Grammar
II. Choose the correct option to complete the first part of an article
about education.
Finland has been, for many years, one of the best countries in
education. Why? What does Finland do differently?
First of all, in terms of evaluation, Finnish students only take one
standardized test during their entire primary and secondary schooling.
The Finnish test, called the National Matriculation Examination,
[ Seleccionar ] at the end of high school and it
[ Seleccionar ] by teachers, not computers. The
questions students [ Seleccionar ] are about life,
happiness, ethics, political issues, evolution, environment, etc.

Regarding the teaching profession, through years, Finnish authorities
have understood the importance to appreciate and value teachers. In
fact, teachers in Finland [ Seleccionar ] twice as much
as teachers in Latin America. As a result, teachers work harder and

students get better results since they aren’t teaching to memorize, but to
think critically.
III. Choose the correct answer to complete the following dialogue.

class.

months. Actually, three weeks ago, he [ Seleccionar ]
me that they were behind the schedule and they were working around
the clock to catch up.
Andy: Well, I’m afraid he’s not coming today so why don’t we go to the
library and finish our final presentation?
Sophie: Great idea!

Parcial Pregunta 3 22.5 / 25 ptos.
Reading
Read the following text about celebrations around the world.
Each country has its particular way to commemorate their traditions
and customs. Some of these celebrations could sound weird, but once
you have read about them, you might want to take part of them.
Holi, India
You may well have participated in a replica of this amazing Indian
festival of color, but until you’ve attended a Holi festival in India, you
won’t have done anything like the real thing. At a real Holi, there are
some quite potent drinks available, which we won’t mention here, but
which make sure everyone is really in the right mood for the fun which
lasts one night and all through the following day. Get happy, get soaked
with water then get plastered with multi-colored Holi powder. Everyone
is fair game as a target so make sure you’ve got lots of powder for
ammunition before you hit the streets.
This festival takes place at the very beginning of March. Dates vary
slightly every year depending on the Hindu calendar.
Burning Man Festival, Black Rock Desert, Nevada, U.S.A

You can enjoy this celebration at end of August to the beginning of
September. If you loved the film Mad Max when it was on the cinema
screen, don’t miss the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert
of Nevada in the States. When you’re there, you’ll feel as if you’ve
walked onto the film set. The Burning Man Festival is held in a specially
constructed, temporary city (yes, you read the word city right) in the
heart of the Black Rock Desert. The event lasts for a full nine days and
could probably be classed as the biggest open-air art exhibition in the
world and the only one which culminates in the burning of enormous
effigies.
Loy Krathong & Yee Peng Lantern Festivals, Chiang Mai, Thailand
If you want to celebrate in a style which really sets the night on fire then
you need to be at the Loy Krathong and the Yee Peng Lantern
Festivals in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Why both? They’re both so uniquely
different you won’t want to miss either.
During Loy Krathong, which is celebrated all over Thailand in
November, the rivers and lakes flicker to life when innumerable tiny
craft bearing lighted candles are set free to float upon the waters. It’s a
truly amazing sight only rivaled by the Yee Peng Lantern Festival,
which is part of Loy Krathong when hundreds of thousands of
illuminated lanterns are liberated and soar simultaneously into the night
sky. No, it’s not a mad booze-up, but it is an impressive show you
should see at least once in your life.

Specific dates change depending on when the full moon of the 12th
month in the Thai calendar falls.
St Patrick’s Day, Dublin, Ireland & New York, USA

Your friends will turn green with envy when you tell them you’re going
to a St Patrick’s Day celebration. Whether you’re in Dublin or New York
on the 17th of March, you’ll be guaranteed an amazing time. It’s a bit of
a mad bash considering the festivity is in honor of Ireland’s patron saint
and if you think you’ve seen a leprechaun in the parade, well, you
probably won’t be hallucinating. You might think that “going green”
means you’re a budding environmentalist, but not on St Patrick’s Day.
You’ll need to be dressed from head to toe in the color and have your
face painted too otherwise you’ll stand out like a sore thumb. Don’t
forget to learn the Irish word for cheers, sláinte. This is a boozy party
so you could well be saying it quite a lot.
Now that you know more about these wild celebrations, don’t wait too
long to grab your passport and go with flow!
