Nếu nút play không xuất hiện thì nhấn F5. Đoán từ điền vào trỗ trống. Bôi đen chỗ trống xem đáp án.[MP3]https://server1.vnkienthuc.com/files/3/Media/kkha04.mp3[/MP3]This is the VOA Special English Education Report. For years the University of California, Los Angeles, has done a [A] national survey [/A]of first-year college students. Some of the questions in  the Freshman Survey relate to emotional [A]health[/A] and [A]stress[/A]. Last year,  twenty-nine percent said they often felt "overwhelmed" by all they had  to do in their last year of high school. That was two [A]percentage[/A] points  higher than the year before. There was a big [A]difference[/A] between men and women. Almost forty  percent of women reported feeling that level of stress, compared to just[A] eighteen percent[/A]  of men. Deborah Stipek is dean of the School of Education at Stanford  University in California. She says a lot of students are under too much[A] pressure[/A]  from parents and schools. DEBORAH STIPEK: "They are not enjoying what can be the [A]incredible[/A]  satisfaction of learning and developing understandings and [A]skills[/A].  Leaning can be an adventure. But instead of an adventure, it's really  about the test, it's about the college [A]application[/A]." Professor Stipek recently wrote about this issue in the journal  Science. She used the example of her own daughter in high school. Her  daughter has taken [A]advancement[/A] placement, or AP, courses in French to  earn credit toward college. She told her mother she would be happy to  never speak French again. DEBORAH STIPEK: "I think that revealed the real basic problem, which  is the AP courses that she was taking in French were not about learning  French, not about being able to [A]communicate[/A] with a different culture, or  to travel, or to have a skill that could be useful in life. It was  about getting a score on an AP test that would help her get into the  college of her choice." Professor Stipek says high schools should listen to their students. DEBORAH STIPEK: "One of the things that schools are doing that we're  working with is doing yearly surveys of students to find out what their  sources of [A]stress[/A] and anxiety [are], and get their ideas on what the  school can do, what kinds of policies can be supportive of them. And  this has been actually amazing, because we've gone into schools where  they say 'This isn't a problem.' And then they do a [A]survey[/A] of the  students, and they are just [A]blown[/A] away by what they get back from the  students when the students are actually asked." In two thousand nine, a [A]documentary film[/A] looked at the pressure on  many students to succeed in school and in lives busy with activities and  homework. The film is called "Race to Nowhere." STUDENTS: "If you were [A]dedicating[/A] your whole life to your grades, you  have to be smart. And you have to be involved in the arts. I have  soccer practice every day. Plus the [A]homework [/A]on top of that. Produce,  produce, produce. It's impossible. I couldn't cope." Deborak Stipek says the film shows that many students today are not [A]experiencing[/A] the joys of learning. DEBORAK STIPEK: "I was [A]interviewed[/A] in it, as many others were, and I  think the most compelling interviews were of the students. These are  students who felt under enormous pressure to perform, and I want to  underscore the word 'perform,' as [A]opposed[/A] to 'learn.'" She says the hardest lesson for [A]society [/A]may be that young people will grow up lacking [A]interest[/A] in learning. And that's the VOA Special English Education Report.  Tell us about life for students where you are.
