READING 1
‘The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a violinist and
music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in London, prefers
to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year olds. When she
started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's five-year-old school friends.
Margaret’s pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an
hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to
attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they
have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and
reading of music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always
suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional
methods.

Question 1: When did Margaret Porter start teaching the violin?

A. at the age of 36 B. in 1972 C. in 1927 D. at the age of 34
Question 2: What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. explain why Margaret likes teaching the violin
B. describe a different way of learning the violin
C. give advice on how to find a music teacher
D. explain why Margaret has a lot of pupils
Question 3: What opinion does Margaret have about her best pupils?
A. They ought to find another teacher. B. They will become great violinists using her method.
C. They could try harder. D. They take several years to learn to read music.
Question 4: Margaret’s first pupils were.....................
A. her children B. three-and four-year-olds
C. her own friends D. her children's friends.
Question 5: The word "They" in the paragraph 3 refers to................
