Drama
1-Write short notes on Larry’s tree.
All My sons - Act 1
It was a tree that had been planted in remembrance of Larry who would have been twentyseven this month and who has been reported missing in the war on November 25th.
2- What was Frank working on? Why?
Frank was working on a horoscope for Larry, according to Kate’s demand to do so. He
wanted to prove that November 25th was Larry’s favourable day. (A favourable day for a
person is a fortunate day, according to his stars). If he proved so, it would be practically
impossible for Larry to have died on his favourable day.
3-Why was Kate convinced that Larry hadn’t died?
She was convinced that Larry hadn’t died because Frank told her that November 25th was
Larry’s favourable day. She also used to read in the newspaper everyday that there were
people who were reported missed and came back after more than three years; Kate was
convinced that Ann hadn’t got married until now because she also was convinced that Larry
hadn’t died.
4-Write short notes on Steve Deever.
Steve Deever is Keller’s partner in work and both the Deevers and Kellers are neighbours.
Steve has been imprisoned for selling cracked cylinder heads to the U.S.A. army, which
caused the death of 21 pilots in the war.
5-Why wasn’t it easy for Chris to marry Ann?
The problem was how to tell his mother who couldn’t believe Larry’s death and who would
consider them betraying Larry if they got married.
6- Why did Ann come to Keller’s house?
She came back after three years as she was invited by Chris who has been sending her
letters all this period. He has loved her so much that she could feel that through letters and
fell in love with him.
7-What terrible mistake made by Joe and Chris?
They have actually made a terrible mistake with Kate when they didn’t tell her the truth
that Larry was dead not missing as she thought.
8-What bad omens about Larry do we have in this act?
Kate had a dream about Larry in which he was flying over the house as usual and his face
was so clear and near that she thought to catch him. He was crying to her “Mom….Mom”
that she could hear him like he was in the room. Kate connected between this dream, the
destruction of the tree and Ann’s arrival. Then, she found Larry’s baseball gloves which she
hadn’t seen since Larry had been reported missing.
9-What was Ann’s reply when Keller offered her father a Job?
Ann thanked him for being generous with her father but she told him that she hadn’t
visited Steve for a long time and that she didn’t know anything about him.
26
Prep 3 S – 1st term
10- Ann considered her father criminal, but Keller considered him just a fool.” Explain.
Ann considered her father responsible for the death of her boyfriend, Larry and the twentyone pilots; Keller tried to comfort Ann by telling her that Larry has never flown a P40. Keller
explained to Ann and Chris the story of the cracked cylinder heads during the war. He also
told them that Steve meant no harm, of course because he believed that the mechanics in
the army would find out about the cracked heads and send them back to the shop. When
Chris agreed with Ann considering Steve a murderer, Keller told him that the man was
weak, but he shouldn’t make a murderer out of him.
11-Write short notes on Joe Keller.
Joe is a self-made business man of about sixty years of age. When he speaks, you know that
he is uneducated. He is a likeable person, a loving father and a good husband. Family is
everything to him and that’s why he doesn’t feel guilty as he has made everything for sake
of his family. He has committed a terrible crime, but he doesn’t regret it as he doesn’t
believe that he has done wrong.
12-- Explain how Keller faced the people after the trial. What was the result? What does
this show about Joe Keller’s character?
Keller tells Ann how he faced all the neighbours when he was acquitted. He came out of his
car and walked slowly down the street with a smile on his face. In their eyes he was a beast!
He was the person who sold cracked cylinder heads of the P40 to the U.S.A. Air Force; the
person who made twenty-one P-40 planes crash in Australia, causing twenty-one young
pilots to die. Walking down the street they thought him guilty, but he wasn’t, and he had a
paper from court declaring him innocent. Fourteen months later he had one of the best
shops in the state and became a respected man again, bigger than ever. He could not be
responsible and could not face himself with truth. He seemed to be unconscious of his guilt.
13-Describe the relationship between Ann and Chris.
Ann was Chris and Larry’s next door neighbor and were brought up together. She was
Larry’s girlfriend before he went to the war. Chris has been thinking of a wife for three
years since his brother was considered missing. He felt that the only suitable lady to be his
wife was Ann. He invited her to their house to propose marriage to her although he knew
that his mother would not agree as Ann was Larry’s girl and she didn’t believe that Larry
was dead. Ann expected that Chris would propose marriage to her and that’s why she came
to their house.
14-Who is Dr. Jim? What do you know about him?
Dr. Jim is the Kellers’ neighbor. He is a doctor but he doesn’t like to work as a doctor to cure
patients. He likes to work in medical research to help the society. Although he doesn’t like
to work as a doctor, he works only to please his wife who is materialistic and wants him to
get a lot of money.
27
Prep 3 S – 1st term
15-How did Frank help Kate to believe that Larry was still alive?
Frank helped Kate to believe that Larry was still alive as he was working on Larry’s
horoscope trying to prove that the 25th of November, the day on which Larry was
considered missing, was a favourable day for him. If he was able to prove that, then Larry
couldn’t have died but he was missing somewhere because Larry couldn’t have died on his
favourable day.
16-How did Chris want his father to help him in his marriage?
Chris loved Ann and had invited her to their house to propose marriage to her although he
knew that his mother would not agree as Ann was Larry’ girlfriend. Chris told Joe that they
were mistaken to leave Kate to believe that Larry was not dead as she was still waiting for
him. He asked his father to help him to convince Kate that Larry was dead and that Chris
could marry Ann. Although Joe didn’t like to face Kate with this but he agreed to help Chris
as Chris told him if he didn’t help him, he would marry Ann and go to live with her
anywhere.
17-Do you think Joe Keller was a bad person? Why?
Joe Keller was not a bad man as he did what he did thinking that they would discover those
faulty cylinder heads before fixing them in and he would have time to replace them with
good ones. He did that for the sake of his family and he didn’t mean to cause any harm.
18- “We’ve made a terrible mistake with mother”
What was the problem from Chris’ point of view? And what was its solution? Did Joe agree
with Chris?
From Chris’ point of view they were mistaken when they left Kate to believe that Larry was
dead and that they should tell her the truth. Joe told Chris that they could not face Kate. To
Joe and Chris Larry has died but to Kate he was not dead because there was no evidence
that he has died; there was neither body nor grave ,so she could not believe that Larry was
dead.
19- Give an account of Kate’s dream.
She dreamed of Larry flying his plane, his face was so clear and real that she could touch
him. He cried to her. Mom ……….. Mom and then she woke up at the noise of the wind
blowing down Larry’s tree.
20- What was Chris ashamed of?
During the war he was the head of a group of soldiers, all were brave men. They sacrificed
themselves for each other. He felt ashamed to be the only survivor among them. He was
the one who taught them idealism and how to sacrifice and still he is the only one living
now. He couldn’t stand the idea of living happily with a family of his own.
28
Prep 3 S – 1st term
21- Why was Keller so keen on defending Steve Deever?
He said that one ought to forget and forgive as Steve meant no harm; of course because he
believed that the mechanics in the army would find out about the cracked heads and send
them back to the shop. Keller was so keen on defending Steve Deever because considering
Steve guilty meant considering Keller guilty too.
22-”The man was a fool, but don’t make a murderer out of him..”
Joe Keller said that to Chris when Chris declared his belief about Steve as a murderer; the
one who killed 21 pilots. Joe tried hard to defend Steve and justify his crime saying that
Steve was a fool and had a weak character. He was always scared of loud voices. During the
war, the major was whipping them over the telephone every half an hour asking for
cylinder heads, and all of a sudden, that day’s production of cylinder heads was cracked – a
fine hair line crack. Steve also was afraid of Joe Keller as if he got rid of those cracked
cylinder heads, it would be a great loss to the business. Moreover, Keller said that Steve
was sure 100% that the planes would hold up. He covered the cracks himself and sent
them, but he meant no harm.
Joe was trying to correct Chris’s idea about Steve least in the future he might be discovered
to be the real criminal, so Chris would take him as a fool, not a murderer. It’s considered a
sort of self-defence.
23-”Alright Joe,… just be smart.”
Kate said these words to Joe Keller as closing lines to act one. Kate was drawing Joe’s
attention to the danger that might take place because of George’s return. Joe was evading
her warning against George, though she mentioned some strong reasons why they should
fear him. George had kept believing that Joe was guilty all through the trial, and now he’s a
lawyer and can handle matters more efficiently, moreover; all of a sudden he visits his
father in jail after three years and takes an airplane to go to Columbus, then decides
directly to go back to the Kellers. They suspected that he should have discovered something
important about the case, Kate was afraid that George might open the old case again. She
told Joe to act smartly with George, the matter which reflects their certain feeling of guilt.
24-Why does mother have to fear George?
George turned up to visit his father in Columbus – the jail- after the three years. He’s
coming back to the Kellers in an airplane, so Kate got worried because Steve had always
been saying that Joe was responsible for the crime, and George believed his father all
during the trial, but disowned his father after he was convicted and put to jail. Now all of a
sudden George visits his father in jail, and comes back so hurriedly to the Kellers; moreover,
George is now a lawyer and has his own office and can handle matters more efficiently.
Kate fears opening the old case once more.
29
Prep 3 S – 1st term
25-How did Joe Keller react after he was acquitted? What did he advise Ann to do?
He advised Ann to face people as he did before and everything would be alright, because
the Deevers gave people the chance to keep talking about her father’s crime by leaving to
New York. On the day of the trial, all the people thought that Joe Keller was a criminal, the
beast who caused 21 P40s to crash in Australia. He was guilty as hell according to them that
day, but he faced them all courageously with the court paper which announced his
innocence. He kept settling in the town and faced them all. The result was that they
stopped talking and Keller had a bigger factory than before, and he became a respected
man again, bigger than ever.
26- How is the title of Arthur Miller's play, All My Sons, justified?
The title is justified by the line that Joe Keller has late in the play: “I think to him they were
all my sons. And I guess they were, I guess they were.” What Joe is referring to is the fact
that he should not have only been thinking of his biological sons when making the decision
about the faulty parts. He should have been thinking of any airman as his son - that they are
all his sons. His moral responsibility extends beyond his immediate family.
Arthur Miller uses this family tragedy to make a clear statement about war - about the
economics of war and the decisions made during wartime that were unethical and
inhumane.
27- Why did the author use Keller’s second name as a reference in all stage directions?
I think the second name (( Keller)) was used by Miller as it is similar to the pronunciation of
the word ((killer)) and he was a killer as he was the main cause of the death of the 21 pilots
and his son .
28- What is Kate's attitude about her missing son in All My Sons?
If you look at Act One carefully, it becomes very obvious that Kate is a woman who is
unable to move on from the disappearance of her son, Larry. She is presented as a
character who is unable to contemplate the possibility of her son's death, and thus she
clings on to the vain hope that he is not "missing in action" but will find his way back home
eventually and re-enter their lives. Notice how she says to both Joe Keller and Chris that she
wants them to "act like he's coming back":
Because if he's not coming back, then I'll kill myself!
Of course, as the play progresses , we realise that Kate is so fixated on believing in Larry's
safe return because if she accepts he is dead, then she has to accept that her husband was
responsible for the deaths of the soldiers because of the faulty parts his factory provided.
29-What does the blown down apple tree symbolize?
Larry’s tree was a tree that had been planted in remembrance of Larry, who would have
been twenty-seven this month and who has been reported missing in the war on November
25th. The blown down tree symbolizes Larry on stage, though he never appears. The
snapping of the tree reflects a disaster.

30-“Well, that’s what a war does…” Comment page 9
Joe Keller said that to Lydia while they were talking about the fact that Ann hasn’t got
married yet though Lydia is married and had three kids. Keller replies that this was what the
war did to them, as he had lost one son in the war, Larry who was reported missing, who
was supposed to marry Ann.
31-How did Chris threaten Keller? Why?
Chris threatened his father that if he didn’t agree upon his marriage to Ann, he would leave
home, marry Ann and live somewhere else. He asked his father to help him convince his
mother to bless the marriage.
32-What game does Keller play with the children of the neighbourhood?
Bert, a young boy comes to Mr. Keller. He is a neighbour whom Mr. Keller jokingly
appointed as a policeman to keep his eyes open on the neighbourhood. He comes with
some news for Keller. He takes the matter seriously and thinks himself a secret policeman.
33-Give an account of Kate’s dream. What does it reflect?
Mother tells them about a dream she has seen. She dreamed of Larry flying his plane, his
face was so clear and real that she could touch him. He cried to her. Mom……….. Mom and
then she woke up at the noise of the wind blowing down Larry’s tree. This dream reflects
her occupied mind about Larry. It also reflects,
according to Kate, that Larry might be in danger, and the idea is reinforced by the snapping
of his tree, and being in danger shatters away the belief that he had been dead, which has
long been thought by Joe and Chris.
34-Explain how Keller faced the people after the trial? What was the result? What does
this show about Joe’s character?
He advised Ann to face people as he did before and everything would be alright, because
the Deevers gave people the chance to keep talking about her father’s crime by leaving to
New York. On the day of the trial, all the people thought that Joe Keller was a criminal, the
beast who caused 21 P40s to crash in Australia. He was guilty as hell according to them that

innocence. He kept settling in the town and faced them all. The result was that they
stopped talking and Keller had a bigger factory than before, and he became a respected

35-“I‘ve been a good son too long, a good sucker. I am through with it.”
Chris said these words to Joe when they were discussing his marriage. Chris told Joe that he
should help him to tell Kate that Larry was dead and he would not return so he could marry
his girlfriend. When Joe told him it was impossible Chris told him that he would marry Ann
and leave his parents and live away as he had been a good son too long. Joe promised to
help him so that he won’t go away and leave his father’s job which Joe has done everything
to keep for his sons.

36-How did Joe defend Steve? What do those justifications reflect?
Joe asked Chris not to make a murderer out of Steve, but he should take it human. He said
that Steve was a fool but not a murderer. He had a weak character. He was scared of loud
voices. The major was whipping him over the telephone asking for cylinder heads, and all of
a sudden half day’s production of cylinder heads was cracked; a fine hair-line crack. Steve
was afraid of both Joe and the Major. Moreover; he was sure a hundred percent that the
planes would hold up. He meant no harm. He didn’t know that he would cause that
disaster.
Keller’s justifications of Steve’s innocence shows how worried he is about the reality of the
crime. It’s in a sense shows clear self-defense of Joe Keller himself, least when the reality of
the crime is uncovered, Chris wouldn’t take his father as a murderer, but would rather take
it as a human weakness or flaw.
37- “She knows what I know…..”
Kate said these words to Keller in the back yard of the Keller’s garden when Keller supposed
that Ann might not be waiting for Larry. Keller was trying to help Chris marry Ann, the idea
which would never be accepted by Kate. Kate says that Ann knows that Larry is coming back
and she’s waiting for him like herself, then Kate said that Ann was a faithful girl and she was
like a rock that never changes. That shows how Kate is unrealistic.
38 “There’s no jail here. I want you to stop this jail business… .”
Kate said these words to Joe Keller in the backyard of the Keller’s garden when Joe was
practising the jail game with Bert. Kate was furious to find Joe playing such a suspicious
game with kids. She hated to hear the word “jail” which Joe Keller was involved in. Her
sudden anger about that game reflects her worry about jail, the matter which lets us be
suspicious about Joe and Kate; moreover, it reflects their feeling of guilt and fear to be
uncovered. That’s why she asked Joe to stop the whole jail game and told Bert that there
was no jail in their house.
39 “I didn’t want to take any of it. And I guess it included you.”
Chris said that to Ann in the backyard of the Keller’s garden when he was telling his
experience in war and expressing his feelings towards his father’s money. Chris thinks that
his father’s money is “loot” ; it has blood on it because it was gained during the war. Chris
felt ashamed of his father’s money and didn’t want to take any of it. This highlights Chris’s
idealistic Character, as he really differentiates between people who sacrifice in war and
those who are only doing business, even if it was his father. He feels the same way about
him and his money.
Joe was trying to correct Chris’s idea about Steve least in the future he might be discovered
to be the real criminal, so Chris would take him as a fool, not a murderer. It’s considered a
sort of self-defence.

40- “Alright Joe,… just be smart.” comment
Kate said these words to Joe Keller as closing lines to act one. Kate was drawing Joe’s
attention to the danger that might take place because of George’s return. Joe was evading
her warning against George, though she mentioned some strong reasons why they should
fear him. George had kept believing that Joe was guilty all through the trial, and now he’s a
lawyer and can handle matters more efficiently, moreover; all of a sudden he visits his
father in jail after three years and takes an airplane to go to Columbus, then decides
directly to go back to the Kellers. They suspected that he should have discovered something
important about the case, Kate was afraid that George might open the old case again. She
told Joe to act smartly with George, the matter which reflects their certain feeling of guilt.
41-“The whole neighborhood is depending on you. A policeman doesn’t ask questions.”
Comment.
Joe said these words to Bert (a boy who thought that Joe was a policeman). Joe asked Bert
to investigate the neighbourhood and tell him all the news so he would be a good
investigator. Joe did that because he enjoyed knowing other people’s news. At the end of
their conversation Joe told Bert to go and get him all the news and not to ask any question
as a policeman doesn’t ask any questions.
42-“To you it is, and to me. But not to her. You can talk yourself blue in the face, but
there is no body and there is no grave, so where are you? “
Joe said these words to Chris when they were talking about Chris’ marriage to Ann. Chris
told Joe that they were mistaken when they left Kate to believe that Larry was dead and
that they should have told her the truth. Joe told Chris that they could not face Kate. To Joe
and Chris Larry has died but to Kate he was not dead because there was no evidence that
he has died; there was no body and no grave, so she could not believe that Larry was dead.
43-What is the dramatic effect of closing lines of Act 1?
Act one closes with Keller and Kate brainstormed. Kate is very suspicious as to why George
is hurrying to his father in Columbus. She draws Keller’s attention to the decisive danger
that might take place, but Keller evades her questions and shows ignorance. It’s clear to us
now that Kate knows something different about the case. It has long been a secret, but
once George is crabbing for it, they should take certain precautions. Keller’s defence of
Steve and Kate’s fears of George’s coming give us a strong belief that Keller has a secret,
which will prove him guilty if revealed.

Poetry
Rainbow
My heart leaps when I behold
A rainbow in the sky.
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I grow old,
Or let me die!
The child is father of the man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth is an English romantic poet.
He is called the poet of Man and Nature. He was educated at a grammar school in the
country where he loved nature. He was so filled with the love of nature that he wrote his
poems in a simple way to be easy for all people. As a romantic poet, he believes that nature
represents God.
paraphrase
• In the first two lines, the poet expresses his happiness when he sees a rainbow in the
sky. This is to show his love for nature.
• In lines (3,4,5,6), the poet talks about himself and Nature. He says that our love for
Nature (the rainbow) is born with us and it grows with us as we grow older. He
compares Nature to Man’s life. The poet is mortal and Nature is immortal.
34
Prep 3 S – 1st term
Nature is everlasting and unchangeable.
The child is father of the Man
• In this line the poet sums up his philosophy. The child gains his love for nature first.
This love continues when he grows up and become a man. So the experience of the
child comes before the experience of the man. So the child can be the teacher (the
father) of the man.
• In the last two lines, the poet sums up his love for nature. He wishes to spend all his
days in peace and harmony with the beauty of nature and to show love and respect
for God.
Figures of speech

1. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
During a recent car trip, I pulled into a rest area and was approached by a dirty man
who asked for money to get petrol for his car. I rejected his appeal rationalizing that to
give money to beggars would be to encourage a practice already on a disturbing rise in
our country.
Later, I had a change of heart, I handed the man ten pounds and wished him well, but I
couldn't bring myself to grasp the outstretched hand he offered in appreciation.
People begin and end almost every interaction with handshakes. Handshaking
has become a thing of the past and increasingly dangerous, too. Risks associated with
handshaking have become more threatening than the mere passing of germs from one
person to another. It is true that diseases such as hepatitis cannot be passed from one
person to another through a simple handshake. But what about cold virus? Rather
than risk our health unnecessarily, we might adopt an alternative to handshaking. The
"Namaste"-placing your two palms together with fingers pointed upward- is used
throughout much of the world as a display of respect when greeting someone.
Similarly, the military salute would permit us to greet each other without touching. As
a possible compromise between the "Namaste" and the salute, we might consider the
familiar Japanese bow.

In many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: do we have the right to use animals
in laboratory experiments? Using animal's medical research has many benefits.
Animal research has involved researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart
diseases. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox without
animal research .every drug anyone takes today was tried first on animals . Which is more
important, the life of a rat or that of a three- year old child? Medical research is also an excellent
way of using unwanted animals. Last year over twelve million animals had to be killed because
nobody wanted them as pets. The fact is that human benefit cannot be used as a reason for using
animals in research, anymore than it can be used as a reason for experimenting on other humans.
Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages and they may
be unable to move. Animals have the same rights as humans; to be able to move freely and not to
have pain or fear forced on them. We can use computer modeling instead of animals in research
laboratories to save animals' life.

When people are playing a game, they need to follow the rules. If they don't, the game
becomes disorganized and unfair. Drivers who don't follow traffic laws can
cause serious accidents. Most things we do are governed by rules. These may be unwritten,
like the rules of social politeness, or official laws passed by parliament and backed up by the
legal system. But all rules and laws have the same purpose - to make it clear what is right or
wrong, and what happens if someone breaks the rules. They are designed to ensure fairness,
safety and respect for other people's rights. Most of us are basically honest, and knowing
the rules means that we usually try to follow them. One reason we do this is to avoid
punishment, but the strongest argument for following the rules is - quite simply - that it makes

Generally, rainforests are forests with high rainfall and a large number of different
kinds of plants and animals. Human beings depend on rainforests in numerous ways but
it would be wrong to suggest that they should be saved just because they are useful to
humans. Rainforests have been called the womb of life because they are home to 50 90 % of the species on earth although tropical forests cover only 12 % of the land area
of the Earth. It has been estimated that as a result of cutting down rainforest, at least 40
species are disappearing every day. No one knows just how the rest of the global
ecosystems depend on rainforests, but we may find out in the next 30 to 50 years.
Rainforests are a vital source of medicine and at least 25% of all modern drugs came
originally from rainforests. Rainforests offer a veritable bounty of foods. The Earth's
climate is affected by rainforests. When trees are down and burnt or left to decompose,
they release carbon dioxide into the air which is the main gas that causes global
warming. Cutting down rainforests also changes the amount of rain that falls in an area.
When rain falls on forests, the water is slowed down and absorbed by trees and plants.
When they are taken away, the water flows quickly over the ground and this causes
floods and erosion.

It was believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people agree to
this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are
being performed concerning appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and
biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give us the ability to
understand how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several people were
asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 % said they reacted to stressful
situations by eating. Further investigations of both humans and animals indicated that it is
not food which relieves tension, but rather the act of chewing. A list showed that extremely
fat people have a high sense of taste, and love more flavoured food than thin people. When
deprived of the variety of tastes, extremely fat people are not satisfied and consequently
eat more. To fulfill this need. Exercise has been recommended as an important pail of
weight-loss programmes. However, it has been found out that mild exercise is a way of
losing weight because using the stairs instead of the lift is better in the long run than taking
on a severe programme such as running slowly ( jogging ). Many people find jogging difficult

Video and television are responsible for the declining interest in reading among the
young. While they may be harmless in themselves, they do nothing to build up reading
skills. If some of the hours children spend watching television were devoted to reading,
the population would be better educated. Watching a story is a totally passive pastime.
Someone else has made the decisions about everything in the story. Reading a story is
an active partnership between writer and reader. Ideas arc sketched and the mind of
the reader creates the rest. Watching something is easier.
The problem is that many children read very slowly. They decode a page or two in a
class and about the same again for homework. It is hardly surprising that such children
then declare that they find reading boring and prefer to watch television. Their
difficulty is not reading the words - it is interpreting them. They need to be able to read
fast enough to feed the mind's hunger for a story. That means practice. Only by reading
daily will a child become a strong and independent reader.
Parents need to be convinced of the importance of preventing their children from
wasting their hours on inert viewing. Without the television the child is likely going to
turn to books for entertainment

every day. We seem to use computers for almost everything these days; in shopping,
driving our car, or communicating with relatives and colleagues.
This explosion in computer technology has resulted in a rush to install computers in
every classroom and to "wire" every school to the Internet. In the USA, between 1984
and 1997 alone, the number of computers in secondary schools increased to more
than 10 million units. Both educators and students alike have been forced to keep up
with this new wave of technology. Teachers have found that even though. they
themselves are still trying to learn the most basic of computer skills, they are expected
to teach students about computers Few people would question the role that
computers could play in education. Some educators claim that students given the
opportunity to use them in a classroom setting will get better grades than those who
learn without having had any computer experience. These people say that just as
computer technology has improved the way cars work, computers will make the
classroom a better place to teach concepts and ideas that students need to become

The ancient Greeks always asserted that a healthy mind in a healthy body is the key to a
well-balanced life. Nowadays many schools are decreasing the amount of time given to
sports, and some schools are removing it altogether. Although academic subjects are
certainly a very important part of the school curriculum, I am strongly opposed to the
complete removal of sports.
Firstly, schools have a responsibility to educate children in all areas. For that reason, it
is just as important to provide sports practice for the professional sportsmen and women
of the future, as it is to provide academic training to those who will go on to university.
In addition, students these days spend long hours studying or working at their computers.
Therefore, they need the opportunity to do some physical activity during the school day.
This will not only help to increase their level of fitness and make them healthier, it will also
mean that they develop better social skills and are able to concentrate on their studies for
longer, and thus achieve better result.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that sports should remain a key part of the school
curriculum. All children have the right to get a balanced education, and they should not be
deprived of the opportunity to learn how to play sports.
