Bài nghe:
I = Interviewer, E = Emma, M = Max, EL = Elizabeth
1. Emma
I What kind of school do you think is best for teenagers, Emma?
E I definitely think that single-sex schools are the best, because in the UK, students at single-sex schools usually get better exam results than students at mixed schools.
2. Max
I Max, does the type of school you attend help you get good results?
M I’m not sure I agree with that. It all depends on how hard you study. But schools need to be more about helping students to become good people. I feel that’s much more important than getting good results and obeying the rules about school uniform.
3. Elizabeth
I Elizabeth, do you agree that schools need to help students to become good people, rather than just help them to do well academically?
EL Yeah, I do and I think that’s a good point. Learning is much more than maths, history and geography, and doing your homework. Getting good results shouldn’t be the only thing people think about and if it is, people will cheat.
I So, what kind of school do you want?
EL Well, I think that many head teachers don’t really understand what young people today need. I like the idea of home schooling. And one of the advantages is that you don’t get distracted by noisy students.
Tạm dịch:
I = người phỏng vấn , E = Emma, M = Max, EL = Elizabeth
1. Emma
I Bạn nghĩ loại trường học nào là tốt nhất cho thanh thiếu niên, Emma?
E Tôi chắc chắn nghĩ rằng các trường đơn giới tính là tốt nhất, bởi vì ở Anh, học sinh ở các trường đơn giới tính thường đạt kết quả thi tốt hơn học sinh ở các trường hỗn hợp.
2. Max
I Max, loại trường bạn đang theo học có giúp bạn đạt được kết quả tốt không?
M Tôi không chắc mình đồng ý với điều đó. Tất cả phụ thuộc vào việc bạn học tập chăm chỉ như thế nào. Nhưng trường học cần quan tâm nhiều hơn đến việc giúp học sinh trở thành người tốt. Tôi cảm thấy điều đó quan trọng hơn nhiều so với việc đạt được kết quả tốt và tuân thủ các quy định về đồng phục học sinh.
3. Elizabeth
I Elizabeth, bạn có đồng ý rằng trường học cần giúp học sinh trở thành người tốt, thay vì chỉ giúp các em học giỏi?
EL Có, tôi biết và tôi nghĩ đó là một điểm tốt. Học tập không chỉ dừng lại ở môn toán, lịch sử, địa lý và làm bài tập về nhà. Đạt được kết quả tốt không phải là điều duy nhất mọi người nghĩ đến và nếu đúng như vậy, mọi người sẽ gian lận.
I Vậy, bạn muốn học loại trường nào?
EL À, tôi nghĩ rằng nhiều hiệu trưởng chưa thực sự hiểu giới trẻ ngày nay cần gì. Tôi thích ý tưởng dạy học tại nhà. Và một trong những lợi ích là bạn không bị phân tâm bởi những học sinh ồn ào khác.
