ARE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF LEARNING THE BEST?
Read about some alternative schools of thought…
One school in Hampshire, UK, offers 24-hour teaching. The children can decide when or if they come to school.
The school is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., for 364 days a year and provides online teaching throughout the night.
The idea is that pupils don't have to come to school and they can decide when they want to study. Cheryl Heron, the
head teacher, said “Some students learn better at night. Some students learn better in the morning.” Cheryl believes
that if children are bored, they will not come to school. “Why must teaching only be conducted in a classroom? You
can teach a child without him ever coming to school.”
Steiner schools encourage creativity and free thinking so children can study art, music and gardening as well as
science and history. They don’t have to learn to read and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the teachers
can’t use textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the children have to go to
special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”, which help them learn to concentrate. Very young
children learn foreign languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools is that at
Steiner schools you don't have to do any tests or exams.
 A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible. Even two-year-old children
can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this by watching and listening. They
learn by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The child has to join in, but doesn't have to get it right.
“They soon learn that they mustn't stop every time they make a mistake. They just carry on,” said one Suzuki
trainer. The children have topractise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn
quickly. “The parents must be involved too,” said the trainer, “or it just doesn't work.”
Question 41. According to Cheryl Heron, teaching ______________.
A. should happen throughout the night
B. is not necessarily carried out in class
C. is for children who will not come to school
D. must be around the year
Question 42: The word “conducted” is closest inmeaning to .
A. carried out B. destroyed A. built D.decorated .
Question 43: Which of the following is TRUE about Steiner schools?
A. They are different from traditional schools.
B. Young children are not taught foreign languages.
C. Students must concentrate on music.
D. Students have to do exams and tests.
Question 44: Which of the following is the most suitable title for the third paragraph?
A. Traditional ways of teaching B. 24-hour teaching
C. Learn by listening D. Starting young
Question 45: Students learning music with Suzuki method ____.
A. must learn difficult music . B. like to learn their mother tongue
C. stop when they make mistakes D. start at an early age
V. Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits each space in the following passage.
Ever since it was first possible to make a real robot, people have been hoping for the invention of a machine that
would do all the necessary jobs around the house. If boring and repetitive factory work could be (46) _______ by
robots, why not boring and repetitive household chores too? For a long time the only people who really gave the

_______ very complex. It has never been one job, it has always been many. A factory robot carries (48) _______

robot, on the other hand, has to do several different types of cleaning and carrying jobs and also has to cope with all
the different shapes and positions of rooms, furniture, ornaments, cats and dogs.
(49) _______, there have been some developments recently. Sensors are available to help the robot locate
objects and avoid obstacles. We have the technology to produce the hardware and the software - the programs (50)
_______ will operate the machine.
