Making the leap from school to university
Getting into university is an important event for young people. While most students are excited
about it, they should also be aware of the difference between university and school.
At school, most of your learning is done in the classroom. Teachers give you regular assignments
and provide support and resources to help you complete them. Meanwhile, most of your learning at
university involves self-studying and project work that you need to plan and complete by a certain date. It
is your responsibility to review lecture notes, read textbooks, and do research to find information in the
library or online.
Your relationships at school are often limited to schoolmates or classmates. You interact with them
mostly in a school environment; therefore, your group of friends is small and very familiar. By contrast, at
university, you not only have more contacts, but you also meet people from different backgrounds.
Therefore, you need better social skills to deal with any conflict you may come into when interacting with
other people.
As a secondary school student, you also live with your parents who provide you with the daily care
and support you need. You don’t have to worry about things such as shopping or cooking for yourself. You
have your parents take care of your physical and mental well-being. Once you go to university, you will
probably move away from home and start to live independently. You need to improve your life skills so
that you can manage your own life.
Question 1: What is the text mainly about?
A. A comparison between school life and university life.
B. An explanation why university life is more interesting.
C. Advice on how to leap into university life.
D. A report on the difficulties of university life.
Question 2: What does the word ‘them’ in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. classrooms B. teachers C. assignments D. resources
Question 3: What does most of the learning at university involve?
A. Classroom interactions B. Group of friends
C. Self-studying and project work D. Small social circle
Question 4: The word ‘contacts’ in paragraph 3 mostly means __________.
A. people you know B. physical interactions you have
C. people you want to contact D. social benefits you have
Question 5: According to the passage, what do university students need better social skills for?
A. to interact with familiar classmates B. to manage their own life skills
C. to deal with conflicts with people from different background D. to complete regular assignments

Welcome back to the break. Tonight, we have a report on a major environmental problem. Yesterday, the

they had seen people entering and leaving the house very late at night. The police rushed over to the house to check
it out. Inside the house, the police found several endangered species, including sea turtles and tigers. Keeping
endangered species in your home is illegal in our country, which means no one is allowed to have them. The police
brought the people who were keeping the animals to the police station. They told us the animals were caught in
another country and brought here to be sold. We had a chance to interview the neighbor who called the police. The
neighbor said he was shocked. He could not believe there is illegal wildlife trade in our city. The animals are all
