Essadek Makhlouf Secondary School Ain Smara__ Classes: 1ST Year Science and Technology Common Core Part One: READING MM The Second Term Examination of English Read the text carefully and do the activities. (15 Points) Wedneday, February 5th, 2020 For years, many pupils that come to high school to literary classes set their heart on joining the foreign language class later. Many people claimed they wish so to avoid having philosophy as a core subject for the years to come. So, I decided to carry out a survey to discover if that thought was true or false. I questioned a hundred pupils of the first year classes in order to know why they all wanted to be foreign language learners later. When I asked them if they liked foreign languages, most of them said they were interested in learning them. Then I asked them which language they preferred learning. Some of them answered they enjoyed learning French while others loved English. Only a handful adored both languages. But my main interest was why they wished to join a language class later. Most of them told me that they loved studying languages and planned to further a career in, but very few declared that they did not wish to study philosophy as the most important subject. When I wanted to know whether they intended to study languages at university, most of them said that they would do once they passed their BAC exam with distinction. Surprisingly, my survey showed that the pupils' claim proved to be totally wrong since the majority want to join a language class simply because they want to avoid philosophy in the third year of the high school.
