Soru 4 : Parents are a key source of support in helping their children learn a second language as they, like teachers, are in a strong position to motivate children to be enthusiastic about language learning. They can teach them to appreciate how languages can enhance their lives.  All parents have experience of teaching languages, as they taught their children their first language. Children need to feel confident in their use of other languages.  Parents are in a unique position to develop that confidence and inspire their children to experiment with languages and use the skills they acquire.  Many parents, because of their own interest in languages and with strong language skills themselves, may already be supporting their children in their language learning.  Whatever their expertise, parents can contribute to the sense of fun and motivation that is essential to learning a language.

Soru 7 : Much has been said and written about the declining numbers of and disappointing lack of  diversity among American college students majoring in engineering. Among the factors cited to explain this phenomenon are the lack of exposure of high school students to the very idea of engineering and the fact that many have insufficient mathematics and science background to gain entrance to engineering school, even if they do identify the profession as a possible career. This is unfortunate, for the ideas of engineering should be integrated into the curricula not only of high schools but also of middle and primary schools. Our children are being done a disservice by not being exposed properly throughout their education to engineering activities identified as such. After all, even pre-school children have the prerequisites in their play for appreciating exactly what engineering is: design. Indeed, design is everywhere around them throughout their school day, even in their before-school and after-school activities. it need only be pointed out to them that they are designing something, and therefore being engineers of sorts, in virtually everything that they do.
Cevap 7 : A

Soru 15 : Pop music, perhaps due to its increasing commercialisation, is often criticized for being entertaining while lacking serious musical value and artistic significance. This is typically attributed by critics to record companies' financial gains being placed above artistic considerations, by hand-picking the artists and songs that will have a broad appeal and maximum profits. Sometimes, in the case of the British pop group Hear'Say, for example,  young and fashionable people who have little or no prior knowledge of the music industry are transformed into a band that sells music and related merchandise to a preteen or teenage audience. A consequence of this increasingly common commercialisation is that genres which attain credibility as styles in their own right are often considered ‘independent’ instead of 'pop'. Those musicians, as well as their fans, sometimes strive to separate themselves from the commercial aspect of current pop music.

Soru 43 : One of the greatest natural catastrophes the world will ever see could be little more than a decade away. The film Super volcano traces the evolution of an enormous volcanic eruption - one that not only wipes out several states of America but that threatens the entire planet. But is such an eruption really possible? Well, super volcanoes certainly aren't fiction. They're a normal part of the way the Earth works and occur perhaps every 50,000 years. Every statistic associated with a super-eruption is always wildly over-exaggerated. Molten magma is blasted out at a rate 140 times greater than the flow of water over the Victoria Falls. Ash and gas are thrown more than 50km upwards to the edge of space before falling over one percent of the Earth's surface. Enough ash would pile up on the ground to bury Britain under a blanket 4m thick. Further, devastating winds carrying burning gas and red hot ash would scour the land surface over an area of 10,000 square kilometres. Worst of all, a super-eruption is followed by a dramatic fall in global temperatures, leading to years and years of bitter cold known as a volcanic winter.
