ‘Creating our own future’ or something like that A good idea; get the people involved in the future of the company But instead of the employees becoming motivated to contribute, they saw it as a hollow exercise on the part of senior management who, in the past, had paid little attention to anything other than getting the job done so they could report great earnings Yes, the programme was a big ‘tick the box’ effort, but that was all it was in the minds of the people that it was designed for A final example is of a company that brought in one of these ‘Investing in People’ programmes to change the way the company was run Assessors were running around like crazy, helping managers examine how they managed They told managers how they could manage better And when the programme was over, the company was able to say they had done it – it had invested in its people and life was now good But the managers simply went back to business as usual After all, the assessors were gone, and they had targets to hit All these examples are representative of senior management who see the need to improve things in their organisation, but don’t see how to it For a start, a programme targeted at improving things is only as good as management’s ability to motivate their people And when the employees simply see the programme as a box-ticking exercise, then it’s hopeless The writer thinks that putting the concept of ‘Investing in People’ into practice A frequently results in confusion among the people it is supposed to help B involves more effort than some organisations are prepared to make C may create problems where previously there had not been any problems D is something that some organisations should not attempt to The writer’s main point in the second paragraph is that the perfor A may be very good even if management is poor B cannot be accurately measured by any box-ticking exercise C is related to their knowledge of the organisation as a whole D is not as unpredictable as some managers believe it to be hat point does the writer make about the first company he describes? A It was not really interested in measuring the effectiveness of employees B The targets that it set for staff were unrealistic C It failed to understand the real needs of its employees D The data that it collected did not measure what it was supposed to measure What point does the writer make about the second company he describes? A It made what should have been an easy task into a complicated one B It failed to foresee the consequences of an instruction C It misunderstood why a new approach was required D It refused to take into account the views of employees What does the writer say about the programme introduced by the third company he mentions? A Employees did not believe that it had been introduced for their benefit B Employees felt that it was in fact a way of making their jobs even C The reason given for introducing it was not the real reason why it was introduced D It was an inappropriate kind of programme for this particular organisation The writer says that the programme in his final example A was too demanding for managers to maintain long-term B was treated as a self-contained exercise by managers C involved some strange ideas on how managers could improve D caused managers to believe that their previous methods had been better Ex 4: The man who wants to teach the world Helena de Bertodano meets Salman Khan What Salman Khan, the founder of the non-profit online school Khan Academy has to say to the parent of an eleven-year-old in the USA is frankly terrifying: ‘If your child is not placed in the fast track for math in sixth grade, his chances of becoming a doctor or an engineer are probably zero And it’s decided when he’s eleven years old.’ This is exactly what happened to his cousin Nadia Usually a straight-A student, she had done poorly in a maths streaming test in sixth grade because she had failed to understand one concept This one test result, Khan says, might have harmed her academic destiny Nadia’s distraught mother turned to Khan for help Khan tutored her remotely over the phone and Nadia passed her retake with flying colours Soon, many more relations and friends wanted Khan’s help Unable to handle the volume of requests, at the suggestion of a friend, he started to record his lessons on video and post them on YouTube ‘At first I was dismissive,’ Khan says ‘I thought YouTube was for dogs on skateboards.’ Now Khan has more than 3,000 videos to his name, which are watched by nearly three million unique users a month, via YouTube and his own website His friendly, avuncular style, coupled with his knack for making difficult concepts seem simple, has helped children – and adults – all over the world move into the fast track He says his aim is to create ‘the world’s first free, world-class, virtual school where anyone can learn anything’ Some teachers are wary of him, thinking that he is trying to supplant them, but many more embrace his approach and have started ‘flipping’ the classroom, encouraging students to watch Khan’s videos at home and then tackling maths problems together in class You might expect a man with such influence to have state-of-the-art headquarters but Khan’s premises are unprepossessing Arriving at an unmarked red door, sandwiched between a clothes shop and a Chinese restaurant, I decide I have the wrong address – especially after ringing the bell for ten minutes with no response Eventually, I rouse someone on the telephone and the door is opened When his assistant shows me in, Khan appears at first to be slightly annoyed at this interruption Sitting on a leather swivel chair behind a heavy oak desk surrounded by pictures of his wife – a doctor – and their two young children, he continues to work for a few minutes But once he warms up, it becomes clear that the initial awkwardness is down to shyness, not rudeness ‘I’m not very good when people want to meet me,’ he says ‘I want to hide a little bit.’ Khan believes that the rigidity of the school system is outdated and deadens a child’s natural curiosity ‘Aged one to four, kids are excited by anything new, they want to figure it out, then all of a sudden, when they turn five, you start seeing fewer curious kids, by nine or ten you see very few with any curiosity, and by eighteen it’s very much the exception Curiosity is just stamped out of them I’m convinced it’s indoctrination, not a genetic thing Kids are herded together, the bell rings, you’re rewarded for passivity, you’re rewarded for compliance, that’s what keeps you moving through the system.’ Private school education makes little difference, he says Nor does he believe that student-teacher ratio is an issue ‘The idea that smaller classes will magically solve the problem of students being left behind is a fallacy ’ As he points out, if a teacher’s main job is lecturing to the students, it doesn’t really matter how many students are in the classroom What matters is the ‘student-tovaluable-human-time-with-teacher’ ratio What his videos do, Khan says, is free teachers up for more personal interaction He thinks bigger classes with more teachers would provide a more creative learning ground In his ideal classroom there would be 75-100 students of widely varying ages, with three or four teachers Some students would be working at computers; others would be learning economics through board games; others would be building robots or designing mobile apps; others would be working on art or creative writing His dream is nothing short of revolutionary ‘In 500 years I hope people look back and say, “Imagine, kids had to learn in classrooms that were like factories and it was unheard of for an eight-year-old to truly, deeply understand quantum physics Isn’t that strange? Why did Khan initially start to record videos? A It was easier to explain concepts in a video than on the phone B It enabled him to advertise his services worldwide C It was impossible for him to respond personally to each request for assistance D It was a more popular medium for young people to use One value of the videos is that they can A be used as an additional tool for teachers in class B be shown to students as a reward for hard work C act as a substitute for formal learning D help students prepare for a topic they will study When visiting Khan the writer is A annoyed by Khan’s lateness B surprised by Khan’s choice of location C embarrassed by the way Khan addresses him D impressed by the style of furnishings in Khan’s home The writer mentions different children’s ages to illustrate his idea that A it is quite natural for children to grow disillusioned with formal education B the older a child is, the less able they are to assimilate new information C a child’s growing lack of interest in learning is a result of experience at school D younger children need more motivation to remain interested in education The writer mentions different children’s ages to illustrate his idea that A it is quite natural for children to grow disillusioned with formal education B the older a child is, the less able they are to assimilate new information C a child’s growing lack of interest in learning is a result of experience at school D younger children need more motivation to remain interested in education In Khan’s opinion, the suggestion that a lower student-teacher ratio solves the problem of ineffective learning is A illogical B unproven C unworkable D counterproductive When Khan compares classrooms to factories in the final paragraph, he is implying that A classrooms produced what industry demanded B children were part of an inflexible system C teaching methodology produced student clones D small numbers of teachers dealt with large numbers of students Transformation In the end, I felt that I had been right to leave the club ➢ I had _ He talked about nothing except the weather in his first date ➢ His sole _ you may have a heart attack if you are obese ➢ You run _ I hadn't expected to win that scholarship ➢ It came as _ We couldn’t find the cat anywhere ➢ The cat _ It isn’t his fault for the accident ➢ He wasn’t to _ John said he almost never went out on a Wednesday night ➢ “Rarely He speaks German extremely well ➢ He has You're not ever allowed in this laboratory ➢ At _are you permitted _ 10 Have you ever played a computer game before?
