  [Elements of Description]
  A description gives readers a clear idea of what a person, a place, a thing, or an event is like. It includes certain key elements:
  (1)[Sensory* details]: These help readers see, hear, smell, taste, or feel the subject by creating a vivid picture of it.
  (2)[Main impression]: This is the image which a description aims to create. It unifies all the descriptive details and gives readers an overall sense of the subject.
  (3)[Accurate language]: Specific adjectives and nouns and strong action verbs can help readers imagine what the author is describing.
  (4)[Clear organization]: The information in a description can be arranged in spatial* order, chronological* order, or order of importance.
  The above elements help readers better understand and enjoy a text.

  For many high school dropouts* in San Francisco, going back to school means having to cross dangerous zones overrun by drug dealers and gangsters. To fix this problem, Sunny Schwartz, co-founder of Five Keys, worked with local police to create the first-ever mobile classroom on a bus, seeking to bring education to students instead.
  Buses follow a route with fixed stops throughout the city, stopping at one safe spot in the morning and another in the afternoon. This way, students from different neighborhoods can get on and off and study at different periods of time. This mobile classroom offers all the basic necessities of a traditional one: chairs, desks, Internet access, a whiteboard, a library, and a study area, as well as a teacher. Thousands of students have benefitted from this service, which helps them continue their education and earn a high school diploma* for free.
  For Schwartz, the outside environment for these students may be difficult, but access to education doesn’t have to be. This model is easy to reproduce and can be done anytime, anywhere--bringing the term “school bus” to a whole new level.

  “Instead of the students going to school, the school reaches them.” --Mohammed Rezwan*
  Bangladesh*, a country in South Asia, suffers from terrible monsoons* every year. Around one third of the country is flooded1 during the rainy season. These major floods cause roads to get blocked and thousands of schools to shut their doors for months [at a time]. As a result, many children are often denied access to proper schooling. Fortunately, an innovative architect named Mohammed Rezwan appears to has come up with an appropriate2 and promising3 solution: boat schools!
　　
  〔Language Highlight〕
  In Paragraph 1, the author shows that an educational problem in Bangladesh arises from a series of events. A cause-andeffect chain is used to describe how this problem develops. Fill in the blanks and complete the chain.
  Many areas are flooded. → Roads get ----. → Many schools ----. → Many children are ----.

  "Each boat school can accommodate as many as thirty students and provide basic education up to the fourth grade."
p.31
  The boat school program was launched in 2002 by Rezwan. Its goal was to provide elementary school children in Bangladesh with education throughout the year. The design of the boats [is based on] that of traditional local wooden boats called noka. Each boat is about fifteen meters long and three meters wide. On top of the boat is a weatherproof* roof held up by arched4 metal beams*. If the roof were not built with such strong materials, the boat would be damaged by heavy monsoon rains. Inside, the boat school looks just like a regular school. It’s equipped with tables, chairs, a blackboard, electronic equipment, and multimedia* resources, including a computer connected to the Internet. All the power needed on the boat is supplied by solar5 panels6 installed7 on the roof. Each boat school can accommodate as many as thirty students and provide basic education up to the fourth grade.
  Every morning, six days a week, students wait at the docks* near their muddy8 villages for the boat schools to sail by and pick them up. Aside from traditional subjects, students also study environmental topics like biodiversity and water pollution. Each learning session9 lasts three hours. When the session is over, each the boat takes the

students back to their village and then sails on to the next village to pick up another thirty students for another session. After school, many students receive low-cost solar lanterns that enable them to study at night. Also, in the evenings, the boat schools project10 educational films onto large sailcloth, which allows nearby villagers to watch from the open areas outside their homes.
  The floating classrooms benefit not only children but also adults. They offer on-board training in practical11 issues12 like nutrition13, health and hygiene14, and human rights. Boat schools also teach adults various farming techniques, such as growing flood-resistant15 crops. Such training makes it possible for the villagers to increase productivity16 so as to ensure sufficient17 food and yearround* income18. The boat schools even offer lessons on financial19 management so that people may better manage their money.

  The boat school concept has now been adopted by other countries [at risk20 of] flooding, including Cambodia, Nigeria*, and the Philippines*. The boat school program has made it possible for many around the world to [rise above] flood waters, overcome geographical21 barriers22, and improve their lives. Indeed23, boat classrooms seem to have created opportunities24 for high-quality education for both children and adults. In doing so, these schools have provided brighter futures for people living in countries that frequently suffer from severe25 flooding.
