BEING AN OLDER STUDENT At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I have had to learn to read books quickly and write long essays. I decided to go university after fourteen years away from the classroom. As a secretary, although I was earning a reasonable amount of money, I was bored doing something where I hardly had to think. I became more and more depressed by the idea that I was stuck in the job. I was jealous of the students at the local university who looked happy, carefree and full of hope, and part of something that I wanted to explore further. However, now that I’ve actually become a student I find it hard to mix with younger colleagues. They are always mistaking me for a lecturer and asking me questions I can’t answer. I also feel separated from the lecturers because, although we are the same age, I know so much less than them. But I am glad of this opportunity to study because I know you need a qualification to get a rewarding job, which is really important to me. Unlike most eighteen – year – olds, I much prefer a weekend with my books to one out partying. Then there are the normal student benefits of long holidays and theatre and cinema discounts. I often have doubts about what I’ll do after university, but I hope that continuing my education at this late date has been a wise choice. 1. What is the writer trying to do in the text? A. help lecturers understand older students B. explain her reasons for returning to study C. suggest some good methods for studying D. complain about the attitude of young students 2. What can a reader find out about the writer from this text? A. when she left school B. how long her university course is C. where she will work in future D. what subject she is studying 3. How did the writer feel about her job as a secretary? A. Her salary wasn’t good enough. B. It gave her the opportunity to study. C. It didn’t make use of her brain. D. Her colleagues made her depressed. 4. In her spare time, the writer likes to A. go out to parties. B. earn some money. C. travel a lot. D. do extra study. 5. Which of these sentences describes the writer? A. She realizes the value of a university degree. B. She gets on well with the other students. C. She is confident about the future. D. She finds university life easier than she expected. Write your answers (A, B, C or D) here (0.2/ea): 1 2 3 4 5 Part 4: Read the text and then choose the best answer to each question carefully. The incredible growth of the Internet over recent years has caused problems for parents and teachers. Parents worry about which sites their children spend time on, who they chat to online and the possible effects that computer games might have on them. For teachers, meanwhile, the main worry is the way the Internet makes cheating easier! HSGVH9 5 2018-2019
7. Schools and universities say there has been a huge increase in plagiarism – taking other people’s words and ideas and pretending that they are your own. In the past, anyone who wanted to copy had to go to a library, find the right books, read through them, find the sections they needed and then physically write down the words they wanted to use. Nowadays, though, students can simply copy extracts from websites - while really desperate students sometimes copy whole essays! As if this wasn’t bad enough, sites offering to actually do homework – at a price – have also started appearing. Despite all this, we shouldn’t assume that the Internet only brings problems. Indeed, you could say that for every problem the Internet creates, it also brings a solution. Parents can now use sophisticated controls to stop kids accessing sites that might do them harm, while new software helps teachers to detect copied work immediately. Many, of course, are already able to recognize when someone is cheating! “Some students suddenly start using words they can’t possibly understand like “dialectical antagonism”, explains one teacher, or parts of their essays feel different.” One of the hardest things for teachers today is deciding how to mix modern technology with traditional study skills - and how best to use the Web in class. As more and more schools install computers in every classroom, the role of the teacher is changing. Making sure students don’t just copy things and do learn how to quote copied work properly is part of their job, but so is designing suitable projects to fully exploit the Web in helping students students learn about subjects and develop their life and social skills. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. Students wasting time on computer games B. The Internet making cheating easier C. The effect that the Web is having on school life D. The Web used in projects to teach social skills 2. The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to . A. parents B. children C. games D. teachers 3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Plagiarism is copying someone’s work and pretending it’s your own. B. Designing projects to take advantage of the Internet is one of parents‟ duties. C. Many teachers can recognize when their students are cheating. D. Parents can use some software to stop children assessing harmful sites. 4. The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to _ . A. copying other people’s work B. finding the right books C. sale of homework on the Web D. physically writing down words 5. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. The Internet has only bad impacts on education. B. Many websites offer to do homework without fee. C. The Internet can be used positively in education. D. Parents don’t want to control children’s access to sites. Write your answers (A, B, C or D) here (0.2/ea): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
