III. Reading — Science in English
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
In many schools today, students learn science and mathematics in English, even when English is not their first language. This method helps students learn new ideas in these important subjects and improves their English skills at the same time.
Learning science subjects in English has several benefits. First, many science books and articles are written in English. If students know English, they can understand and use these materials easily. Second, when students study science in English, they learn important words that help them speak about scientific topics clearly. This can help students who want to study or work in other countries in the future. Also, studying science in English encourages students to work together and discuss ideas clearly.
However, this method can sometimes be difficult. Some students may find science ideas hard to understand because their English skills are limited. Teachers may also have problems if their own English is not strong enough. Therefore, schools need to support teachers and students by providing extra training and language help.
