Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions from 13 to 20<br />
Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it<br />
gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to<br />
study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the<br />
word, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as<br />
helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.<br />
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different<br />
social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are<br />
available.<br />
A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive<br />
government help.<br />
“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young<br />
people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ''You learn to live with people<br />
and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't<br />
believe how much less I argued with my sister."<br />
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really<br />
seem to work.<br />
