The
skills needed to succeed in college are very different from those required in
high school.
In
addition to study skills that may be new to students, there will also be
everyday living skills that students may not have had to use before.
Students
should:
– know how to
handle everyday living skills such as doing laundry, paying bills, balancing a
checkbook, cooking, getting the oil changed in the car, etc.
–
be familiar and compliant with medical needs concerning medication and health
problems. If ongoing medical and/or
psychological treatment is needed, arrangements should be made in advance to
continue that care while the student is away at college.
–
understand that the environmental, academic, and social structure provided by
parents and teachers will not be in place in college. With this lack of
structure comes an increased need for responsibility in decision-making and
goal-setting.
–
know how to interact appropriately with instructors, college staff, roommates,
and peers. Appropriate social interaction and communication are essential at
the college level of education.

Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
ARE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF
LEARNING THE BEST?
Read
about some alternative schools of thought…
One school in Hampshire,
UK, offers 24-hour teaching. The children can decide when or if they come to
school. The school is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., for 364 days a year and
provides online teaching throughout the night. The idea is that pupils don't
have to come to school and they can decide when they want to study. Cheryl
Heron, the head teacher, said “Some students learn better at night. Some
students learn better in the morning.” Cheryl believes that if children are
bored, they will not come to school. “Why must teaching only be conducted in a
classroom? You can teach a child without him ever coming to school.”
Steiner
schools encourage creativity and free thinking so children can study art, music
and gardening as well as science and history. They don’t have to learn to read
and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the teachers can’t use
textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the
children have to go to special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”,
which help them learn to concentrate. Very young children learn foreign
languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools
is that at Steiner schools you don't have to do any tests or exams.
A
child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible.
Even two-year-old children can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music,
often on the violin. They do this by
watching and listening. They learn by copying, just like they learn their
mother tongue. The child has to join in, but doesn't have to get it right.
“They soon learn that they mustn't stop every time they make a mistake. They
just carry on,” said one Suzuki trainer. The children have to practise for
hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly.
“The parents must be involved too,”
said the trainer, “or it just doesn't work.”
123. Which of the
following is NOT true about 24-hour teaching?
A.
Students can come to school from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
B.
Students can study online at night.
C.
Students can choose the time to study.

in the morning and some need to study at night.
124. According to
Cheryl Heron, teaching ____.
A.
should happen throughout the night B. is not necessarily
carried out in class
C.
is for children who will not come to school D. must be around the year

don't ____.

encourage children's creativity and free thinking
B.
allow teachers to teach things out of textbooks
C. teach reading and writing to
young children
