II. Read the text carefully then decide whether the following statements are
true (T) or false (F).
Many students listen to music while they are studying, and say that it helps them learn. Many
parents and teachers say that music is just distracting, and that students are better studying in
silence. Who is right?
In a study, some scientists asked three groups of students to listen to a piece of music by
Mozart or a relaxation tape for ten minutes, or just sit in silence for ten minutes. The students
then did a „spatial reasoning‟ test (a test about remembering shapes and imagining looking at
objects from different directions), and the ones who had listened to the Mozart did better in the
test.
Taking part in musical activities and learning to play an instrument can improve verbal
memory (the ability to remember words). The longer the training lasts, the better the
improvement in the memory. So, there‟s no excuse to give up the piano lessons!
1. Many students think it‟s helpful to listen to music when studying.
2. Teachers say music helps students to better concentrate.

Other teenagers saw Demetrius‟s tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains
all over New York.
Then, some teenagers started writing their tags with aerosol paint. Their tags were bigger and more
colourful. Aerosol paint graffiti became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s and appearedon
trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started painting
pictures.
In some countries, writing or painting on walls is a crime and street artists can have problems with
the police. In other countries, artists can draw and paint in certain places. For example, in Taiwan, there
are „graffiti zones‟ where artists can paint on walls. In São Paulo in Brazil, street artists can paint
pictures on walls and houses. Their pictures are colourful and beautiful. Some tourists visit São Paulo just
