 It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. 
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to 
school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is 
important.
 Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education 
knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, 
whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes 
place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of 
education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on 
the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain 
predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a 
stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People 
receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is very broad, inclusive term; it is a 
lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should 
be a necessary part of one’s entire life.
 Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general 
pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at 
school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar 
textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be 
learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of 
governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school 
students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political 
problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There 
are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42. 
 A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
 The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information 
by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized 
communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through 
choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the 
rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are 
flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the 
utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or 
fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and 
feelings over and above the words chosen, or may believe them. Here, the 
participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or 
antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of 
which are usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of 
communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects 
by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of 
singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to 
create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic 
communication. 
 Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of 
others, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is 
confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few 
personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, 
 4 for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker 
perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation 
can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the 
speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the 
happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities 
of the depressed.
