Ireland now has one of the best education systems in the world. Class sizes are small, exam results are
good and most children are happy to stay at school after the minimum leaving age of sixteen. It is easy to
forget that the picture used to be very different.
For years, Ireland had one of the most complicated education systems in the world. There were many
different kinds of school, but most of them had a lot in common. Classes were large and the teaching was very
traditional. As in many countries, teachers used to hit the children if they made mistakes (the government
banned corporal punishment in 1982).
Parents used to pay for their children's education and, as a result, there were schools for the rich and
schools for the poor. Boys and girls went to different schools and studied different subjects. Nowadays, most
schools are free and only about half the schools are single-sex. In many ways, education is now a woman's
world. Girls do better than boys in their exams, more girls go to university and most teachers are women.
At the end of secondary school, students take their final exams (the 'Leaving Certificate'). Compulsory

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very interesting animal
to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use various vocalization techniques. They whistle and squeak
to recognize members of their pod, identify and protect their young, and call out warnings of danger. They
also make clicking sounds used for echolocation to find food and obstacles in dark and murky waters.
Amazingly, the whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have a similar pattern
to human language. They always make conversational sounds when they greet each other. If you listen to
dolphins' squeaks and squeals, it will sound like they are having a conversation.
Dolphins usually use both sound and body language to communicate with each other. It is through gesture
and body language, however, that most of their communication with humans comes. Dolphins can be trained
to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high level of intelligence and communication
capacity. If they work for a long time with a trainer, they are able to recognize and understand human
commands.
A lot of dolphin communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments. These studies
have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that dolphins living in aquariums or research
centers cannot be considered "normal.” Even so, most believe that studying dolphin communication in
captivity is useful for beginning to understand the complexity of dolphin communication. After all, dolphins
are one of the most intelligent animals. Their ability to communicate is impressive and worthy of study.
