Two
students were discussing the school’s new rule that all the students must wear
a cap and a tie. One of them showed her annoyance. She said that wearing a cap
and tie was only suitable for a flag raising ceremony. So, she was against the
rule. Contrary to the other student was glad it.
He
said that he didn’t mind with the new rule because wearing a cap and a tie will
make the students look great and like real educated persons. The first student

There are a lot of discussions
whether children should be given homework or not.
Some people claim that children do
enough work in school already. They also argue that children have hobbies that
they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further point they
make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at
all.
However, there are also strong
arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is
important to find out whether children can work on their own without the
support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children
to sit down and think about what they have learnt in the school.
Furthermore they claim that the
school day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes
sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that
don’t need teacher support.
On balance, i think that some
homework is a good idea but that it should only given at the weekend when
children have more time.

who are against homework?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3

D. Do

E. Test

lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.” (paragraph 2)
The
underlined word is synonymous with ....

Cigarettes,
Smokers, and Smoking
Smoking
is a bad habit that is very hard to break. Smokers are everywhere. Many people
smoke just to socialize, but many others are too addicted to quit.
A
cigarette is like a toxin hypermarket. You can find many kinds of toxin in it:
acetone, carbon monoxide, tar, arcenic, ammoniac, hydrogen cyanide, and
toluene. The tar itself contains more than 43 substances that can cause cancer.
Scientists say that when we are smoking, we put more than 4.000 kinds of toxic
materials into our body.
However,
many smokers believe that a cigarette with low tar is less dangerous. And so is
a filtered cigarette. But the problem is one cigarette is never enough for
addicted smokers.
Another
myth about smoking is that it cannot only make them awake but also raise their
inspiration. This is contrary to the findings of a research in California which
show that smoker’s ability to think is lower than that of non-smokers.
Smoking
is indeed a serious social problem in our country. The government keeps
reminding that smoking is dangerous, not only for smokers themselves, but also
for other people in the surroundings (passive smokers). But the warnings do not
seem to get any response.

Have
you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter
the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you are
eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called
the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places
such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit
about the size of a small pineapple.
The beans are fermented for about a
week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate
maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavour, so they are often
sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next the roasted beans are
wninowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then
the nib are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it liquid. The liquid
is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds
contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao
beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter
chocolate.

Smoking is
harmful for four reasons. Firstly, it is a very expensive habit. Frequently the
