Read the text and answer the questions 4 & 5.

There are a good number of reasons why the students in Bangladesh fail in English. That English is a foreign language is the main reason. In other words, students do not have the right approach to English. Very few of them are earnest in learning English.

What the students seek is to cross the barriers of examination. To most of them, learning is unpleasant and examination is fearful. Secondly, teaching of a foreign language becomes very difficult when the learners are not keen on the subject. In that situation, a teacher of English can hardly find out a technique suitable to all.

They fail to motivate the learners, that they must master the four skills of language and that there is no easy way of learning a foreign language. In short, they fail to make language learning interesting. Moreover, textbooks for different classes are not suited to the stages and the standard of the learners.

Finally, the form of the questions in the public examination induces cramming rather than learning the language. The faulty nature of question persuades the students to run after the so-called touch and pass systems. It is high time we did something to save the students from the disgrace of failure.

4. Write down whether the statements are true or false. If false, give the correct information.

(a)  Most of the students are indifferent to their studies.
(b)  Textbooks are hardly suitable in the standards of the students.
(c)  The causes of failure are very few.
(d) In most of the cases, the teachers are successful in reaching their goals.
(e)  It is the appropriate time to save the students from the disgrace of failure.
