QCM : Student Life in the UK (17 questions)

Questions et réponses du QCM

1. What did Hermina do to overcome culture shock after moving from Albania to Edinburgh?

She avoided student activities until she felt more confident.
She focused on learning the local accent before making friends.
She returned home because the experience felt unbearable.
She became a class representative to challenge herself.

She became a class representative to challenge herself.

Explication

Hermina challenged herself by becoming a class representative after experiencing culture shock in Edinburgh. The idea that the experience was unbearable belongs to the negative letter, not to Hermina’s response.

2. How did becoming a class representative affect Hermina’s experience at university?

It made her feel homesick and less involved with other students.
It allowed her to avoid social situations and concentrate on lessons.
It encouraged her to return home and abandon university activities.
It helped her feel connected and develop interpersonal skills.

It helped her feel connected and develop interpersonal skills.

Explication

The role connected Hermina more closely to the student community and helped her develop interpersonal skills. Homesickness has the opposite effect because it can reduce a student’s feeling of belonging.

3. What did Amanda’s international experience inspire her to do?

Return to New Jersey because local cultures seemed unfamiliar.
Stop communicating with international students in her community.
Concentrate on local traditions without exploring other cultures.
Learn a new language after meeting people from many countries.

Learn a new language after meeting people from many countries.

Explication

Amanda met people from different parts of the world, discovered new cultures, and became inspired to learn another language. Her experience is presented as an opportunity for cultural connection rather than withdrawal.

4. Which sentence uses “should” to give advice to an international student?

You should join student communities.
You can join student communities.
You must join student communities.
You joined student communities.

You should join student communities.

Explication

“Should” is used to recommend an action, so “You should join student communities” gives advice. “Must” expresses a stronger obligation, while “can” expresses ability or permission.

5. Which sentence uses the affirmative imperative correctly to give advice?

You must going to the Oracle if you want to eat out.
Go to the Oracle if you want to eat out.
Going to the Oracle if you want to eat out.
You should went to the Oracle if you want to eat out.

Go to the Oracle if you want to eat out.

Explication

The affirmative imperative uses the base verb, as in “Go to the Oracle.” The other sentences use an incorrect verb form or a modal followed by the wrong form.

6. How is the negative imperative formed in English?

Don’t followed by the base verb or an object.
Didn’t followed by the verb in the past tense.
Shouldn’t followed by the verb ending in -ing.
Mustn’t followed by the verb in the past participle.

Don’t followed by the base verb or an object.

Explication

The negative imperative is formed with “Don’t” followed by a base verb or an object, as in “Don’t worry.” The other patterns use different structures and do not form the standard negative imperative.

7. Which combination of experiences characterizes the positive letter?

Finding bland food, struggling with accents, facing constant rain, and wanting to return home.
Feeling isolated, leaving university, refusing local activities, and missing familiar food.
Avoiding local people, rejecting new cultures, disliking London, and losing interest in English.
Improving English, making international friends, enjoying local food, and living in London.

Improving English, making international friends, enjoying local food, and living in London.

Explication

The positive letter presents integration through better English, friendships with people from other countries, local food, and life in London. The second combination describes the negative letter rather than the positive one.

8. What does “must” express in the sentence “You must buy a ticket home”?

An obligation to buy a ticket home.
An ability to buy a ticket home.
A prediction that a ticket will be bought at home.
A suggestion to consider buying a ticket home.

An obligation to buy a ticket home.

Explication

“Must” expresses obligation, so the sentence presents buying a ticket as something required. “Can” would express ability, while “should” would present advice rather than an obligation.

9. Which sentence correctly uses the present continuous to describe an action in progress?

She has learn English in London.
She learned English in London now.
She learns English in London yesterday.
She is learning English in London.

She is learning English in London.

Explication

The present continuous is formed with a form of “be” followed by a verb ending in “-ing,” as in “is learning.” The other choices use incompatible or incorrect verb forms for an action in progress.

10. Which combination best describes cultural differences that French students may notice when arriving at a British university?

Warmer weather, identical food, clearer accents, and familiar university life
Colder weather, familiar food, easier accents, and more formal university life
Colder weather, different food, difficult accents, and unfamiliar university life
Different weather, identical food, familiar accents, and unfamiliar university buildings

Colder weather, different food, difficult accents, and unfamiliar university life

Explication

Students may encounter colder and rainier weather, unfamiliar food, difficult accents, and a university environment that differs from what they know. The other combinations alter several of these characteristic cultural shocks.

11. Which expression describes adapting to British weather, food, language, or school life?

Feel sick
Look forward to
Get used to
Take after

Get used to

Explication

“Get used to” expresses the process of becoming accustomed to something, such as British weather or university life. “Feel sick” describes a physical reaction rather than cultural adaptation.

12. How should a learner form the comparative of a long adjective in English?

Use the adjective without any comparative marker
Place the adjective between as and as
Add -er to the adjective and than after it
Use more before the adjective and than after it

Use more before the adjective and than after it

Explication

Long adjectives form the comparative with “more + adjective + than.” The “adjective + -er + than” pattern applies to short adjectives, while the other patterns express different structures or do not form a comparative.

13. Why did British universities consider restoring the Erasmus exchange programme after Brexit?

To prevent EU students from studying at British universities
To replace European students with students from British universities
To make international exchanges shorter and more expensive
To bring European students back and reopen exchange opportunities

To bring European students back and reopen exchange opportunities

Explication

Restoring Erasmus was considered as a way to attract European students again and revive exchange opportunities. The proposal aimed to increase mobility, not restrict access or make exchanges less accessible.

14. What was one consequence of Brexit for students who had used Erasmus?

The United Kingdom kept Erasmus unchanged for students from every country
The United Kingdom joined a larger Erasmus programme with more EU placements
The United Kingdom left the European Union, and Erasmus no longer existed for them
The United Kingdom replaced Erasmus with a programme lasting four weeks

The United Kingdom left the European Union, and Erasmus no longer existed for them

Explication

Brexit meant that the United Kingdom left the European Union, and Erasmus was no longer available for these students. A four-week programme was associated with the later alternative, not with Erasmus continuing unchanged.

15. Why was the post-Brexit alternative considered a failure?

Universities admitted fewer applicants, and travel became more frequent
Students had to pay more, and the programme lasted only four weeks
Students studied fewer subjects, and the programme covered more countries
Students received less support, and the programme lasted several years

Students had to pay more, and the programme lasted only four weeks

Explication

The alternative was judged unsuccessful because it was more expensive for students and lasted only four weeks. The other answers introduce consequences not identified as the reasons for its failure.

16. Why can studying in the United Kingdom be an amazing experience for a student?

It can eliminate homesickness and guarantee a successful career
It can make university work easier and remove cultural differences
It can improve the student’s CV and create many opportunities
It can provide permanent employment and avoid academic challenges

It can improve the student’s CV and create many opportunities

Explication

Studying in the United Kingdom can strengthen a student’s CV while opening access to many opportunities. Homesickness may instead make the experience feel negative, and studying abroad does not guarantee permanent employment.

17. Which pair illustrates two opportunities available to students studying in the United Kingdom?

Learning fewer skills and limiting contact with international students
Avoiding work experience and staying within one social group
Leaving university early and replacing study with permanent employment
Finding employment and meeting people from different continents

Finding employment and meeting people from different continents

Explication

Students may find employment and meet people from different continents, combining work opportunities with the development of an international network. The other pairs contradict the described benefits of studying in the United Kingdom.
