1. Studyingfrom home.

2. Personal development is important.

3. Modern tools for studying.

4. Findingthe right activity for you.

5. Studyingand Iivingat school.

6. Specialized schools.

7. Assessingacademicprogress.

8. High-tech school.

A. In the earliest days of computers the only computer education was about computers. We and computers have come a long way since those days. Now computers have invaded into every aspect of modem life. Education is no exception. Students can use word processors for writing, spreadsheets for mathematics and science and databases for organizing information. Lately, the Internet has become a recognized way of getting information.

B. There are many advantages to distance learning. For homeschoolers it’s a great way to safely get a head start on college before completing high school. In addition, many students don’t have the ability to leave home for maybe family or work obligations. Another huge advantage is the cost savings. Through distance learning, you avoid room and board fees that will have to be paid by a traditional student.

C. In Great Britain many children go to boarding schools. A good boarding school can be an excellent placement for an orphaned child because everyone is treated equally and fairly there. Many parents with non-traditional careers or those undergoing difficult transitions like divorce find boarding schools excellent alternatives. Boarding school can help children grow in independence, and friendship formed in boarding school often lasts a lifetime.

D. Considered by many to be a diamond in the rough of the Parkside area, the school boasts a curriculum that encourages technological literacy. The 170 local 9th grade students don’t carry any books or pencils. The school supplies every student with their own laptop. They create multimedia presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint, receive assignments via e-mail and conduct research online. So far, the unique program has had positive results.

Е. Chorister’s schools аге educational establishments which have a special emphasis on religious choir singing. These schools are usually attached to a cathedral, church or chapel, where the school choir sings. Choir schools do not exclusively educate choristers: about 15000 pupils are taught at chorister schools in the UK but only around 1000 of those are choristers. Tony Blair, for example, attended The Chorister School but was not himself a chorister.

F. For the majority of college and university students, involvement in extracurricular activities plays an essential role in the collegiate experience. Students become involved in extracurricular activities not only for entertainment, social and enjoyment purposes but most importantly to gain and improve skills. A wide and diversified range of extracurricular activities exists on U. S. campuses, meeting a variety of student interests.

G. The test is an important benchmark in ensuring that students will be successful in meeting the challenges they will face either in college or the workplace. If they are not able to meet the standards of the exam, how can we expect them to be successful in life? Examinations can be traumatic for both students and their teachers. But just because nobody really enjoys them, we should not disregard them as a necessary part of the education process.

Unleashing the power of creativity

I have always been an optimist and I suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place. And the life did not disappoint me — many times it proved me right.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in the seventh grade, I was hooked. It was a clunky old Teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today. But it changed my life.

When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of ’a computer on every desk and in every home’, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators and cost as much as a new modern Japanese car. But we believed that personal computers would change the world. And they have.

And now, after 30 years, I am still as inspired by computers as I was back in the seventh grade.

13. 3aκ. Ns 167

I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness — to help us solve problems that even the smartest people could not solve on their own.

Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a Windowinto All of the world’s knowledge. And the Onlythingtheseyoungsters should do is to make the right choice, which is not always an easy choice. Computers are helping us to build communities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they live — next door or on the other side of the world.

Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love doing. He calls it ’tap-dancing to work’. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me ’tap-dance to work’ is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or gestures, or one that can store a lifetime’s worth of photos or home videos and they say, ’I didn’t know you could do that with a PC!’

But for all the cool things that a person can do with a PC, there are lots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.

I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife Melinda and I have committed ourselves to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.

As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less bitter or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that it does not take much to make an immense difference in these children’s lives.

I am still very much an optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world’s toughest problems is possible — and it is happening every day. We are seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world. I am excited by the possibilities I see for medicine. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we are going to see some amazing achievements in this area in my lifetime.

The Tower of London

’Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress’, ’The Tower’ and ’The White Tower’ are all names for the building most commonlv known as The Tower of London. Construction began in 1078 but work A22 , on and off, over

A period of two hundred years or more.

The Towerwas essentially a fortress whose functions eventually extended to that of royal palace, prison, armoury, zoo, Royal Mint and observatory. Since

1303 it has also been used A23StoringthecrownJewelsoftheUnited

Kingdom. Today, however, The Tower is cared for by an independent charity and receives no funding from the government or the crown.

______ The Tower is probably best known for the famous prisoners who were A24∣, and sometimes executed there. In 1483 the 13-year-old King Edward V and his 10-year-old brother Richard were murdered there;

Apparently on the orders of their uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. A25

The most famous victim of The Tower was Anne Boleyn, the unfortunate second wife of Henry VIII. But Guy Fawkes, Thomas Moore, Sir Walter Raleigh and even the future Queen Elizabeth I were all imprisoned behind those fearsome walls.

Most people know the A26 legend that if the ravens ever leave The Tower then the British Monarchy will be dooMed. Possibly less people know however that the Tower was also one of the A27 zoos. Lions, tigers and large A28 of rare and exotic species lived in the Tower gardens over 800 years ago.
