Green School in Bali is an unusual school. It was an experiment in 2010 by John and Cynthia Hardy. Everything in the school is ‘green’ - that means it’s all good for the environment. The classrooms are made of bamboo. The light and power are from the sun. The school also uses water from the river to produce energy.
The Hardys’ experiment was successful and there are now 160 students from more than twenty-five countries - and it goes from kindergarten up to age eighteen. The students at Green School don’t only learn subjects such as English and Maths, they also learn to grow organic vegetables and other foods such as rice in the huge school gardens. They look after the plants and learn to cook them. The school also keeps some farm animals. The students also study building, making furniture and traditional dance and art.
The Hardys want the local community to be a part of Green School. They have a rule that twenty percent of the students must be from Bali because they want local children to learn about protecting the environment. The children are often poor, so people from all over the world pay for them to go to the school.
Green School’s idea of green living is becoming more popular and now people are building eco-houses near the school so their children can walk to school. The Hardys’ dream is that one day all the schools in the world will be green.

Question 6: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
Students at Green School learn many practical skills apart from subjects like English and Maths.
The Hardys believe it is important for local children to learn about environmental protection.
The idea of green living promoted by Green School is now catching on among people.
All schools worldwide are following Green School’ green principles as the Hardys expected.
Green School in Bali is an unusual school. It was an experiment in 2010 by John and Cynthia Hardy. Everything in the school is ‘green’ - that means it’s all good for the environment. The classrooms are made of bamboo. The light and power are from the sun. The school also uses water from the river to produce energy.
The Hardys’ experiment was successful and there are now 160 students from more than twenty-five countries - and it goes from kindergarten up to age eighteen. The students at Green School don’t only learn subjects such as English and Maths, they also learn to grow organic vegetables and other foods such as rice in the huge school gardens. They look after the plants and learn to cook them. The school also keeps some farm animals. The students also study building, making furniture and traditional dance and art.
The Hardys want the local community to be a part of Green School. They have a rule that twenty percent of the students must be from Bali because they want local children to learn about protecting the environment. The children are often poor, so people from all over the world pay for them to go to the school.

Question 8: In which paragraph does the author mention the Hardys’ hope for global environmental sustainability in education?
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 4
[I] The first cities appeared around ten thousand years ago. [II] They were often located in areas with good farmland near rivers such as in Mesopotamia and Egypt. [III] This is because when people started to grow crops, they could live in communities in one place instead of moving around to find food. [IV]
People became attracted to cities because they offered trade, education and work opportunities, but urbanisation is a novel concept. Until 250 years ago, 90% of people lived in rural areas. The huge cities of Mesopotamia have disappeared, but other cities have grown. For example, Cairo in Egypt today has a population of 22 million people.
The main reason behind the rapid urbanisation we see today was the Industrial Revolution of the mid-1800s, which started in England and then spread to Europe and America. People started moving from the countryside to the cites to work in the factories, which made the city populations grew rapidly. London went from a population of one million in 1800 to over six million in ten years. Advances in infrastructure, transit, education and entertainment keep attracting people to move to big cities. More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas today and experts predict that it will increase to two-thirds by 2050.
The first megacities with populations of more than 10 million people were New York City and Tokyo in the 1950s. There are 33 megacities around the world today. Tokyo is still the biggest with 37.3 million residents, but there are lots of cities with populations of more than 20 million such as Delhi, Shanghai, Dhaka, Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Experts predict there will be 41 megacities by the year 2030.
