B 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 andcontinues all through our lives. It can be informal or formal. Informal education includes thingsthat we learn from our parents, families, and friends. Formal education includes things that welearn at school, university, or at work.

It is important that all children get a good education from an ear$ age. It helps them to developskills and qualities that will let them have rewarding and interesting lives in the future. Young drildrencan often leam by playlng with toys, either at home or at nursery school or kindergarten. Even simpletoys can help young children to leam about colou4 shape and pattems. Playing with other childrencan 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. Forexample, children can learn about nature in thecountryside near their homes.

High school students often study subjects wherethey have to do experiments. Ofteru these subjectsare sciences, such as Chemistry, Physics, or Biology.'Learning by doing', is an excellent way that studentscan learn about new things. And it doesn't justhappen in science subjects. It can happen in justabout every school subject, including Drama, Music,Physical Education, and English. A good educationgives students opportunities to work together anddevelop good practical and thinking skills.

Many students want to go to university when theyfinish their high school studies. They want to studya subject that they are particularly interested in. Theyhope 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 inforeign countries. When this happens, these students must not only be good at the subject they arestudying. They must also be fluent in the language of the country they are in.

i,,i!r:ri{ri 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 becausethey want to study in Britairu Canada, Australia, or America. Other people learn English becausesome of the textbooks they use for their studies at Indonesian universities are written in English.

The English Language is a living language thatis used in more countries around the world than anyother language. It was first used in England about1,500 years ago and it has been developing andchanging ever since. English is the main language inBritain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,North America, and many other countries.

The English that is used around the world isvery varied. For example, the English that is used inEngland is different from the English used in NorthAmerica, or Africa, or India. There are even differencesbetween the English that is used in the north ofEngland and the English used in the south of England.

So, with all these differences, how can you learnto use English correctly? Well, there are 'rules' on howto use English that we call'English Grammar'. TheseruIes were made about 400 years ago. They help us tounderstand how we can use English to communicatebetter with people all around the world. As you workthrough this book, you will learn more about the basicrules of English.

You will also increase your English vocabulary.The English Language has a huge vocabulary of over1,000,000 words. It is impossible for anyone to learn allof these words, but as you work through this book youwill learn more words each lesson.

Rahman is a manager at an internationalcompany in jakarta. Shortly after recording the passage

for task G, he went to work for his company in itsMalawi 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 inthe country. Fortunately, as a former British colony,

most people in Malawi can speak English.

Rahman later said, 'I found Malawi to be avery poor country. Much poorer than Indonesia. Butthe 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. Allschool lessons are taught in English and it is also the

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 goingback to school after a long relaxing six week holiday. For one studen! thougtr, this feeling was muchstronger. Her name was Gurdeep. Today was going to be her first day at a new school.

Unit 1

Gurdeep was fifteen. She knew that movingto a new school at her age was going to verydifficult. For a starf she was going to miss allher 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 goingto 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 usedto everything. It's not a bad piace really. Although I'll be glad when this year's over. Then I canreally 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' Clairereplied. '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 medicalschool. 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 intomedical 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 businesslike 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 anIndian restaurant.'

'You mean the old chippy?' Claire asked.

'Yeah, that's the one,' said Gurdeep. 'Noweveryone can come and have their chips withcurry 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 specialvindaioo curry. It's really hot and spicy!'

Lateq, during the break between morninglessons, Claire introduced Gurdeep to some ofher friends.

'Hi, everyone. I want you to meetGurdeep. She's new here. Her family's justbought the old chippy. They're going toturn it into a curry house.'

'Hi, I'm Jess.'

'I'm Mark.'

'And I'm Ben. I'm very pleased to meetyou, Curdeep!'

'Hey, you'll have to watch out for him,'Claire said to Gurdeep. 'He thinks he's likeyour vindaloo curry!'

'And just what do you mean by that?' asked Ben.

'Oh, nothing!' laughed Claire.

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 wouldtake much longer to make friends. But even though it was only her first day, she was alreadybeginning 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 veryimportant lesson today. She reminded herself about something her father had once said to her:'You should never judge a book by its cover.'
