Passage (five questions)
One November afternoon, a child came to Rhayader’s light house studio. She was about twelve, slender, dirty, nervous and timid. In her arms she carried something. She was desperately afraid of the ugly man she had come to see, but she had heard somewhere that this man would heal injured things. The man’s voice was deep and kind when he spoke to her. What is it, child? She stepped forward timidly, and still. There were stains of blood on its whiteness. The girl placed it in his arms. ‘I found it, Sir. It’s hurt is it still alive?’ ‘Yes. Yes, I think so.’ Rhayader went inside with the bird in his arms. He placed it upon a table. The girl covered. The bird fluttered. Rhayader spread one of its large white wings. ‘Child where did you find it?’ ‘In the wash, Sir. Hunters had been there.’ It is a snow goose from Canada. But how did it get here?’ The girl’s eyes were fixed on the injured bird. She said ‘Can you heal it, Sir? “Yes” said Rhayader. “We will try. You can help me. She has been shot, poor thing, her leg is broken and the wing too”.

Passage (Five questions)
Nobody can argue that the acquisition of knowledge is more fun and easier with computers. The mere activity of touching and exploring this device constitutes an enjoyable task for a child. This, accompanied by the relaxing attitude and software interactivity, usually contributes to a better grasping of new knowledge. At a higher educational level the availability of digital books, simulators and other academic materials provide the student with an ever accessible source of information, that otherwise would not be at hand. But, besides the increasing complexity and behavior of intelligent software, which is usually embedded in the academic digital material, the need for human interaction in the learning process will always be present, at least in the forseeable future. There is the necessity for a human being to be able to determine what the specific needs of each individual are. A computer, no matter how sophisticated its software is, can hardly mimic the expertise of a teacher in how to explain and adapt complex concepts to different individuals.
