10. Read the article about an unusual school called Summerhill. Complete
these sentences with one or two words.

A school with no rules?

Is it possible to have a school with no rules? Lots of ‘democratic’ or ‘free’ schools
around the world say it is. The oldest and best known of these schools is Summerhill
School in England. About 75 children between the ages of 5 and 17 go there.
The idea behind Summerhill is that children should be confident enough to make
decisions on their own. The students must decide which subjects they’ll study but
they don’t have to go to class if they don’t want to. They can hang out in the art room
or garden instead. They don’t have to do exams either but most students take some
exams before they leave school.
Like students in most other schools, students at Summerhill do maths, English,
science etc. What’s different is that they have to choose other kinds of activities and
projects. Here the students suggest the projects and not the teachers. Suggestions
have included: afternoon walks, magic shows and gardening.
Teachers do not give marks at the end of the year and the school does not send
reports to families. If a parent wants a report on their child, first the child has to say
that it’s OK for the teacher to write one.

1. Summerhill is ________________ and more famous than any other ‘free’ school.

2. Students who don’t go to class can spend time in the ________________ instead.

3. ________________ students in Summerhill never do exams.

4. Apart from doing normal subjects, students also have to do activities and projects
like ________________.

5. The child has to ________________ before a teacher sends a report to their

mother or father.

school and he wasn’t interested in school work. He preferred drawing in his

exam, that the school let him join.

matches, Rubio asked his father if he could go back to basketball. At the age of 14,

Reading

10. Read the interview with a young journalist and complete the sentences.
Use no more than three words.

An interview with young journalist, Anna Rathbone

What did you want to be when you were a child?
I’ve always been someone who is happy to talk in front of an audience. So from a
very early age, I wanted to be an actor, a politician, a TV presenter – that kind of
thing. I remember the day I started school – my classmates were crying and I was
making friends with the older kids.
So how did you become a journalist?
I’ve always loved writing but when I got to High School, I was asked by my teacher to
write something for the sports page. I’ve never been interested in sport but I
accepted the job. I interviewed the coach of the local basketball team as I knew
some of the basketball players. And that was the first of many articles.
What is your working day like?
It’s busy. I get up very early and spend the first part of the morning reading the
headlines, listening to the news and answering emails. If I’m working on an interview
or an important event, I’ll do an internet search and download information. Around
midday, I’ll often set off to interview people or cover an event. Some days I’m home
again by five but on other days I might not get back until late.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m taking a break right now. I’ve just finished an article about young explorers, you
know, teenagers who have been all around the world. Before that I was working on
an interview with a vegetarian family who grow all their own food. Then in March, I’m
flying to Los Angeles to interview people who are famous for their graffiti.
What have been the best and worst moments so far?
I’m not sure I’ve ever had a worst moment. I spend a lot of time on my own which
means I get lonely sometimes. My trip to Antarctica was really tiring but it was also
unforgettable. I met a group of scientists there who are studying the penguins. The
ecosystem is amazing. The penguins are at the top of it so if their population
changes, life for all the other animals and plants in that area will change too.
