Reading Part 4 - Quyển 3

Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and reading of music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

Atlantic College
Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives young people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help.
'I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people" as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. "You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister'.
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.

When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to introduce more women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them confidence to get out and run.
I decided to star a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude of many organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities.
I put up poster and 40 women , young and old fit or unfit joined. All of these were attracted by the ideas of losing weight but I don't think they had really thought about running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn't think of chatting and smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river.
At first they ran for only a minute - now they can run for thirty minutes. They've also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general.
I wanted to do something for women's running and I've had so much pleasure watching their progress -almost as much as they've had themselves.

To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18th birthday. I’d booked the table for eight o’clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a problem. The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter informed us that there was no more fish pie. He apologised and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends – a salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we’d finished, we decided to order some desserts. The waiter said that, unfortunately, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was reserved by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very disappointed. It spoilt my birthday. Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a time limit. It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that we’ll go to your restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary

I didn’t like my salad. I wish I’d had fish pie like you. | Never mind, let’s go and get some ice cream at Rick’s |
I hope you didn’t leave the waiter a tip – he was so unfriendly. | It’s a pity there wasn’t enough birthday cake. |
