ii;tr;r,:i the following

passage carefully. Education is the way that we learn about things. It begins on the day that we are born and continues all through our lives. It can be informal or formal. Informal education includes things that we learn from our parents, families, and friends. Formal education includes things that we learn at school, university, or at work. It is important that all children get a good education from an ear$ age. It helps them to develop skills and qualities that will let them have rewarding and interesting lives in the future. Young drildren can often leam by playlng with toys, either at home or at nursery school or kindergarten. Even simple toys can help young children to leam about colou4 shape and pattems. Playing with other children can also help each child to develop good social and communication skills. A good education should provide children with opportunities to learn outside the classroom. There is a great deal that children can leam by taking part in activities away from school. For example, children can learn about nature in the countryside near their homes.

High school students often study subjects where they have to do experiments. Ofteru these subjects are sciences, such as Chemistry, Physics, or Biology. 'Learning by doing', is an excellent way that students can learn about new things. And it doesn't just happen in science subjects. It can happen in just about every school subject, including Drama, Music, Physical Education, and English. A good education gives students opportunities to work together and develop good practical and thinking skills. Many students want to go to university when they finish their high school studies. They want to study a subject that they are particularly interested in. They hope to graduate with a good degree, so that they can get a job with good career prospects. Usually, students study at universities in their own country. Someti'mes, students study at universities in foreign countries. When this happens, these students must not only be good at the subject they are studying. They must also be fluent in the language of the country they are in.

this passage about English for Education.

Why do so many people around the world learn English? What about people in Indonesia? WelL some people learn English because they need it for their jobs. Others learn English because they want to study in Britairu Canada, Australia, or America. Other people learn English because some of the textbooks they use for their studies at Indonesian universities are written in English. The English Language is a living language that is used in more countries around the world than any other language. It was first used in England about 1,500 years ago and it has been developing and changing ever since. English is the main language in Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, North America, and many other countries. The English that is used around the world is very varied. For example, the English that is used in England is different from the English used in North America, or Africa, or India. There are even differences between the English that is used in the north of England and the English used in the south of England. So, with all these differences, how can you learn to use English correctly? Well, there are 'rules' on how to use English that we call'English Grammar'. These ruIes were made about 400 years ago. They help us to understand how we can use English to communicate better with people all around the world. As you work through this book, you will learn more about the basic rules of English. You will also increase your English vocabulary. The English Language has a huge vocabulary of over 1,000,000 words. It is impossible for anyone to learn all of these words, but as you work through this book you will learn more words each lesson.

with a partner. Then, compare Malawi with Indonesia.

Rahman is a manager at an international

company in jakarta. Shortly after recording the passage for task G, he went to work for his company in its Malawi office in Southeast Africa. In Malawi the local language is called'Chichewa'. This was a language that Rahman had never heard of before he arrived in the country. Fortunately, as a former British colony, most people in Malawi can speak English. Rahman later said, 'I found Malawi to be a very poor country. Much poorer than Indonesia. But the people were very friendly. And, luckily for me at least 95% of the population spoke excellent English. In fact English is the country's official language. All school lessons are taught in English and it is also the Rahman in Malawi language of the government.' After his stay in Africa, Rahman spent some time in England at his company's Head Office. Then he went to the company's office in India for a brief stay. 'You know my English lessons proved to be very usefuf' he said. 'Because wherever I travel in the world I feel confident. I know that I will never have any problems communicating with people. English is spoken everywhere!'

It was

September, the start of a new school year. All the students felt a little bit strange going back to school after a long relaxing six week holiday. For one studen! thougtr, this feeling was much

stronger. Her name was Gurdeep. Today was going to be her first day at a new school.


Unit

1

Gurdeep was fifteen. She knew that moving to a new school at her age was going to very difficult. For a starf she was going to miss all her friends at her old school. But rnore than that, as soon as Gurdeep waiked through the school gate she could see that all the other students were white. 'I'm the only one rvith brown skiry' Gurdeep thought to herseif. 'How are they going to react to me?' she wondered.

'Good morning, class,' said Mr Davies. 'We've got a new student starting with us / today. Her name's'Gurdeep'. I hope you'll all do your best to make her feel welcome. Claire, will you take care of Gurdeep today and make sure she doesn't get lost?' 'Yes, siq,' Claire replied. 'I'11 introduce you to everyone at breaktime,' Claire said to Gurdeep. 'You'll soon get used to everything. It's not a bad piace really. Although I'll be glad when this year's over. Then I can really start to get on with my life.' 'What do you want to do when you've finished your exams?' asked Gurdeep. 'I'm off to London. I've got a place at a dance college. I want to be a dancing teacheq' Claire replied. 'What about you?' 'Oh, I want to go to sixth form college and do my 'A' levels. Then I'11 be able to go to medical school. I want to be a doctor,' Gurdeep told Claire. 'A doctor?' Claire asked. She seemed a bit surprised. 'You've got to be really clever to get into

medical school,' she continued.

'I

know, but it's always been my dad's dream that I'il be a doctor one day,' Gurdeep replied. 'And it's something I'm really interested in myself. I don't just want to go into the family business like my brothers.'

'Oh, what business is that?' asked Claire. 'We've just bought the old Fish and Chip shop on the high street. We're turning it into an Indian restaurant.' 'You mean the old chippy?' Claire asked. 'Yeah, that's the one,' said Gurdeep. 'Now everyone can come and have their chips with

curry sauce!' 'Cool! We can all come round after school!' said Claire with interest.

'aoo?' replied Gurdeep. 'You won't be saying cool when you've tasted our special vindaioo curry. It's really hot and spicy!' Lateq, during the break between morning

lessons, Claire introduced Gurdeep to some of her friends.


ill 'Hi, everyone. I want you to meet Gurdeep. She's new here. Her family's just bought the old chippy. They're going to turn it into a curry house.'

'Hi, I'm Jess.' 'I'm Mark.' 'And I'm Ben. I'm very pleased to meet you, Curdeep!' 'Hey, you'll have to watch out for him,' Claire said to Gurdeep. 'He thinks he's like

your vindaloo curry!' 'And just what do you mean by that?' asked 'Oh, nothing!' laughed Claire.

Ben.

In no time at all, Gurdeep was laughing arvay with her new friends, Claire, Jess, Mark and 'vindaloo' Ben. She felt happy, but more than a little bit surprised. She had thought that it would take much longer to make friends. But even though it was only her first day, she was already beginning to feel at home in her new school. Lateq, as she walked home at the end of school, Gurdeep realised that she had learnt a very important lesson today. She reminded herself about something her father had once said to her: 'You should never judge a book by its cover.'
