eleven-year-old children for twenty-five hours a

week. It was an English-medium school: the

teachers taught all the subjects 4 English so

first-year students needed 5 it quickly. They

didn’t know any English and my aunt didn’t speak

Turkish 6 it wasn’t easy. Aunt Jane always

remembers 7 home thirty-three homework

Summerhill is a small boarding school in the east of

England. It has educated students from all over the

world since 1923. The founder of Summerhill, A. S.

Neill, believed in democratic or ‘free’ education. By

this, he meant that children should have the freedom

to make decisions for themselves. Summerhill

students Takeshi and Margit agree.

Takeshi: ‘I’m sixteen and I’m from Japan. I’ve been

at Summerhill since I was nine. It’s so

different from Japanese schools, where

school rules are very strict. Here students and

teachers have meetings every week, and we

talk about rules that we agree or don’t agree

with. Every student of whatever age can say

what he or she thinks, and then vote to decide

what to do. It’s fantastic.’

Margit: ‘I’m twelve and I’m from Germany. I’ve

been here for five years and I know that some

people think we never go to lessons, but it

isn’t true. We study all the ‘normal’ school

subjects from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock every

day. We don’t have to go to classes if we

don’t want to, but most students go because

they like learning new things. I love science

and languages, and I never miss a physics or

Chinese lesson.’ Nowadays education seems to be about doing more

tests so many people are looking for more

motivating ways of learning. Might Summerhill

have the answer?

1 Summerhill has been open for over b years.

a) 150 b) 80 c) 100

2 A. S. Neill thought that should be free to

decide what they want to do.

a) teachers b) students c) parents

3 At Summerhill, students give their opinion

about what happens in the school.

a) have to b) can’t c) can

4 Most students go to classes even if they

don’t have to.

a) always b) rarely c) never

5 Margit always science classes.

a) misses b) going to c) goes to

6 Many people think schoolwork be more

motivating than it is now.

a) doesn’t have to b) should c) shouldn’t
