Question

[Lê Quỳnh Anh]

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an 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 anywhere, 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 revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education in infancy. 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 textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes 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.

The passage support which of the following conclusions?

A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant

B. Education systems need to be radically reformed

C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated

D. Education involves many years of professional training

Đáp án C

Đoạn văn củng cố kết luận nào sau đây?

A. Nếu không có giáo dục chính quy, con người ta sẽ mãi thất học, ngu dốt.

B. Hệ thống giáo dục cần được cải cách triệt để hoàn toàn.

C. Việc tới trường chỉ là 1 phần trong cách làm thế nào để con người trở nên có giáo dục.

D. Giáo dục bao gồm nhiều năm đào tạo chuyên môn.

Từ những giải thích ở câu 44, có thể suy ra được đáp án ở câu này là C. Ngoài ra, khi nói về Education ở đoạn 2, tác giả cho rằng: “It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning” – (Giáo dục là bao gồm cả việc học chính quy trên trường và việc học cả thế giới rộng lớn bên ngoài mà không theo hình thức chính quy nào).
