8. The Power of Numbers
A. Education has the power to transform a person’s life. I am the living example of this. When I was on the streets, I thought I was not good at anything but I wrote a poem, and it got published. I went back to school to learn. I have learned the benefit of research and reading, of debate and listening. One day soon a group of fresh-faced college students will call me professor.
B. Language has the capacity to change the world and the way we live in it. People are often afraid to call things by their direct names, use taboos not to notice dangerous tendencies. Freedom begins with naming things. This has to happen in spite of political climates, careers being won or lost, and the fear of being criticized. After Helen Caldicott used the word ‘nuclear arms race’ an anti-nuclear movement appeared.
C. I never wanted to be a teacher. Yet years later, I find myself teaching high school English. I consider my job to be one of the most important aspects of my life, still I do not teach for the love of teaching. I am a teacher because I love to learn, and I have come to realize that the best way to learn is to teach.
D. One day my sister and I got one and the same homework. My sister finished the task in 2 minutes and went off to play. But I could not do it, so I went into my sister’s room and quickly copied her work. But there was one small problem: my father caught me. He didn’t punish me, but explained that cheating makes people feel helpless. And then I was left feeling guilty for cheating.
E. Lifelong learning does not mean spending all my time reading. It is equally important to get the habit of asking such questions as ‘what don’t I know about this topic, or subject?’, ‘what can I learn from this moment or person?’, and ‘what more do I need to learn?’ regardless of where I am, who I am talking to, or what I am doing.
F. Math has always been something that I am good at. Mathematics attracts me because of its stability. It has logic; it is dependable and never changes. There might be some additions to the area of mathematics, but once mathematics is created, it is set in stone. We would not be able to check emails or play videogames without the computer solving complex algorithms.
G. When my high school English teacher asked us to read Shakespeare, I thought it was boring and too difficult. I agonized over the syntax — I had never read anything like this. But now I am a Shakespeare professor, arid enjoy teaching Hamlet every semester. Each time I re-read the play, I find and learn something new for myself.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
The highest mountain is located on Mars. The giant volcano Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in the solar system and in the known universe. At 14 miles and 388 miles across, it is almost three times the height of Mount Everest and so wide that its base would cover Arizona, or the whole of the area of the British Isles. The crater on the top is around 45 miles wide and over nearly 2 miles deep, easily big enough to swallow London. We traditionally measure mountains by their height. If we measured them by their size, it would be meaningless to isolate one mountain in a range from the rest. That being so, Mount Everest would dwarf Olympus Mons. It is part of the gigantic range which is nearly 1,500 miles long. |

Speaker A. All
my friends from private school are snobbish now because they moved from the
state school I go to. I don’t understand why everyone thinks private schools
are better. Pm not saying I have anything against private schools, but it does
make me a bit upset when I see all the people that used to go to state school
acting snobbish because of a silly little thing like having more lessons in
biology, physics and chemistry than I have in my school.
Speaker В. I
hated my state school that I went to when I was younger. But don’t get me
wrong, I have nothing against state schools in general. I know I was just
unlucky. My brother and sister stayed at a state school right up until their
final exams. They both got really good grades, which proves that private school
education isn’t better for everyone. As for me, I found that people were
friendlier in my private school, and I felt a lot happier. I know this is not
always the case, because my brother and sister enjoyed going to the state school.
Speaker С. Well,
I would like to say, I go to a private school and I was shocked at how much
some people take for granted. One of my classmates got a plasma screen TV for
her birthday and a laptop for Christmas, and she just spoke about them as if
they were ordinary presents, nothing special. It’s not that there’s anything
wrong with it, just sometimes if you have a lot of money, it is important to
remember that you are lucky, because some families are so poor that they have
no money to buy a TV-set in the sales.
Speaker D. A lot of people who go to my private school are not that
rich at all. My parents just wanted the best education for me and this school
was the right choice. Smaller classes are much better, I found this from my own
experience. Here we do separate sciences and I think it allows people to
understand which sciences they like and see which they are good at. You can
also study physics, chemistry and biology in much more detail as well as
languages, history and so on.
Speaker E. I go to private school, and we have to wear a uniform
and I know why we have to have it. If the people in my school didn’t have to
wear it then they would come to school in too short skirts or torn trousers.
And you always get the people who can come into school and look almost like
Halloween, with make up running down their faces and chains hanging off every
place. Not the right things to wear to school I think. School uniform
disciplines pupils and makes them look nice and clean.
Speaker F. I go to a busy city centre school, I think there are
about 1100 pupils and about 120 teachers. The corridors are really narrow in
some of the buildings and there are crowds of pupils running and pushing when
the bell goes and everyone is there. One of the corridors is so narrow that we
have a ‘one way system’. The school definitely needs broader corridors as well
as larger classrooms.
