Passage 1:
Every responsible society should do something meaningful to improve the lives of its younger generation, such as freeing children from the horrible burden of school tests and examinations.// Unfortunately, in this country schools and parents do all they can to force children to sit for all kinds of examinations before they are allowed into colleges and universities.// Children complain that their classes, their textbooks and their teachers are boring. However, the voice of the children is rarely heard by the adult world.// I doubt that children under this compulsory system will actually learn anything beneficial for the country and for themselves. I don't believe they will become very creative citizens.
Passage 2:
Like all large cities throughout the world, New York has old problems to solve and new ones to face. Slums must be cleared and new houses must be built.// Traffic congestion continues to trouble the city's already over-crowded streets. Not only must new highways be constructed, but also old road must be repaired.// Caring for the sick, providing for the needy, and helping new comers to adjust to big city life are additional tasks that the City of New York must perform. Protecting the health and safety of New Yorkers requires an army of police, firemen, as well as doctors and nurses.// In spite of all these, millions of visitors continue to flock to the city every year. New Yorkers are working hard to meet their city's needs and to keep it a world center of culture, industry and commerce.
