Question 4

Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.

Most of teenagers need to go to school and there are a lot of schools over there.
Nowadays, schools grow to offer plenty of choice; private and state ones. However
it is a hard choice, since there are many factors which need to be considered before
making the selection. Some will be influenced by friends; because some friends got
to a certain school then we go to there too. Some prefer to choose a certain school
because of the closer distance. In fact, the primary decisive matter for selecting
school is whether the school has been accredited or not.

Why is it important to choose an accredited school? Well, accredited schools have

an edge over the unaccredited schools. This label of Accredited School has an
impact in employment opportunities. As result, if there are two or more students
with similar qualifications, the student who comes from the accredited school will
have an edge over the other candidate. A student from an accredited school has more
open door than student with an unaccredited one.

Many students select a certain school depending more on short term factors like
friend influence and short distance from home. It is not bad, since commuting
actually needs much cost. Choosing school which is closer to home will save time,
energy and money. However if that school is not accredited, the time and money
spent along studying seems to be waste in the long term because it could become a
limiting factor in gaining future opportunities.

Accredited school is not the only factor which will drive student‘s success.
Personality and characterization are very important too. However, a student with
good personality who comes from an accredited school is better than the others.

Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About fifty thousand
people die every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as
many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases
caused by smoking.

Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a
day, we are six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non-smoker. If we
smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is nineteen times greater. Ninety five percent
of people who suffer from bronchitis are people who smoke. Smokers are two and
half times more likely to die of heart disease than non-smokers.

Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and

pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non-smoker breathes as much as substance
causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.

Question 8

Skateboarding

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active,
energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can
be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.

Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people‘s health. It increases

fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it
appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform
stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If

they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws
for fun.

Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s
and Ollie‘s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that
streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where
they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.
The writer‘s purpose for writing the text is ….

Select one:
a. To provoke youngsters into the local government policy
