Question 3: (True or False)

Comprehension: 1 Use the information in the passages to answer the questions below.

Many experts say that single-sex schools are a good thing, especially for girls. They

point to studies that show that teachers tend to call on boys more and take the work of girls less seriously. "Too often, girls receive praise for how they look and how they behave rather than for What they accomplish and What ideas they have," says Whitney Ransome, executive director of the National Coalition of Girls Schools. All-girls schools can make girls more confident at crucial times of their lives,

says Ransome---- especially during the middle school and high school years.

Comprehension: 2

Comprehension: 3

Thirteen –year –old Maryam Zohne used to be shy. "I always used to try to sneak out of giving presentations in school," she says. In sixth grade, she never spoke up in class. Not anymore. Now in Eighth grade, she is the President of the student's body at her school. What made the difference? For the past two years, Maryam has gone to an all girls' public school. The Young Women's School of East Harlem, in New York City. "I feel more open," says Maryam. "The girls here are like sisters Nicole Flores, who goes to the same school, agrees. “You gain more confidence in this school," she says. "We have learnt how to speak in a strong, respectful way."

Maryam Zohne agrees. “This school isn’t for all girls,” she says. “It’s for girls who want

the confidence to move on in life. Some girls have the tools they need already.”

Whitney Ransome says that all girls schools work because, “When there are all girls in

the classroom, the culture changes. You’re not a second-class citizen because of your

gender. . . . You’re surrounded by people who look like you, think like you, and

empower you.” What Kind of School for You? Students at the Young Women’s

Leadership School think that they are learning plenty about leadership. “I’ve learned

to speak up for myself, voice my opinion, and not to be negative,” says Melique Birks,

thirteen.

Chris Dunn, a lawyer for the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is opposed to the idea of single sex public schools. The NYCLU fought against the opening of the Young Women's Schools Dunn says that the idea of separate but equal schools is unconstitutional. "If a person can go to a public school just because he is a boy" that's discrimination. When the government runs school, it needs to provide an excellent educational environment for all students. Would the NYCLU still object if the New York City opened a separate all boys' school with equal facilities? Yes, says Dunn. "If a school district has four hundred buses and they won't let white students on ten of them, that's still discrimination," he says.

Be sure to direct the audience's attention to the attic by pointing to the ceiling and looking up

at it. Call out loudly and distinctly in your natural voice. Ask some questions, as though you know

there is a person up there.

Then, as you speak, exhale in little jerks, using a bit of air for each word. This action will

produce a sound that is subdued and muffled, just a little louder than a whisper.

You can make this distant voice appear to come gradually nearer, too. To do this, call loudly in

your natural voice and say, "come down here" at the same time, gesture downward with your hand

to increase the illusion. Have the voice answer, “I’m coming” or I’m getting closer now, “being sure to

speak a little louder as the imaginary person approaches.
