ATLANTIC COLLEGE
Last week, I went to visit Atlanic College, an excellent private college in Wales.
Unusually, it gives yuong people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as
well as the oppportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18
and come from all over the world, spend the morning studing. In the afternoon they go out and do
a really useful activity, such as helping oin the farm, looking after people wit learning difficulties
or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlanic College students is that they come from many
different social backgrounds and counties. As few can afford the fees of $20,000 over two years,
grants are available. A quarter of the students are British, and many of those can only attend
because they receive govermment help.
“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among
young people”, as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn to live
with people and respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays my

mother cuoldn’t believe how much less I argued with my sister.”
To sum up, Atlanic College gives its students anexcellent education, using methods which
really seem to work.
1. What is writer trying to do in the text?
A. give an opinion about a particular student
B. give an opinion about a special type of education
C. describe the activities the students do in their free time
D. describe his own experience of education
2. What can a reader find out from this text?
A. how to become a student at Atlantic College
B. what kind of programmer Atlantic College offers
C. what the British education system is like
D. how to get along better with other people
3. What is the writer’s opinion of Atlantic College?
A. It doesn’t allow students enough study time
