Belle Lawrence I’m in the third year of high school. It’s not the last year, because there is one more, but I still have to study day and night instead of going partying. I even had to give up watching TV and reading for pleasure in the evening. Everything we do in high school is important, as all our grades get into our official records. Sometimes future employers and universities want to see more than just final exam results: they also want to see how students have worked and improved over the years. Although our end-of-school exams are only next year, all of us are feeling the pressure. We keep working all the time. We’ll finish our secondary education at the age of eighteen. Some of us will say «goodbye» to studying forever, but a lot of my schoolmates want to go on studying at colleges and universities. This year I’m going to take an SAT reasoning test. It’s a standard test required by most American colleges. The SAT shows not only what you have learned at school, but also how well you can use your knowledge to analyse and solve problems. It consists of three major sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. The SAT results are believed to predict whether a student will do well at college. The test is carried out by Educational Testing Service nearly every month and costs $45. Although you can sit the SAT as many times as you want, normally it’s taken once or twice. I keep putting it off, but in March I’ll have to go for my first try. I hope I’ll do well and won’t have to resit it. I’ve decided to apply to UCLA, the University of California Los Angeles, so I’ll need a high score in my test. UCLA is one of the most popular universities in the States. I know that in the last few years they have received more applications than any other university and have admitted only about ten per cent of those who applied. Students are attracted to UCLA by both its excellent educational and social-life opportunities. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
