Questions 19-24: Read the passage below then pick out ONE best option (A. B, C or D): (1.5 points)
In my view, there is usually one necessary subject missing from most school timetables. Very
few students are taught how to organize their learning and how to make the best use of their time.
Let’s have some simple examples. Do you know how to look up English words in the dictionary?
And do you understand all the information the English dictionary contains? Can you take notes
quickly, and can you understand them afterwards?
For some reason, many schools give learners no help with these matters. Teachers ask students to
memorize pages from books, or tell them to write ten pages, or have them discuss in groups, but
do not explain how to do it. Learning by heart can be useful for many students, but it is important
to have a real understanding of a subject. You can waste a lot of time memorizing books, without
catching on to anything about the subject.
