What Parents Can Do to Nurture Good Writers
Steve Graham, a professor at Arizona State University’s Teachers College, has been researching how young
people learn to write for more than 30 years. He is a co-author of numerous books on writing instruction,
including “Powerful Writing Strategies for All Students.”
How does reading at home help children become better writers?
is really critical, but it’s not enough. We don’t have much evidence that if you just read more, you’ll
be a better writer. But analyzing text does make a difference. So when we read to kids, we can also have
conversations with them about the author’s craft. How did this author make this place seem real in terms of
description? What words did they use? How did they present this idea or this argument?
Should a parent correct a child’s writing, or just be encouraging?
Sometimes when kids come to you to share what they’re writing, they’re not coming for feedback. They are
coming for affirmation. It’s really important we emphasize first and foremost what we really like about it.
And if you’re going to give feedback, just pick one or two things. English teachers — and parents are guilty
of this, too — sometimes overwhelm kids with more feedback than they can absorb all at once. The other
thing that’s really important, particularly for parents, is to remember that they don’t own this piece. It’s their
child’s.
What should parents look for to assess the writing instruction at their child’s school?
After about third grade, very little time is devoted to explicit writing instruction. It’s like we’ve imagined
that kids have acquired what they need to know to be good writers by then! In middle and high school, the
most common activities are fill-in-the-blanks on worksheets, writing single sentences, making lists or writing
a paragraph summary. When you start talking about persuasive essays or an informative paper, those things
occur infrequently in English class and even less so in social studies and science.
So the first questions are: “Is my kid writing at school, and was he given writing assignments to work on at
home? Do those require writing more extended thoughts for the purposes of analysis and interpretation?”
That’s what they need to be able to do for college.

The history of language study illustrates widely divergent
attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech.
Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a
source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide
language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar
were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.
The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored
or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating
only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules,
and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak
properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid
down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written
style.
There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout
the 19th century, but it was not until the 20th century that an
alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed
out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing;
that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be
artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative —
mostly based on sounds of speech.

TEXT I
The time to embrace change in education is right now! In fact, it’s long overdue.
Did you know that the model for modern-day public education was created by the
need for on-time mechanical workers during the industrial revolution? That was
certainly a technological disruption, but it happened 250 years ago. It’s what we
call the front-lead method, and it’s not the best model for addressing the learning
needs of many students: divergent thinkers, neurodiverse minds, creatives,
scientists, and the list goes on. Which brings us to our next point: it’s time for the
next wave of disruption. Luckily for us, it’s here. And it’s been here since 1989,
when Tim Berners-Lee — a British scientist from CERT — invented the World
Wide Web. We know, you use the internet every day, and it’s great, but maybe
you’re skeptical that it can revolutionize education. Well, if you didn’t know, it
already is. A large body of evidence-based, peer reviewed work points to the web
as one of the central hubs for positive educational change today. It’s our
connection to others, our access to a world of educational resources, it’s a format
that works for many learners, it’s at the heart of countless services (that don’t work
in an unconnected world), and it’s driving access to education.

Jack Kilby’s revolutionary idea was to make all the
different components of a circuit out of the same flat block of
semiconductor material. Not only would this get rid of wires and
faulty connections, it would make the entire circuit much more
compact. Kilby demonstrated his first “integrated circuit” on
Sept. 12, 1958.
Six months later, in California, another engineer, Robert
Noyce, independently came up with the idea of making an
integrated circuit. Noyce’s chip was better suited to be
manufactured in large numbers, and soon he was part of a young
company called Intel.
Thus was launched a revolution. The first chip-based
computer was the first U.S. Air Force computer, built in 1961.
The true potential of the integrated circuit was shown when
Texas Instruments unveiled the pocket calculator. Previously
calculators had been bulky devices that needed to be plugged in
to electrical mains. The pocket calculator, small enough to hold
in one’s palm, had a chip inside and batteries were adequate to
power it.
Progress was rapid thereafter. Many have already heard of
Moore’s law, which has become a mantra of the digital age. First
put forward by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s,
it says that the processing power of a chip doubles every two
years, while the price falls by half. For more than four decades,
Moore’s law has held, driving incredible growth and
miniaturization — and wealth.
The question is whether the semiconductor industry can
sustain this pace. Further increasing the processing power of
chips is proving to be problematic as certain fundamental
physical barriers are being reached. At the same time, new
frontiers are opening up. The quest is on to make chips that are
powered by light instead of electricity, which will enable much
faster computers.

Considering the text above, judge the following item.
In the third sentence of the fourth paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to Intel.

Answer question according to TEXT 1 below, adapted from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8606466.stm (accessed on April 7th, 2010) .
TEXT 1
At least 200 people have died in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro after another storm. This is arguably the worst torrential rain for decades, causing flooding and landslides. Our website readers in Rio de Janeiro have been sharing their experiences.
Comment 1 - I’ve never seen such chaos. We weren’t prepared for this, even though we were warned that a big storm was about to come. Newspapers are saying that the reason for the catastrophe is the garbage. Well it may have been. We need to teach recycling at schools and community groups, otherwise we will have more disasters like this. (Lia, Niterói)
Comment 2 - Today I witnessed Rio de Janeiro on the brink of collapse. I ventured out around midday, just as the electric power blacked out in my neighbourhood. Three hours later, looking out of my office window, the city still reminded me of a war zone. “What´ve we done to deserve this?”, I thought. It’s night time now and I haven’t been able to return home. I might do so tomorrow. (José, Rio)
Comment 3 - Worldwide, we are seeing more and more
climate instability. The deserts of central Asia are growing,
while areas of the US (and now Rio) are drenched. The lakes
in Minnesota have never thawed this early, at any time in the
recorded record. The icecaps will be history, and islands
around the world are disappearing under the surf. The oceans
are warming, the coral reefs are dying. How much more
evidence do we need of global warming? (João, Brasília)
The pronoun “this” in the excerpt “We weren’t prepared
for this” refers back to:

Text 18A3-I
The roar of a waterfall suggests the power of water. Rampaging floodwaters can uproot strong trees and twist railroad tracks. When the power of water is harnessed, however, it can do useful work for humans.
Since ancient times, people have put the energy in the flow of water to work. They first made water work for them with the waterwheel, a wheel with paddles around its rim. Flowing water rotated the waterwheel, which in turn ran machinery that was linked to it. Today, new kinds of waterwheels — turbines — spin generators that produce electricity. Electricity from water-turned generators is known as hydroelectricity.
By building a dam across a river, the natural upstream water level is elevated and a difference in head is created that can be used to drive turbines and generate electricity. A large upstream reservoir may balance seasonal water flow; rain or melted snow can be stored in the reservoir during the wet season to provide electricity during dry seasons.
Waterpower is distributed unevenly among the continents and nations of the world. Europe and North America have developed much of their waterpower. Asia, South America, and Africa have abundant waterpower potential, but while countries such as China and Brazil have become leading hydroelectric producers, much of the waterpower resource on those continents remains undeveloped.
