Noisier and noisier
For the last ten years, engineers (►) ___have been measuring___ (measure) noise
levels in Britain’s cities. The study (►) ____has just been completed___ (just / complete),
and it (1)_________ (show) that there is more noise than ever before. More and more
people (2)_________ (drive) mad by the sounds of the city. Complaints about noise (3)
_________ (increase) constantly over the last twenty years. Last year almost 300,000
complaints (4)_________ (make). The least favorite sources of noise (5) _________ (include)
loud music, barking dogs, mobile phones, car alarms and home improvements. We are all
familiar with the problems. How is it that a car alarm (6) _________ (can / hear) by
everyone except the owner of the car? Why (7) _________ electric drills _________ (have to
/ use) early on Sunday morning? Why (8) _________ arguments _________ (carry) on with
the windows wide open? “Noise (9)_________ (still / increase),” said a member of the
research group. These days, traffic (10)_________ (start) earlier in the morning, and shops
and clubs (11) _________ (stay) open later. The problem must be tackled. People (12)
_________ (can / drive) to commit suicide because of noise. So why (13) _________ nothing
_________ (do) about the problem? Up to now the government (14) _________(pay) little
attention to it, but now action is needed. We all hope that the results of our study (15)
_________ (not / ignore).
If it is a matter or right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer
book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should our teachers waste time on such routine
work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the
right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out,
and let the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn, how to measure
their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as
school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at
school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated as rapidly
changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, but suppose they fail to learn something
essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

IV. Reading
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being
corrected all the time: If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a
day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by
bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way,
children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run,
climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those of more skilled people,
and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out
his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought
that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he
was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work
out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to
that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter or right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer
book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should our teachers waste time on such routine
work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the
right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out,
and let the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn, how to measure
their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as
school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at
school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated as rapidly
