about per cent of the school population attend private schools, and these are financed from pupils' fees The general pattern of schooling in Britain is as follows All the children must start school at the age of five Many have previously attended play schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory Primary education, whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional, as well as intellectual and cultural Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat later, especially in the case of private education), children move to different schools These are called secondary schools, and nowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go to the same school Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classes according to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kept together in the same class In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable of subjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects and sports At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, though these not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied In fact, a pupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable After these exams, i.e at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave Only about 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the small private sector For those that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation, the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialist subjects Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start to work, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college Answers (T, F or NI) 01 School education in Britain is free of charge 02 School education is compulsory in Britain 03 School education in Britain is mainly free of charge 04 Most children in Britain attend private schools 05 Most children in Britain attend state schools 06 Comprehensive secondary schools are for pupils of different abilities 07 Pupils of the same abilities must attend comprehensive secondary schools 08 After four or five years at secondary schools, all pupils take one or two public examinations 09 In Britain state schools are better than those of the private sector 10 At the age of 16 or so, about 70 per cent pupils at state schools leave Question 8: Read the following passage then answer the questions below (8 points) A healthful lifestyle leads to a longer, happier, healthier life Staying healthy means eating wellbalanced diet, getting regular exercise, avoiding things that are bad for the body and mind Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases In spite of all the information available about diets, scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple There are several basic rules to follow Keep fat intake low Eat foods high in carbohydrates which are the starches in grains, legumes, (beans, and peas),vegetables, and some fruits Avoid too much sugar Limit salt Eat lots of fruits and vegetables which are high in vitamins A healthy lifestyle is an active lifestyle Lack of proper physical exercise can cause tiredness, irritability, and poor general health Physical fitness requires both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle riding , and swimming, and muscle- strengthening exercise, such as weight lifting Finally, good health is acquired saying no to bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and over-eating and by avoiding situations that are constantly stressful People can take their lives and happiness into their own hands Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step Questions: 01 What are the three kinds of food that you should avoiding having too much of ? ằ 02 Three problems that lack of physical exercise can cause are ằ 03 What kinds of exercise does physical fitness require? ằ 04 Three kinds of aerobic exercise mentioned in the passage are ằ 05 What exercise is good for muscle-strengthening? ằ 06 Grains, legumes, vegetables, and some fruits all contain ằ 07 Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of ằ 08 What is the main idea of the whole passage? ằ Question 9: Rewrite these sentences in such a way that they mean the same as the first, using the word in brackets at the end of each sentence DO NOT CHANGE THE FORM OF THE GIVEN WORD (10 points) Example: Opera doesn't interest David (INTERESTED) ằ David isnt interested in Opera 01 "Did you speak to the headmaster, Mom" I asked (SHE) ằ 02 There is no point in seeing that film (WORTH) ằ 03 It's good thing you brought your cheque book or we wouldn't have been able to buy the car (YOU) ằ 04 The flight to London was cheaper than I had thought it would be (AS) ằ 05 I expect you were tired after the match (BEEN) ằ 06 You ought to go to the dentist's immediately (BETTER) ằ 07 It snowed so they cancelled the flight (OWING) ằ 08 Maria and Philip are getting married, despite not having very much money (ALTHOUGH) ằ 09 The last time I ate Chinese food was years ago (YEARS) ằ 10 I am happy to go anywhere you like (MIND) ằ Question 10: Sentence building Complete the dialogue below (10 points) A: Hello / John!
