Unit 1: Learning styles
Reading Comprehension
Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow:
Visual learners prefer learning by seeing, either through reading or with pictures and other images.
Aural learners learn best by hearing words or music, while physical learners tend to use their bodies
and sense of touch („learning by doing‟). No matter which of the three basic groups you are in, you
may work best either on your own or with others, but obviously it‟s impossible to be both a social and
a solitary learner. In reality, though, a person‟s own learning style is neither simple nor fixed. Each of
us has a mixture of learning styles. Many people find that they have one style that suits them best,
while others use different styles according to what they are studying. Also, you can make efforts to
improve your learning in styles that you are less good at.
A- Answer the following questions:
1- What are the forms of learning style?
………………………………………………………………..
2- How do aural learners improve their learning style?
………………………………………………………………..
3- "Each of us has a mixture of learning styles" Explain!

B- Complete the following sentences:
1- Physical learners tend to use ……………..and ……………..

G- Say what or who these words refer to:
Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow:
Traditionally, schools tend to use particular teaching methods (either visual or aural, using books, CDs
and written tests). Pupils who learn well with these styles are often seen as' clever ' , while those who
use different styles may find themselves in lower classes , labelled as „slow learners‟. In reality, they
may be neither slow nor especially clever, but if they are treated differently, they may begin to believe
the label that others put on them. But it doesn‟t have to be that way. Becoming more aware of your
personal work that using techniques learning style can help you to take control of your learning by us
well for you.

Unit 2: Education for Success
Read the text below, then complete the following tasks:
Two success stories (and what we can learn from them)
Education Ministers who are hoping to improve their school systems often look at Finland and
Taiwan. The first is a small country in northern Europe with a cold climate and a language hardly
anyone else speak; the second is a very small island that until fairly recently had high levels of
poverty and population. Yet today both of these countries come out at or near the top in
international surveys of economic success. Year after year, they also score highly in educational
results. Can this be an accident, or is there a connection?
Finnish Education Minister Tuula Haatainen certainly believes there is. “In Finland, we believe we
have to invest in education”, she says. One reason she offers for Finland's success is that students
don‟t begin real school until they are 7, and all students between 7 and 16 get the same education.
“We don‟t divide at an early stage between students who do well and those that don‟t manage so
well, she explains. Studies show that it is dangerous to divide too early into different educational
paths”.
Like Finland, Taiwan has nine years of compulsory education, after which ( in both countries ),
students choose either an academic or vocational path. Very few choose to leave school in either
country. One important difference, however, is in national tests, which are very important in
Taiwan but much less so in Finland. Can other countries learn from the Finnish and Taiwanese
experience? There are surely some lessons that can be learnt as long as we remember that just
applying one country's system to another isn't a simple solution to all problems.
A- Answer the questions below:
1- What are two good examples should education ministers look at when improving school systems?
……………………………………………………………………………………………
2- Why aren't students in Finland divided into different educational paths at an early stage?
……………………………………………………………………………………………
3- What makes education successful in Finland?
……………………………………………………………………………………………
4)What are the similarities and differences between Finland and Taiwan?
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
B- Complete the following sentences:
1) Taiwan had high levels of …………………and……………………
2) Finland and Taiwan scored highly in ……………….and ………………..results.
3) National tests are more important in …………………..than ………………….
C- Decide if the following sentences are true or false:
1- Tuula Haatainen believes that there is a connection between good education and successful
economy. ( )
2- Only in Taiwan students have to choose either an academic or vocational path after compulsory
education. ( )
3- The writer advises us to apply the Finnish and Taiwanese experience in other countries.
( )
D- Say what these words & pronouns refer to:
The Secretary of state for Commerce and Industry stressed the importance of education
for economic growth in a speech yesterday. “Improving our education system will give us a
generation of citizens who are better qualified to face the challenges of the technological age, as
well as competition from low wage economies in other countries in Asia and Africa”, he
explained. “It increases what people can earn, lifts people out of poverty and encourages
opportunity”.
He also suggested that the economic health of the country will suffer in future unless more
attention is paid to investing in schools and universities. “We could easily fall behind” ,he said. I
hope it won't happen .But unless we invest more, it might.

Read the following text and answer the questions below:
Is Education Important? The Facts about Education and Economic Growth
Education leads to economic growth is a belief that senior people in education repeat endlessly,
and you might expect Prof. Wells, as a senior academic herself, to join in. Instead, as the title
suggests, her book asks some brave questions and arrives at answers that others in the education
industry might prefer not to hear. This is not an academic book. It's essential reading for anyone
interested in education (and I hope that means all of us).
Certainly there is plenty of evidence that economic success and education go together: most poor
people (and nations) tend to be poorly educated, and most poorly educated people (and nations)
tend to be poor. But this doesn't mean that one causes the other. This is false logic, and is one of
several assumptions that Prof. Wells questions. To be fair, she is obviously not against education
in general. Her main conclusion is that getting more and more students onto university courses
(any course, at any university) produces not growth but unemployed graduates. She argues that we
should move money away from universities and put it into early-years education instead, to make
sure children all know the basic skills needed for life.
1- Prof. Wells's book isn't an academic book, it's …………….. for everyone.
3- Children in primary education stage must learn ………….. for their life.
3- According to Prof. Wells's view, we should move our money away from universities. ( )

Unit 3: Take care!
Read the text below. Then complete the following tasks:
Contents insurance is for accidental damage to things in your home like TVs and computers. If you
add up the cost of repairing or replacing all the technology we have nowadays, you may be surprised.
Taking out an insurance policy can be quite cheap and will give you peace of mind. You can usually
add items that you often take out of the house, like mobile phones, cameras and watches.
Personal accident insurance provides you with a tax-free monthly income if you are unable to work
due to accidental injury, usually for up to a year. This type of policy is a good choice if you are worried
that you wouldn‟t be able to manage if you lost your regular income because of injury. Choosing the
right insurance policy can take time but if you don‟t want to waste money it‟s important to compare
what‟s on offer. We make the process as easy as possible by listing the best policies from leading
insurance companies on one site.

Read the text below. Then complete the following tasks:
Safety first?
In 19th-century Europe, life was full of danger for both agricultural workers and those who worked
in the industrial factories with new machinery. Gradually, under pressure from workers‟
organizations , governments began to pass laws to improve conditions, and employers now have to
take responsibility for the safety of their employees.
In poorer countries, though, safety regulations are weak and the dangers remain. There is a feeling,
usually unspoken, among governments and employers in these countries that safety in the workplace
is a luxury that they can‟t afford, and that safety regulations make businesses less competitive and
brings less money. Meanwhile, in richer countries, health and safety regulations have been extended
into Other areas of life, like transport, schools, hospitals and other public services. In most countries,
for example, it is against the law to drive a car without wearing a seat belt. When this law was first
suggested, some people believed it should be a matter of personal choice, but it is now accepted that
wearing seatbelts has saved many lives.
Over the last 20 years or so, there has been a gradual change in attitude, partly because of regular
stories in the popular press about schoolchildren not being allowed to go on school trips or play
traditional games in the playground. Some of these stories were not actually true, but still the feeling
has grown that government regulation has gone too far, taking away people‟s responsibility for their
own safety. This may be one reason why there are still only two countries in the world where all
cyclists, by law, have to wear helmets. In other countries, governments don't want to restrict people‟s
personal freedom.
2- When the law of wearing the seatbelt first passed all people accepted it. ( )
1) There are many articles about the problem of electricity in the newspapers read by many people.

2) The rules in our school prevent students from bringing mobiles with them. (………………)

Unit 4: Going Places
Read the text below. Then complete the following tasks:
For many young people, being a tour guide seems to be the perfect job, almost like a paid
holiday with no expenses. In reality, of course, it can be tiring and stressful having to solve all the
problems that arise and deal with the constant demands of the people who have paid money for your
services. And it seems that tourists are becoming more demanding, partly due to the internet. They
already know a lot of the basic information that guides used to tell them. What they want is something
different and special. It‟s no longer enough to take them round the famous buildings, monuments and
tourist sites and tell them a few dates and interesting stories. In fact, tourists nowadays don‟t like to be
labelled as tourists at all. Today‟s well-informed „traveller‟ prefers culture, getting under the surface of
things, seeing something of the real life of the place they‟re visiting. This need has led to an increase in
the popularity of „step-on guides‟. These are people who live in the area and have local knowledge.
They take over the tour temporarily and provide the kind of information that the usual tour guide
can‟t offer. „It‟s a great way to meet people and give them an introduction to your town or city,‟ says
Moustafa, a step-on guide in Istanbul, Turkey. Being a successful step-on guide depends on getting to
know what travellers really want. This is something that Moustafa has picked up from experience: „I
treat my customers more like students than tourists. But I never lecture them. I don‟t want them just
to take in whatever I say. I think they‟d rather interact with places and people.
16
F) What do the underlined words refer to:
1. job :…………….…………………………
2. them: ………………………….………….
3. I : …………………………….…………..
As more and more people realize the negative impact that their holidays can have on the countries
they visit, the popularity of „eco-tourism‟ is increasing. The basic idea is that tour organizers and
travellers try to make sure that their activities help the environment and local communities rather than
harming them. There are many different ways of doing this, but all of them are likely to interest
people who prefer learning to sightseeing and would rather interact with local people and nature than
sit on a beach. Here, for example, are two of the best „eco-tours‟ we have found …
This is a chance to take part in research into whales while sailing around the north-west coast of Italy.
You will spend ten days living and sleeping on the boat as part of the crew, watching for whales and
keeping records of their movements and habits to get a clear picture of the impact of human activities.
You don‟t need previous sailing experience, though, as you will receive full basic training. The price is
between £1,100 and £1,800, including all meals and travel except the air fare to Genoa, where the boat
sails from.
Experience the unique excitement of desert life, travelling by horse or camel for a week, staying
overnight with local families in traditional village houses and sharing their evening meal. You carry all
other food and water with you as you travel. Local guides share their knowledge of desert plants and
animals and pass on tips about how people manage to live in such difficult conditions. This is a low
impact, low-cost tour. Prices start at only £900, including your flight to Tunis airport.
A) Answer the following questions:
1. What do the tour travellers try to do in their activities?
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
2. What do travellers do on the boat ?

Unit 5: Let's go for a walk
Read the text below, then complete the following tasks:
As a child, Nabil Hamed used to wander in the hills and valleys of Palestine with his father, a
shepherd. After taking a break to continue his education abroad, he returned to Palestine and
continued hiking, simply for the love of walking and nature. As time went by, he began to notice
irreversible changes: the beauty of this ancient land was being destroyed by the Israeli occupation,
sometimes rapidly, sometimes gradually. Olive trees and grapevines were pulled up, old stone buildings
and even whole villages were pulled down to make room for more and more settlements, their roads
and dividing walls.
The walks he describes in this book cover the hills of Ramallah, the wild countryside around Jerusalem
and the valleys near the Dead Sea, and each takes place at a different period of Palestinian history.
Today, many Palestinian natural treasures have become impossible to visit. Nabil Hamed, now in his
sixties, has written this book to preserve them, at least in words. It tells the story of how a pleasure so
many of us take for granted is being taken away: the freedom to wander through the countryside.
21
Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
Walking in the countryside (or 'rambling') was popular in 19th- century Britain. For people living in
towns and cities, walking was a way of escaping from a polluted environment and the stress of daily
life. Access to the countryside, however, was becoming more of a challenge due to an increase in the
ownership of large areas of land by a small number of people. A number of walking clubs and groups
were set up to protect walkers rights, and finally in 1935, they joined together to create the rambling, a
national organization aiming to improve access laws and expand the areas where people could walk
Thanks to our efforts, a new law was finally passed in 1949 called the National parks and Access to the
countryside act. This law set up the first National parks and Nature Reserves, as well as stating that
public footpaths in England and Wales had to be recorded on maps.
It was a big step forward as it meant that everyone would know where they were allowed to walk, even
if the path crossed someone's land. Many landowners, however, let grass grow over the footpaths so
that they were hard to find, so a lot of our efforts were put into walking on as many paths as possible
in order to keep them open
Our original aims remain the same, but we have continued to change with the times. In the 1990s, it
became clear to us that walking was becoming less popular, and that we need to encourage walking as
healthy exercise. Since then we have reached out to non-walkers to help them take up walking.

Unit1: The road to learning

E. Find words in the passage that have almost the same meaning:
Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow:
Bloom's Taxonomy shows six different levels of learning. It is called Bloom‟s Taxonomy
because it was made famous by a man called Benjamin Bloom (a „taxonomy‟ is a way to show how
things go together in order).The pyramid shape does not mean that one level is more important than
another, rather that they are built on each other. We have to remember an idea (or have knowledge
about it) before we can understand it. Example: Imagine we read a text about pollution. We first need
to know and remember the facts in the text before we can understand what pollution is. We have to
understand an idea before we can use it, or apply it, to our lives. Example: We need to understand
what pollution is to know that it will make our lives worse in the future. We have to be able to apply
the idea before we can look at all the parts to analyze it. Example: Once we understand that pollution
will make our lives more difficult, we can look at what causes it and what we can do to avoid it. We
have to analyze an idea before we can make decisions about it, or evaluate it. Example: When we know
what causes pollution we can consider the different ways to stop it. We have to be able to do all of
these with the idea before we can create something new with it. Example: Once we have fully
understood pollution, we can come up with a plan of our own to help with the problem. As you go up
the levels in the pyramid, you have to think more carefully and deeply. This is true of all learning, in
any subject, in any language.

Unit 2: Taking risks
Read the text below. Then complete the following tasks:
Skateboarding is perhaps the most popular of all adventure sports. There are at least 11 million
skateboarders worldwide (some say it is as many as 20 million). The majority are aged under 18.
1) What is skateboarding? It involves riding on a board with wheels doing tricks (jumping in the air,
sliding down stairs, etc). The most important trick is the „Ollie‟ because it is the one all the others are
built on .It is a jump in which the board sticks to the feet as the skateboarder flies through the air .
The most important requirement is a skateboard, but good trainers are also needed. There is a risk of
accidents so safety equipment is required. A helmet should be worn because any blow to the head is
dangerous. A fall at speed can cause injury so protection for the knees, elbows and wrists is needed.
Skateboarding started in the USA in the 1950s and became well known in the 1970s. It used to be
done in the street and in playgrounds, but in 1976 the first skate park was built. Skate parks have steep
slopes so the skateboarder can gain speed easily. They are the best place to start because there are
always other skaters to watch and learn from. The first skate parks opened in Palestine in 2014.
SkateJAM, an international sports organization, has opened a park in Gaza and the British group
SkatePAL has built one in Zababdeh. There are plans to open more skate parks in Ramallah and Nabi
Saleh.

Read the following passage then answer the question below:
Erin Langworthy, a 22-year-old Australian on holiday in Africa, got more of an adventure than she
wanted when she did a bungee jump off the 111-metre-high Victoria Falls Bridge. Bungee jumping is
an extreme sport that involves jumping off high buildings or bridges while attached to a large elastic
cord. The jumper dives almost to the bottom before the cord pulls them back up again … only not for
Erin! „Before my turn, 104 others had jumped safely,‟ she said. „All my friends had been down and
come back so I wasn‟t too worried.‟ The cord didn‟t last the 105th jump. It stopped her fall but then
broke, letting her drop the final 40 metres into the Zambezi River below, which is the home to man-
eating crocodiles! The river is fast moving and her legs were still tied to the cord so it was difficult for
her to swim. „It was quite scary because a couple of times the cord got caught on some rocks,‟ she
explained. „I had to swim down to pull the bungee cord free.‟ Eventually she reached some rocks at
the side and held on until she was rescued. She was in the water for 40 minutes. Later she was taken to
hospital in South Africa where she had to spend a week but made a full recovery. And she has a great
story to tell all her friends! The hospital treatment cost$50,000, but she was lucky because she had
travel insurance which paid for the treatment. In fact, she now helps the Australian government
encourage young tourists to buy travel insurance before they go abroad.

Unit 3: Tourism: mixed feelings
Read the text below. Then complete the following tasks:
One day it got too much – too much and too many. Too much routine, too much predictability, too much
boredom: too many responsibilities, too many duties, too many demands .I needed to escape from the life I
had made for myself. I told everyone I was going travelling. "Why?" they asked. I struggled to find an answer
they would understand. I had a good job, a comfortable home, a loving family and friends. I had it all. But it
wasn't what I wanted!
What did I want? To be rid of certainty- of always knowing what I would be doing, when and where. I wanted
to be out of my comfort zone .I wanted to be lost in another language, another culture, another life. I wanted
to be alone and scared, and then befriended by someone who I would remember for the rest of my life. I
wanted to be homeless, worried about where to lay my head at night and then be rescued by the kindness of
strangers. I wanted to be exhausted and then energized by some incredible sight: the Blue Mosque, the Grand
Canyon at sunrise, Ayers Rock at sunset, a rainbow over Victoria Falls .I wanted to travel in foreign lands.

The southern cape of Africa is, in many ways, a paradise. Rich green grasslands house wildlife, rocky
cliffs fall away to golden beaches washed by ocean waves, and the cool air is filled with birdsong. I
could relax and breathe freely again after all the excitement and exhaustion of my long trek through
the continent. But there is one serious drawback for the traveller here. It ends! We travel in
expectation of the next view, experience or encounter. We don‟t want to stop. But here, at the furthest
point, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet and there is no more land.
So there was no choice but to turn back towards home. And, to my surprise, I realised I was ready for
it. I missed my family and friends. Finally, I could welcome the comforting routines of home
