Unless their parents are rich, students receive a state grant of money that can cover most of their living expenses. The Open University in Britain, which was started in 1969, allows people who do not have the opportunity to go to the university to study for degree. Its courses are taught through television, radio, especially written textbooks. Students work with their tutors, who discuss their written work, either at meetings or through correspondence.

B TAPESCRIPT: In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults. They learned mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken language. Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed they set up schools to teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and other subjects. The first schools were usually for the boys. Most of the students came from rich and powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures religious leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools focused on military training. Sometimes, youth attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to help them become future leaders. . KEYS: 1. B 2. B 3. D 4. B 5. C 6. F 7. T 8. T 9. F 10 . T 11 . C 12 . D 13 . A 14 . D 15 . A 16 . B 17 .C 18 . D 19 . B 20. B 21. C 22.
