    TEACHING IN INDIA
    by Elise Cooper
    ‘Elise in India’. That was the name of my blog last year when I took a year out between
    school and university. I was lucky enough to get a teaching job abroad through an international
    organization. I was going to work in a school attached to a children’s home in north-west India.
    There were eight of us on the week-long introduction course in the capital, Delhi. As well as advice
    and ideas for teaching we were given information about health and local customs, and learned a few
    essential phrases in the local language.

    Another course member, Lucy, was coming to the same school as me and we were both
    nervous when we set off on the 15-hour bus ride to the children's home. I had worked as a classroom
    assistant before, but here I wouldn't be much older than some of my pupils. How would I manage?
    My worries disappeared once we reached the home. Our rooms were on the top floor above the girls'
    bedrooms and from the window we looked out across flat fields full of fruit trees and could just see
    the snow-covered mountain tops in the distance.
    There were 90 children in the home, aged between five and 20. In addition there were a small
    number of pupils who came in each day from the area around. Although they were a little shy to
    start with, they were so keen to ask us questions that we quickly became friends.
    Lucy and I taught four lessons a day, mainly spelling, reading and general knowledge. We
    had a textbook but since it wasn't very exciting, we tried to make the lessons more interesting with
    activities and games. This wasn't always easy: there was a mixture of ages in each class because
    pupils had begun their education at different times. Like schoolchildren everywhere, they didn't
    always behave perfectly in class. However, they used to send us notes apologizing afterwards, or
    thanking us for an interesting lesson, so we didn't really mind.
    The best fun came after school, though. We spent many happy hours playing games or
    football or just chatting with the children. On Friday afternoons, Lucy and I were in charge of sport,
    which had just been introduced at the school. Trying to organize fifty children into cricket teams is
    something I'll never forget. Another of my memories is playing in goal for a boys' football game.
    Even though Lucy and a group of little girls joined in as extra goalkeepers, we still managed to let
    the other side score!
    I was terribly sad to leave. I felt I had learned as much as - if not more than - my pupils from
    the experience.
    Q29: What does “This” in paragraph 4 refer to?
    A. the lessons in the textbook B. the general knowledge
    C. the pupil’s education D. the way to make the lessons more attractive
    Q30: Elise and Lucy were responsible for teaching the following lessons except……………...........
    A. reading B. history C. spelling D. general knowledge
    Q31: Which adjective best describes the job of getting pupils’ attention to the general knowledge
    lessons?
    A. time - consuming B. effortless C. simple D. challenging
    Q32: According to the text, the pupils in each class that Elise taught were………………….
    A. all older than her B. all adolescents C. at the same age D. at different ages
    Q33: What can be inferred about Elise according to the text?
    A. She spent one year in India. B. She is not Indian.
    C. She is now working in Delhi. D. She can speak the local language well.
    Q34: According to Elise, what do Indian pupils and schoolchildren everywhere have in common?
    A. interests in games and activities B. background knowledge

    C. imperfect behavior in class D. shyness and nervousness
    Q35: Which of the following words would the author most probably use to describe her experience
    in India?
    A. nonsense B. informative C. useful D. problematic
    Q36: How did Elise apply for the teaching post in India?
    A. Through a local organization B. By posting her resume’ online
    C. By contacting directly with the school D. Through an international organization
