Like Azerbaijan, India and Morocco, Turkey is famous for making carpets. Etrim, a small village near
Bodrum has a rich tradition of carpet weaving. This craft has been passed down through generations

intricate patterns. Interestingly, they do not use a fixed pattern. Instead, they rely on their memory,
making each carpet unique. The carpets are then trimmed and cleaned, ready to be sold. Each carpet
takes about two months to complete. Despite the time and effort involved, the weavers have
maintained the weaving traditions, and they take great pride in their work.

Mr Nam, grandfather, a 70-year-old farmer
I was one of the few children in my village who was still at school at the age of 15. Every day, I got
up early and walked to school. Learning then depended mostly on our teachers and textbooks. We
had no library or lab. The nearest bookshop was six kilometres away. I learned simply by taking notes
during class, memorising them, and doing the homework. Life then was simple. We rarely travelled
outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.
Mai, granddaughter, a 15-year-old student
Learning today is very different from my grandfathers time. It is easier and more convenient. Besides
learning from teachers and textbooks, we use the Internet. It provides us with various online sources
such as documents, clips, and programmes. Google helps us find the answers to almost any questions
we have. The Internet also allows us to pursue our own interests. Learning has become more
independent. Although most children in my village have fewer private learning facilities than the
students in the city, we are still luckier than my grandfather's generation. We have TVs to watch at
home and a library and computers at school.
Question 31. In Mr Nam’s time, __________.
lOMoARcPSD| 40342981
A. teachers played an important role
B. bookshops did not exist
C. students had to wake up early and go to school on foot
D. all children stayed on at school until they were 15
Question 32. Few people travelled outside their village, so __________.
A. life in the village was simple
B. his school lacked learning facilities
C. the villagers had limited knowledge about the world
D. none of the villagers knew about city life
Question 33. Modern learning __________.
A. does not require textbooks
B. makes use of online programmes
C. relies only on the Internet
D. does not require students to take notes
Question 34. The word ‘It’ refers to __________.
A. today’s learning
B. Mai’s grandfathers time
C. Google
D. the Internet
Question 35. The word ‘we’ refers to __________.
A. learning facilities
B. students in Mr. Nam’s generation

Read the following passage and choose the correct answers A, B, C, or D.
Mr Nam, grandfather, a 70-year-old farmer
I was one of the few children in my village who was still at school at the age of 15. Every day, I got
up early and walked to school. Learning then depended mostly on our teachers and textbooks. We
had no library or lab. The nearest bookshop was six kilometres away. I learned simply by taking notes
during class, memorising them, and doing the homework. Life then was simple. We rarely travelled
outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.
Mai, granddaughter, a 15-year-old student
Learning today is very different from my grandfather’s time. It is easier and more convenient. Besides
learning from teachers and textbooks, we use the Internet. It provides us with various online sources
such as documents, clips, and programmes. Google helps us find the answers to almost any questions
we have. The Internet also allows us to pursue our own interests. Learning has become more
independent. Although most children in my village have fewer private learning facilities than the
students in the city, we are still luckier than my grandfather's generation. We have TVs to watch at
home and a library and computers at school.
