Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and give brief answers to the questions. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
A writer asked some children what they thought about their schools, their teachers, and the subjects taught. Here are some of their ideas and opinions.
Stephen， 13. “Now, do you all understand?” asks the old math master impatiently. Silence! “Right then, get on with pages 22 to 26.” The heads bend down and pens begin to move. A few poor boys, still not understanding, sit waiting anxiously for the bell. Others glance at the clock every few minutes. The bell goes and the nervous feeling breaks; everyone hurriedly packs his books and begins easy breathing again. The master walks out and the next walks in. Another forty dull minutes ... I go to a grammar school and this is a fairly correct description of what a lot of the lessons are like. All this is wrong.
Angela，13. Schools should be made better and made into a place all children like to go to and a place where you go because you want to go. Subjects should be made more exciting instead of sitting in a desk reading or half-listening to a teacher going on and on about a particular thing. I would like to be doing things, finding what I can do and what I can't do; not just talking about, e.g., a diary farm, but talking to the people who work there and trying to milk a cow by myself.
Lyne, 15.The fault with a lot of schools today is that teachers are not prepared to listen. There is a teacher at our school who is very eager about discussions until somebody makes a point which she is unable to explain, and she gets angry and tells us to sit down. I think that’s the method of most teachers today. They don't mind discussing various topics as long as it ends up with them being able to prove a point to you and not the other way. Words: 182
