The technical schools were a little more modern than the classical schools. The courses they offered included modern languages, mathematics, some science and commercial subjects.
- Maria chose the technical school.

2- Why did everyone predict that Maria Montessori would fail? (2003)
Maria chose to attend a technical school where the courses included modern languages, mathematics, science and commercial subjects. When she joined a school in Rome, the courses included modern subjects, but the teaching methods were very traditional.

She was invited to be a delegate to the International Women’s Congress in Berlin. She was a great success. She gave two speeches which were received with great enthusiasm. Newspaper reporters interviewed her and described her as intelligent and charming.

3-What kind of research was Maria interested in? What was her attitude towards idiot children?
She was interested in research that concerned children with serious developmental problems or “idiot children”. These children could not function at home or at school.

1-Why was Maria chosen as director of “Children’s House”? What should be given to those children to be ordinary according to Maria? (2006)
She was chosen because she was well-known for her work with children and knew a lot about teaching children. Children should be given much freedom. They should be free to choose their activities, to start and stop as they liked. The teacher’s role was to provide materials and show the children how to use them. He should stand aside and let the learning happen.

2-How was Maria able to change children’s behaviour in her school?
At first children were frightened. Some children were violent, while others refused to talk. As Maria introduced her activities, their behaviour changed. The violent children calmed down and the silent ones began to communicate. They all became more sociable, co-operative and enthusiastic about the school.

1- Dumping waste and chemicals in oceans and sea has a great effect on marine environment. Discuss. (2002)
Dumping waste and chemicals in oceans and seas has a great effect on marine environment. For centuries, people have used the oceans as a dumping place where they dump tons of garbage, chemicals and many other dangerous substances. They believe that they will disappear in the large oceans. However, these substances stay in the water. They float to shores and are eaten by tiny creatures. Then the larger animals which eat the tiny creatures are poisoned and die. The coasts and shores around the world have become unsafe for both humans and animals. The world’s fish population is rapidly shrinking.

2-What does “global thinking” mean? (2004)
Global thinking means working together for solutions to global problems such as pollution and environmental destruction.

3- To what extent is the ozone layer important for all forms of life? (2004)
The ozone layer is important in protecting the earth from the sun’s rays. Without this layer, most forms of life on earth would not be able to live.

4-Pollution does not stay where it is. Explain. (2005)
Pollution does not stay where it begins. It spreads out from every river and every harbor and affects bodies of water everywhere.

5-Why does the problem of environmental destruction require global thinking? (2006)
As the world’s population has grown and technology has developed, the environment has suffered and the rate of pollution has increased. So, global thinking is required because the environment is global. The atmosphere, the oceans and many forms of life are all connected. These problems cannot be solved by local laws and regulations.

6-What has connected people all over the world? (2007)
Communications technology has connected people all over the world.

7-Which problem do chloro-fluorocarbons (CFCs) cause? What should be done to solve this problem?
Scientists discovered that these CFCs were destroying the ozone layer in the atmosphere. The ozone layer helps protect the earth from the sun’s rays. Without this layer, most forms of life on earth would not be able to live. Many countries such as India and China still use CFCs in industry. These countries need help from the industrialized countries so that they can change their refrigerator factories to non-CFC processes.

1-What is the reason for the difference in population growth in industrialized countries and less developed countries?
The reason for this difference lies in the birth rate. In industrialized countries, a very low birth rate has caused population growth to slow down or stop. Moreover, life expectancy in these countries has been increasing. This means that the percentage of older people is increasing. In less developed countries, the birth rate in many places is extremely high and life expectancy is very low. This means that the population is very young.

2-What is meant by the birth rate?
The birth rate is the average number of children per woman of child-bearing age.

3-What is meant by life expectancy?
Life expectancy is the average length of a person’s life.

4-What problems does population explosion cause in less developed countries?
Less developed countries are much poorer than industrialized countries. The annual income is very low. Crowding on the land means that water, food and firewood become more difficult to find. Hunger and disease kill millions, especially children.

5-How is life expectancy inversely proportional to birth rate in industrial countries? (2008)
While birth rates have been declining in the industrial countries, life expectancy has been increasing. In almost all the industrialized countries, life expectancy is now over 70 years of age. This means that the percentage of older people in the population is increasing

1-What is meant by the “Green Revolution”? (2007)
The “Green Revolution” is a new approach to agriculture. It involved the large-scale cultivation of new types of grain and the extensive use of chemicals and farm machinery.

2-Erosion is a reason for the lower grain production. Discuss. (2006)
Erosion is another reason for the lower grain production. Large-scale farming of a single crop creates the perfect conditions for erosion. In dry areas, the loss of top soil has lowered the productivity of the land.

3-Mention three reasons for the failure of the “Green Revolution”. (2005) / Why do the green revolution methods of farming no longer appear to be successful? (2003)
a) The expenses of the new farming methods.
b) Farmers must use large amounts of expensive chemical fertilizers.
c) Farmers use expensive chemical insecticides.
d) Watering systems are expensive.
e) The large-scale farming of a single crop creates the perfect conditions for erosion.



4-In what way did the new farming methods increase the differences between rich and poor landowners? (2003)
Many farmers cannot afford to buy all the expensive chemicals and equipment and so production decreases. Only the large landowners can afford to make the necessary investments for maximum production. They buy land from the smaller farmers and become richer. Small landowners become landless and poor. As a result, the differences between rich and poor landowners increase.

5-How do modern farming methods affect society? (2002) (2008)
Only the larger landowners can afford to make the necessary investments for maximum production of the new grains. With their profits, they buy land from the smaller farmers and become richer. Small landowners become landless and poor. Social tensions naturally increase in this situation.

6-As the “Green revolution” methods no longer appear to be successful, what should governments and farmers do?
Governments and farmers need to look at the overall picture and long-term effects. They need to find new methods that will better meet the needs of the world’s hungry people and will also be less destructive.
