Language analysis

41
Perfect gerunds
The perfect gerund (having done) always refers to a time before that of the verb in the main clause. It
is used to emphasise that the action was completed in the past.
It can be used as:
• the subject of a sentence.
Example: Having studied science subjects made it easy for me to choose a university degree.
• an object after some verbs, e.g. admit, deny, forget, mention, regret, and remember or after
prepositions.
Example: My friend didn’t remember having lent me his English textbook.
My cousin often talked about having studied for five years at a top university.

Perfect participle clauses


The perfect participle has the same form as the perfect gerund, e.g. having asked, having studied.
We can use perfect participle clauses to:
• describe an action that happened before the action in the main clause.
Example: Having finished their course, they started looking for jobs.
• talk about the reason for the action in the main clause.
Example: Not having read the book, he can’t give us his opinion.

EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way
we communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about
their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike
simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible
through developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the
older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a
teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete
a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at
home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live
classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer
software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies on-line as well as
that students' learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and
teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for each individual
student and generate similar activities. It can also areas of weak achievement and produce special
programs adjusted to the students' needs.
Question 36. What is the topic of the passage?
A. The effect of information technology on education.
B. Students don't have to go to school any more.
C. Computer software will make sure students learn at home.
D. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.
Question 37. Which of the following could best replace the word "encouraged"?
A. discouraged B. emboldened C. allowed D. banned
Question 38. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ____ .
A. students B. study hours C. children D. Older children
Question 39. Who/What counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?
A. Virtual reality B. Teacher C. Parents D. Computer software
Question 40. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of information technology to the students?
A. Students can stay at home to learn.
B. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule.
C. Students' learning time won't be monitored.
D. Students' weak achievement can be identified

give written feedback in the next lesson. Details: We would like to create an online photo album
of the area on the park website. The photos will show
eco-friendly activities, such as picking up litter, going on
ecotours, or planting trees, and
activities that can harm the ecosystem in Cuc Phuong,
e.g. cutting down trees or littering in the
forest. Anyone interested, especially tourists to Cuc
Phuong, will be able to take photos and post
them on the website for everyone to see. This initiative
will last for at least one year.
Goals and benefits: Our goals are to raise awareness of
the need to protect Cuc Phuong ecosystem and to
promote environmentally friendly activities. The
campaign will also help people identify any activity
which can damage the ecosystem and report it when they
see it.
Conclusion:
We hope that you will consider our proposal. We believe
that this initiative will encourage more
people to take action against damaging the ecosystem of
Cuc Phuong National Park.

Finally, much of our local forest has been cut down to
make space for houses and farm land. This has led to
more natural disasters in the region. For example,
floods have become more common. They destroy
people’s houses, fields, and crops every year. To prevent
damage from natural disasters, we should spend more
money on planting more trees and restoring our forest.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that it is essential to spend

nature conservation will help create a healthy and stable
living environment for future generations.
