It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as education Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no bounds.

It can take place where, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning The agents of education can range from a reserved grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produce surprise A change conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is know of other religions

People are engaged in education from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should

be an integral part of one’s entire life Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive

at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbook, do homework, take exams, and so on The slices of reality that are to be learnt, whether

they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited

by the boundaries of the subject being taught For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their class the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

Question 56: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their

C Summer school makes the school year too long

D All of life is an education

II Topic: What would you like to change about your hometown?

If I could change one important thing about my hometown, it would be air pollution problem, and I will give the following reasons to explain why I want to solve the problem.

The first and most important reason is that I hope that my hometown can become a beautiful city As

an old industrial city, my hometown has made a great deal of contribution for the country’s economic development At a result, the natural environment of the city has been badly damaged The forest has disappeared; the mountains have become bald, and the most awful thing is that the air quality becomes worse and worse People seldom see the blue sky during most time of year.

Another reason why I want to change my hometown’s air pollution situation is that the city’s development needs clean and tidy environment to attract investors Nowadays people have come to know that the city’s environment, which is so called “software facility of the city”, plays an important role in the city’s future For example, due to the fact that the environment of the city is very poor, many local students who pursue their study out of the city would rather find themselves a job in other cities than coming back to their hometown after they graduated

In addition, nowadays people have paid more and more attention to their health If air pollution problem cannot be solved as quickly as possible, people’s requirement for a healthy body will never be realized.

In my mind, changing air pollution will apparently be my first choice if I can change one important thing about my hometown Fortunately people in my hometown are gradually aware of the serious problem.
