IV. Read the passage and answer the questions below.

ENGLISH IS CONFUSING

“Good evening, everybody!” said the teacher, Donna. “Where is everybody?” That was sort of a daily joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.

“I don’t know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come,” said one student. “Maybe watching TV football tonight.”

“Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there’s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let’s get started, okay? We’re on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we’re studying participles as adjectives. Students are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we’re just going to practice the present participle.

“The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, ‘Grammar is boring’ means that the subject – grammar – causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting,’ we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, ‘The roller coaster is exciting,’ we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing you? Is everyone confused?”

The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.

Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.

1. What was Donna’s daily joke?

.................................................................................

2. How many students were usually present when class started?

.................................................................................

3. Which season was it?

.................................................................................

4. How long did summer school last?

5. What was always smaller in the summer?

Read the text and then choose the best answer A, B, C or D.

Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for "high wave in a harbor", are giant sea wave. These waves are quite different from storm surges. They are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves although they have nothing to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, which is far more appropriate because they are often the result of undersea seismic activity.

Tsunamis can be caused when the sea floor suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances, at speeds close to 700 kilometres per hour. In the open ocean, tsunami waves are not very high, often no more than one or two metres. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast thay they increase in height, possibly up to 40 metres.

1. The passage mainly discusses __________

A. tidal waves B. tides C. tsunamis D. storm surges

2. All of the following is true about tidal waves EXCEPT __________

A. They are as another name for tsunamis

B. They are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides

C. this term is not used by the scientists

D. the name refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves

3. The word "them" in the passage refers to __________

A. tidal waves B. tsunamis C. storm surges D. sea waves

4. The word "shallow" in the passage mostly means __________

A. not clear B. tidal C. coastal D. not deep

5. It can be understood from the passage that tsunamis __________

A. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean

B. generally reach heights greater than 40 metres

C. are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean

D. are often identified by ships on the ocean

Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the world, for example, pollution problems.

Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains and posonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish.

Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult every day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.

1. How often can we hear, see and read about problems in the world?

➝

2. What causes the air pollution?

➝

3. Why has the sea become polluted?

4. Can we easily find a clean place nowadays?
