give    country    serious    take    many

Some countries are better than others at looking after the environment. In Europe, Germany and the northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment. People in   1   such as Germany put their garbage into different bags—paper in one bag, plastic in another bag, etc. The garbage is then  2   away and it possible, recycled. Chemicals which are found in refrigerators are not allowed. There are laws that do not allow people to burn too   3   coal. In the 1970s, as people learnt more about environmental problems, the "Green" movement began and soon spread all over Europe. The “Green” movement tries to get governments to think   4   about the environment and how to look after it. It collects information about how industry is damaging the environment and  5   this information to newspapers.

B

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind the culture of the country. In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.
