Many people now thing that teachers give students too much home-work They say that it
is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students The result
is that students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school

It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children Parents are often better at teaching their own children!

sentences Write A, B, C or D on your answer sheet (1,0 point)
The invention of electric telegraph gave birth to the communication industry Although Samuel Morse succeeded in making the invention useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that the first telegraph line of consequence was constructed
By 1860 more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people east of the Rockies The following year, San Francisco was added to the network
The national telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West and contributed to the rapid expansion of the railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and routes Furthermore, the extension of the
telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam -driven rotary printing press by Richard M Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism When
the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on
hard-operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of information a
newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting The
establishment of the Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the advent of a new era in journalism
1 It can be inferred from the passage that
A Morse’s invention did not immediately achieve its full potential
B the extension of the telegraph was more important than its invention
C journalists have the Associated Press to thank for the birth of the communication industry
Trang 12D Samuel Morse did not make a significant contribution to the communication industry.

A book on trains B U.S history book C computer magazine D science textbook
