I – READING (8 Marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
A.
The first teachers we have in our lives, in most cases, are our parents. They teach us to walk,
to speak, and to have good manners before we reach "the realistic (practical) world”.
B.
Almost for sure our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives, which
actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature. Parents are generally the most involved in the
development and education of children. They have a kind of instinct to sacrifice for the betterment
of their children. They have great patience while passing down their knowledge to us, and of
course, implicit (unspoken) learning occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their
parents' habits and styles of behavior.
C.
During the second stage of child development - adolescence, parents can still be in the best
position to offer advice even though the children might not accept it. In such matters, parents should
be much more stretchy - in other words, flexible and be partners with their children.
D.
On the other hand, one could say that parents may not be professional teachers and they
tend to be very biased by their love for their children. In some cases, parents usually present only
one viewpoint of the world, while good teaching should be based on different attitudes. Thus, when
children go to school and have a great diversity of teachers, they learn much more than their parents
could possibly teach them.
E.
In conclusion, parents may not be the ideal teacher because well-rounded children generally
need a great diversity (variety) of teachers in their lives in order to have a more accurate view of the
world. Generally, parents are the most committed of all teachers and have the greatest emotional
investment in their children and their future.
A. Answer the following questions:
(2x1=2 marks)
1. What are the two things our parents teach us before we reach the realistic world?
