Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to answer the following questions.
A (25) _________teacher can reach thousands of students in an online course, opening up a world of
knowledge to anyone with an internet connection. This limitless reach also offers substantial benefits for school
districts that need to save money, by reducing the number of teachers. (26) , in high schools
and colleges, there is mounting evidence that the growth of online education is hurting a critical group. The less
proficient students (27) __________are precisely those most in need of skilled classroom teachers. Online courses
can be broken down into several categories, and some are more effective than others.
In "blended” courses, for example, students don’t do their work only online: They also spend time in a
classroom with a flesh-and-blood teacher. Research suggests that students - at nearly all levels of achievement - do
just as well in these blended classes as they do in traditional classrooms. In this model, online resources
supplement traditional instruction but don’t replace it. In the fully online model, on the other hand, a student may
never be in the same room with an instructor. This category is the main problem. It is where less proficient
students tend to (28) __________trouble. After all, taking a class without a teacher requires high levels of self-
motivation, self-regulation and organization. Yet, in high schools across the country, students who are struggling
in (29) __________classrooms are increasingly steered into online courses.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to answer the following questions.
In most families, conflict is more likely to be about clothing, music, and leisure time than about more
serious matters such as religion and core values. Family conflict is rarely about such major issues as adolescents'
drug use and delinquency. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that in about 5 million American families (roughly
20 percent), parents and adolescents engage in intense, prolonged, unhealthy conflict. In its most serious form, this
highly stressful environment is associated with a number of negative outcomes, including juvenile delinquency,
moving away from home, increased school dropout rates, unplanned pregnancy, membership in religious cults,
and drug abuse (Steinberg & Morris, 2001).
Many of the changes that define adolescence can lead to conflict in parent- adolescent relationships.
Adolescents gain an increased capacity for logical reasoning, which leads them to demand reasons for things they
previously accepted without question, and the chance to argue the other side (Maccoby, 1984). Their growing
critical-thinking skills make them less likely to conform to parents' wishes the way they did in childhood. Their
increasing cognitive sophistication and sense of idealism may compel them to point out logical flaws and
inconsistencies in parents' positions and actions. Adolescents no longer accept their parents as unquestioned
authorities. They recognize that other opinions also have merit, and they are learning how to form and state their
own opinions. Adolescents also tend toward ego- centrism, and may, as a result, be ultra-sensitive to a parent's
casual remark. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence may make it difficult for parents to rely on their
children's preadolescent behavior to predict future behavior. For example, adolescent children who were compliant
in the past may become less willing to cooperate without what they feel is a satisfactory explanation.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to answer the following questions.
Volunteering offers many of the same social benefits, with the added bonus of helping others and developing
useful skills to put on your CV. Plus, students are in a unique position to help, suggests Tom Fox. "They can take
their enthusiasm and excitement for opportunities and share their passions, subject knowledge and experience with
people." The idea of giving up time for nothing might seem impractical at first, especially once the pressures of
study and coursework or exams begin to mount up. However, Michelle Wright, CEO of charity support organization
Cause4, suggests seeing volunteering as a two-way street. "I think it is fine for undergraduates to approach
volunteering as a symbiotic relationship where doing good is just one part of the motivation for reaching personal
and professional goals."
Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and
Development (CIPD), says: "Volunteering can be a valuable way of gaining that experience, as well as building
confidence, broadening your horizons, becoming a better team player and developing those all- important
'employability skills' such as communication and decision making." Amanda Haig, graduate HR manager, agrees
that volunteering can help your employment prospects. "Volunteering can demonstrate positive personality traits and
skill sets, such as proactivity, and teamwork," she says.
A positive side-effect of volunteering is improving your time at university by getting involved in the local
community. Leaving the student bubble can make your time as an undergraduate much more varied. At Bath Spa
University, more than 1,000 students volunteered over the past year, doing everything from working on local
environmental projects to helping in schools or assisting the elderly. “Quite often there can be a divide between
students and permanent residents," says students' union president Amy Dawson, "but if students invest a little time
now, they will be giving something back to the local community and will reap the benefits in the future." “You
might also find that volunteering helps your studies if you choose the right program. At Lancaster, volunteering is
linked into academic modules in some cases", explains Fox. "This has multiple wins. Students get to apply their
learning in the classroom and share their interests with children in local schools or community organizations, while
schools gain skilled students with a passion for a subject that enthuses their pupils."
