1. Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be thrust upon ourschools, which should be setting high standards of English languageproficiency. Instead, they only teach a little grammar and even less advancedvocabulary. Moreover, the younger teachers themselves evidently have littleknowledge of these vital structures of language because they also wentwithout exposure to them. Schools fail to adequately teach the essentialframework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary, while theyshould take the responsibility of pushing the young onto the path ofcompetent communication.

Thatfateful night, I was merely curious, but for him I think it was love at firstsight. \"You have beautiful eyes\he said as he gazed at my face. He keptstaring at me all night long.

Passage 1
I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I canstill remember something about the victory celebrations in the small townwhere I lived. We had not suffered much from the war there, though likemost children of my age, I was used to seeing bombed houses in the streetsand the enormous army lorries passing through. But both at home and atschool I had become accustomed to the phrases \"before the war\" and \"whenthe war's over\". \"Before the war,\" apparently, things had been better, though I
was too young to understand why, except there had been no bombs then, andpeople had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had only heardof. When the war was over, we would go back to London, but this meant verylittle to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now about Victory Day was the afternoon and theevening. It was a fine May Day. I remember coming home about five o'clock.My father and mother came in about an hour later. After dinner I said Iwanted to see the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end ofthe street. The bonfire was very high, and some people had collected someold clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache they had puton top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it, the flames rose and sooncovered the \"guy\". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old womancame out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep thefire going.
I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowingwhat to say. He said nothing either. He had fought in the First World War andmay have been remembering the end of that.
