Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answersheet indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as
well Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to cover the
material required by most college coursed Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time

If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would
be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the
aristocracy, was French In fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education.
However, that is not the case nowadays English has replaced French as the international language of communication Today, there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication Britain’s colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due to America’s rise to the position of major world power This helped spread popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language with it
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language specialists seem to be divided over this issue There are those who claim that it is important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world have in common According to
Trang 7others, English is associated with a particular culture and therefore promotes that culture at the expense of others Linguists have suggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as
a solution to international communication problems but without success So English will continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely-spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world’s international language instead of English
