The course aims to provide students with the English language and study skills that they need in order to be successful at university or another academic establishment. It is important to note that completion of the course does not guarantee students entrance into a university. It is necessary for students to show during the course that they have understood the information and skills that they have been taught, and can incorporate it into their work. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pre-sessional students at Gateway Academy will benefit from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Small class sizes (no more than 10 students per class)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Twenty-three hours of tuition per week<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Individual support and tutorials<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Regular guest lecturers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The use of the Academy\u2019s study and recreational facilities, including the Language Library, the computer suite, and the academy\u2019s sports facilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A varied social programme including evening entertainments and weekend excursions to popular tourist attractions and cities such as Stonehenge, Oxford and Stratford-on-Avon.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The course offers a holistic approach to learning and covers reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. During the course, students will receive instruction on important techniques such as summary-writing, analysing essay titles, organising writing, note-taking in lectures, giving seminars and making presentations. Students will gain experience in working both individually and in groups. As part of the course, all students will work towards a 5000-word project in their own field of study. Students will receive guidance from their tutors on how best to conduct research and write it up effectively. Students will also work towards a presentation on the same subject. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is no final examination. Students are assessed continuously, taking into account their attendance, successful completion of assignments and participation in class.

This was certainly the case when Copernicus published his theory \u2013 that the earth was not the centre of the universe. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B.<\/strong>\u00a0Until the early 16th century, western thinkers believed the theory put forward by Ptolemy, an Egyptian living in Alexandria in about 150 A.D. His theory, which was formulated by gathering and organizing the thoughts of the earlier thinkers, proposed that the universe was a closed space bounded by a spherical envelope beyond which there was nothing. The earth, according to Ptolemy, was a fixed and immobile mass, located at the centre of the universe. The sun and the stars revolved around it. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C.<\/strong>\u00a0The theory appealed to human nature. Someone making casual observations as they looked into the sky might come to a similar conclusion. It also fed the human ego. Humans could believe that they were at the centre of God\u2019s universe, and the sun and stars were created for their benefit. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>D.<\/strong>\u00a0Ptolemy\u2019s theory, was of course, incorrect, but at the time nobody contested it. European astronomers were more inclined to save face. Instead of proposing new ideas, they attempted to patch up and refine Ptolemy\u2019s flawed model. Students were taught using a book called The Sphere which had been written two hundred years previously. In short, astronomy failed to advance. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>E.<\/strong>\u00a0In 1530, however, Mikolaj Kopernik, more commonly known as Copernicus, made an assertion which shook the world. He proposed that the earth turned on its axis once per day, and travelled around the sun once per year. Even when he made his discovery, he was reluctant to make it public, knowing how much his shocking revelations would disturb the church. However, George Rheticus, a German mathematics professor who had become Copernicus\u2019s student, convinced Copernicus to publish his ideas, even though Copernicus, a perfectionist, was never satisfied that his observations were complete. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>F.<\/strong>\u00a0Copernicus\u2019s ideas went against all the political and religious beliefs of the time. Humans, it was believed, were made in God\u2019s image, and were superior to all creatures. The natural world had been created for humans to exploit. Copernicus\u2019s theories contradicted the ideas of all the powerful churchmen of the time. Even the famous playwright William Shakespeare feared the new theory, pronouncing that it would destroy social order and bring chaos to the world. However, Copernicus never had to suffer at the hands of those who disagreed with his theories. He died just after the work was published in 1543. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>G.<\/strong>\u00a0However, the scientists who followed in Copernicus\u2019s footsteps bore the brunt of the church\u2019s anger. Two other Italian scientists of the time, Galileo and Bruno, agreed wholeheartedly with the Copernican theory. Bruno even dared to say that space was endless and contained many other suns, each with its own planets. For this, Bruno was sentenced to death by burning in 1600. Galileo, famous for his construction of the telescope, was forced to deny his belief in the Copernican theories. He escaped capital punishment, but was imprisoned for the rest of his life. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>H.\u00a0<\/strong>In time, however, Copernicus\u2019s work became more accepted. Subsequent scientists and mathematicians such as Brahe, Kepler and Newton took Copernicus\u2019s work as a starting point and used it to glean further truths about the laws of celestial mechanics. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>I.<\/strong>\u00a0The most important aspect of Copernicus\u2019 work is that it forever changed the place of man in the cosmos. With Copernicus\u2019 work, the man could no longer take that premier position which the theologians had immodestly assigned him. This was the first, but certainly not the last time in which man would have to accept his position as a mere part of the universe, not at the centre of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 28 \u2013 34<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The text has nine paragraphs,\u00a0<strong>A-I<\/strong>.
