In the United
Stated, many young people who are still at school try to earn money in their
free time. And there are lots of jobs for them, too. Terry, one of Jolene’s
friends, works in a supermarket. If he works a lot of hours, he can earn $100 a
week. He has already saved a thousand dollars. When he is at school, he dreams
about what he is going to buy with the money that he has saved. Marc sometimes
sells ice cream on the beach if they have really good weather. Pam’s father is
a doctor at a local hospital. Pam works in the kitchens there for about ten
hours a week, for $7 an hour. Bryan has a great job. He works in the tourist center. If tourists need
information, and Bryan answers their questions, for example, where they can buy Mexican
food, how they can get to the Golden Gate Bridge, or
when the bus leaves for the tour to the Death
Valley. Some of Jolene’s friends do
babysitting. They don’t get much money an hour, but it isn’t hard work, and if
they’re lucky, they can watch TV all the time.
&&& In some countries, there are
children who are educated by their parents at home instead of by teachers at
school. Do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea? Think of two advantages
disadvantages .
Read the passage
and answer the questions.
&&& All children in the United States have to receive an education, but the law does not say they have to
be educated at school. A number of parents prefer
not to send their children to
school. Children who are educated at home are known as “home-schoolers.” There
are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because
they do not believe that public schools teach the corr
others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their
children by teaching them at home. Interestingly, results show that
home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in
reading and math.
Home schooling is often more interesting than
regular schools, but critics say that home schoolers are outsiders who might be
uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. Critics also say that
most parents are not well qualified to teach their children. However, most parents
don’t have the time or the desire to teach their children at home, so schools
will continue to be where most children get their formal education.
1. How many children in the United States learn at home?
_______________________________________________
2. Why do some parents prefer to teach their own children?&

3. What are two criticisms
of home schooling?
_______________________________________________
&&& Life is different on the
weekend. Most Americans take care of their house, car or garden. They get up
late in the morning. They enjoy the feeling that the time seems to move more
slowly. The week is for things you have to do while the weekend is for things
you want to do. Some people may get in a car and go for a drive in the country.
They like to take part in a sports activity outdoors. And on Saturday night
they might go to a public eating place or a movie.
&&& Anything and everything can
happen on Saturday night. People go dancing, visiting friends and having
parties. They drink, sleep or watch television. People do these things on other
nights of the week, too, but they do them more often and with more emotion
and purpose
on Saturday night.
&&& Many people spend Saturday
night at home with friends. They have dinner together. Perhaps they watch a
movie on a video recorder. Other people go on a date. People on date might go
to a public concert, or they only talk to each other.
&&& Is there anything people do
not like about the weekend? The only thing wrong with the weekend, people
think, is that it does not last longer.
