Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary
education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or government-
operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed
outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education
system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of
presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and
graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system
offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an
accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in
your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a
thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the
American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is
no surprise that the American education system and the American school system host more international students
than any other country in the world!

Question 39. What is the writer's advice?

B. International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high
school.
C. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student can make the right

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of
communication. School teachers think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly at
school. They fear that once students get used to it, they will find it hard to switch back to using correct
grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?

It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made
sentences, phrases and words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular, people invented
more and more words. Today, it is like a real language with its own grammar and vocabulary. The growth
of text-messaging has raised an important question: As students become fluent in text messaging, do their
writing skills suffer?

People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills. Some
say that students are losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that text-messaging is
having a good effect on the language students use in then schoolwork. It shows that they are creative and
good at expressing themselves. And if students can keep the two systems separate - one for text
messaging and one for school - this will help students appreciate reading and writing more.

Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways to
use technology as a positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type their assignments
in a cell phone message and send them to their teachers, but they must type correctly. In this way,
students are using the technology that they are familiar with to communicate in a form of language
suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text-messaging is fine for social communication, but
correct grammar and spelling are necessary for communication in school.
