VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question:
In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time
forms and relationships with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world
opens up and frequently it is much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in
the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free
and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the
secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the
pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with
specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form
relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good
schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal
help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests
for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great
deal of movement, a great number of people- often rather frightening- looking people- and
realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses
through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will
increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first stepts to obtain the help he
needs, for this is the pattern of adult of life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the
opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy
to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question:
In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time
forms and relationships with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world
opens up and frequently it is much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in
the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free
and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the
secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the
pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with
specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form
relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good
schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal
help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests
for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great
deal of movement, a great number of people- often rather frightening- looking people- and
realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses
through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will
increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first stepts to obtain the help he
needs, for this is the pattern of adult of life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the
opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy
to understand and within easy reach of pupils.
