Read the text carefully then do the activities.
Today, there are some 43 million pupils and students in public schools at the elementary and secondary levels,
and another 6 million in private schools throughout America. In other words, 88 percent of American children
attend public schools and 12 percent go to private schools. United Nations figures show that in the amount spent
on education per capital, the U.S. is in ninth place in the world (behind Qatar, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands,
Luxembourg, Denmark, Switzerland, and Canada).
Most historians agree that a great deal of the economic, political, scientific, and cultural progress America has
made in its relatively short history is due to its commitment to the ideal of equal opportunity. This is the ideal of
educating as many Americans as possible, to the best of their abilities. From the early times on, especially in the
northern and western states, the public policy was to produce an educated people.
American education has encouraged more Americans than ever before to study for advanced degrees and to
become involved in specialized research. The belief that the future of society depends on the quantity and quality
of its educated citizens is widely held. It explains why a great many Americans are still willing to give more money
to education, even during times of economic difficulty.

THIRDTERM ENGLISH TEST N01
A/Comprehension:
Generally, at the start of a very young age, children learn to develop and use their mental, moral and
physical powers, which they acquire through various types of education. Education is commonly referred to as the
process of learning and obtaining knowledge at school, in a form of formal education. However, the process
of education does not only start when a child first attends school. Education begins at home. One does not only
acquire knowledge from a teacher; one can learn and receive knowledge from a parent, family member and even
an acquaintance. In almost all societies, attending school and receiving an education is extremely vital and
necessary if one wants to achieve success.
However, unfortunately we have places in the world, where not everyone has an opportunity to receive this
formal type of education. Furthermore because parents need their children to help them work in factories, have
odd jobs, or just do farm work.
Learning subjects in school is not enough. One can learn history, math, science in school, and be
"book-smart". In addition, one can learn how to live life by knowing what to say when, acting a certain way
in certain situations and be "street-smart". These two types of knowledge are extremely essential to be successful
in life. For example, you can have all the "book" knowledge in the world about a certain profession, but if you don't
know how to behave with your co-workers and or your superiors, having "book" knowledge won't get you too far.
But no matter what, education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and
ultimately succeed in life. Education is very important, and no one should be deprived of it.
