B. Error correction (21–30)

The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Identify and correct the mistakes.

Although the plane is the fastest mean of transport, the idea of travelling by plane does not appeal for everyone because of the frequent delays. It is extremely frustrating when you allow yourself little of time to get to the airport and- once there - it is brought to your attendance that there is a problem with your flight. The staffs at the check-in are trying to convince you that it won't be long before the problem solves. Yet, hours later you feel let down, as you continue to wait patiently for your boarding call. Of course, you won't gain something by complaining. By this stage, you realise you are going to miss your connecting flight and now you must change your bookings. You feel as if you're never going to get to your destination. Therefore, there is the slight chance that you could be one of the lucky ones spend the night at a top class hotel at the expense of the airline which caused your problem in the first place. Admittedly, you would rather be heading for your original destination. Regular customers advise us just to accept the fact that no matter what frustrating this situation might be, it's avoidable and shouldn't affect us that much.

C. Reading MCQ Music (51–57)

Choose A–D.

With popular music as with classical music, the only way to come to understand it thoroughly, it is said, is by performing it. The problem with many pop bands is that their members are self-taught and, consequently, if ever they reach the level of public performance, they often only succeed in perpetuating the musical conventions to which they have been exposed. The days when a group of raw, talented musicians could get together and work their way through to a distinctive sound, constantly improving their technique in the process, seem to be gone. There may still be talents around of the order of a Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton, able to acquire prodigious technique mainly by themselves, but the motivation -the sense that there is still something urgent to say within the medium- has largely evaporated. So much so that most aspiring young musicians are increasingly content to play their own versions of other people's tunes.
So what role, if any, does music teaching in school have to play? The current fashion in musical education in Britain dictates that young children must be creative and active, whilst the playing of recorded music to children has been made to seem like an easy option for lazy teachers. With many years of experience behind me as a musician and teacher, however, I feel strongly that listening to music is actually a crucial component in any musical education. The arguments put forward by music educators are usually a reaction to what they see as a habit of uncritical listening induced by pop music. But in response to this, I fear, rather simplistic view, a couple of points need making. The first is that classical music is also listened to uncritically. I well remember a head teacher (who incidentally was always complaining that her students' homework suffered as a result of their being distracted by popular music) sharing with me her delight over the new home hi-fi system she had acquired. Mozart, she said, eased the burden of writing hundreds of student reports enormously. Within a few weeks of our conversation, however, she had banned herself from using the system whilst working, so inaccurate had her report writing become. The second is that the aural awareness of the average listener to classical music - and I am afraid that includes a lot of music teachers - is also severely under-developed. Really discriminating listeners cannot tolerate music as a background to any activity that requires their concentration. Because they are mentally processing every note, they cannot shut the music out in order to perform any other tasks.
What's more, if musical performance, recorded or live, is to have an impact on the young, it is not going to be because it has been suitably prepared for creative exploration. More likely, it will be because a particular piece of music is able to move those pupils who are susceptible to such motivation by its irrational, primeval power. That is why it is so important that children should encounter the real world of music - preferably live as well as recorded - on as much variety as possible. Live music also provides an opportunity for educational visits which, rather like holidays, provide not only a useful psychological break from school routine, but also serve to broaden young people's horizons. Moreover if children need plenty of exposure to a variety of musical forms, it follows that we should not make, or allow children to make, any value judgements about which form is 'superior'. The fact is, popular and classical music represent different ways of life, in the sense of different views of culture and the values associated with it - and this despite the efforts of so many trained musicians to bridge the gap. It is therefore important that education should recognize the existence of this gap and subject it to some scrutiny, rather than pretend that it does not exist, or plump solely for one side or the other. Given the customary classical training of music teachers, and the general pop-orientated musical preferences of children, there is usually an intrinsic wariness between class and teacher: an unstated need for a kind of negotiated settlement. As with any negotiation, the start should be with areas of agreement rather than disagreement.
