Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Do you think education is better now than it was in your grandparents’ time? Many older people
in the UK believe the opposite. “Schools were better in our day,” they complain. “There isn’t
enough discipline these days. Kids don’t work as hard as we did, either. The syllabus isn’t as
challenging, so clever students aren’t being stretched enough. They need to study things in greater
depth. Exams are much, much easier now as well.”
Were schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a 1950s boarding
school. They got a big surprise! The first shock came when the teenagers met their new teachers.
Dressed in traditional black gowns, they look so frosty and uncaring! They were really
authoritarian, too, so anyone caught breaking the rules – talking in classes, mucking about in
the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included writing ‘lines, or
staying after class to do detention. The naughtiest kids were expelled.
Things were just as bad after class. At meal times the students had to endure a diet of plain, no-
nonsense, healthy food. Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the
Internet wasn’t an option, as personal computers didn’t exist in the 1950s!
At the end of ‘term’ everyone sat 1950s-style exams. The old exams were much longer than their
twenty-first century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by heart. History

papers were all dates and battles. Maths papers were trickier, too; calculators weren’t around in
the 1950s, so the students had to memorise multiplication tables and master long division. Our
candidates found this really difficult.
The exam results surprised a lot of people. Students predicted to do well in their real-life, twenty-
first century exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams. Does this prove modern exams are
too easy? Do twentỵ-first century kids rely too much on modem technology, like calculators and
computers? The TV series of That ‘ll teach ‘em! focused on a 1960s vocational school. UK
school-kids study a range of academic subjects these days. But in the 1960s, children judged to
be less ‘able’ went to vocational schools. These helped them learn job skills. Boys studied subjects
like metalwork, woodwork or gardening. In some classes, they even learned how to milk goats!
The girls’ timetables included secretarial skills. They also learned to cook, clean and sew –
probably not much fun for most girls.
Question 26. What criticism is sometimes made about modem education in the first paragraph?
A. Teachers aren’t strict enough.
B. The syllabus is out of date.
C. There’s too much stress on exams.
D. The teaching methods are not good enough.
Question 27. The word “authoritarian” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. Inexperienced B. impolite
C. Unreasonable D. strict
Question 28. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the food the students ate at
school?
A. It wasn’t cooked properly. B. It wasn’t delicious.

C. It wasn’t nutritious. D. There wasn’t much of it.

Question 29. The word “obligatory” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. Compulsory B. difficult C. long D. complicated

Question 30. According to the passage, how did exams in the 1950s differ from those in the
twenty-first century?
A. They covered more subjects.

B. It took students less time to do them.

C. There was more to remember.

D. They were less difficult.
