Like many youngsters across the country, Piers Sharma will be waiting for the postman with trepidation next month, when exam results come out. Being seven years old, he is not the average examination student, however. ‘It was a bit hard, and a bit easy,’ he says of the exam in computer skills. ‘The hard bit was the video conferencing, the applications bit was easy.’Does he expect to pass? Sharma sounds momentarily stressed. ‘I did really well in the practical, I got an A,’ he says. ‘In the exam, I might have got a C+ or a B+. 2. ‘ Most students do their school leaving exams at the age of 15 or 16, but Sharma is one of a growing number of pupils sitting exams extraordinarily early. This year, he is one of an entire class of nine children — four seven-year-olds and five six-year-olds — who in May took an exam, in information and communication technology (ICT) at the private Ryde College in Hertfordshire. 3. The course takes a year to complete. Mike Ryde, principal of the college, confirmed that three of the children were five years old when they embarked on their ‘ examination studies, having ‘graduated’ from the college’s baby and toddler computer course, where learning starts at 18 months. At the age of three or four the infants ‘ attend ‘primer’ lessons. Then Ryde judges when they are ready to sit the exam. ‘The most we’ve ever had before has been one or two children of this age doing a school leaving exam,’ says Ryde. ‘The very fact that we’ve got nine students this ‘ year shows that a lot of six and seven-year-olds would be capable of doing this. It is no coincidence that they all started in classes so early. ‘ 4. The youngest ever to have taken the exam at Ryde was Arran Fernandez, who was five when he took Maths in 2001. Ryde’s own daughter Francesca, seven, will take the ICT examination next year and his son Frederick, six, is on the primer course. ‘The wonderful thing is that studying at a level designed for a 15-year-old has a knock-on effect,’ he says. ‘Francesca is topping the class at school.»We also have children doing English and Maths really early, but the younger children seem to gravitate towards ICT,’ he says. ‘They love working with computers.’ 5. Many educationists and parents would be horrified, arguing that six is too young to burden a child with exams. Ryde, however, believes that early school leaving exams should be introduced widely, claiming that such a system would reduce the stress on youngsters later on. ‘At present, you see children taking upwards of ten examinations at once at the age of 16,’ he says. ‘That’s a tremendous pressure. Why not give them the opportunity to take one or two a year? It seems to me that most children are ready to do an examination by the age of 11. We should not dumb down the system to the lowest common denominator — education is all about opportunity. ‘ 44. Exam results are coming out later this month. 45. There are nine students in Piers’ class at school. 46. The college has a computer course for babies. 47. Mike Ryde’s son is top of the class at school. 48. The parents decide when children are ready to take an exam. 49. Mike says the younger children love working with computers. 50. Mike thinks few children could take a school leaving exam at the age of 11. 8. Переведите письменно 3, 4, 5 абзацы текста
