a) In recent years teachers and parents have become more concerned about the problem of bullying (bully). Bullying happens when one pupil (or a group) threatens and sometimes physically (physics) attacks a younger, weaker, quieter and more timid pupil. This type of behaviour (behave) is now considered a serious offence (offend), and articles have been published in the national (nation) press about the terrible effects that bullying can have on young people. The victim of bullying can suffer psychologically (psychology) and the school can suffer too. Persistent (persist) bullying of other pupils can lead to the bully being excluded. Exclusion is the worst possible punishment (punish) in a British school.

b) As everyone is aware, the law in most countries nowadays demands that all children receive an education (educate). However, did you know that a number of parents make special arrangements (arrange) to educate their children at home? This happens mainly (main) in cases where the child has serious health problems or learning difficulties (difficult), or is especially (special) gifted. Whatever the reason, there are certainly (certain) some advantages to educating children at home. First, they can learn at their own speed, spending more time on the subjects they find laborious (labour). What is more, it is easier for them to concentrate since they don’t have the distraction (distract) of the noisy (noise) classmates. Finally (final), they learn more in a one-to-one situation (situate), as they get the full attention (attend) of the teacher.
