Task 1 (Introduction)

1- Give the general ideas of the two first paragraphs.

- The transition from high school to college involves a significant increase in the level and depth of
research required for papers. College professors expect students to refine their research skills and go
beyond basic information provided by sources like encyclopedias.

- College professors build on the research skills taught in high school but require students to delve
deeper, gather evidence from diverse sources, and form their own opinions.

2- What are, according to you, the differences between secondary schools and universities?

explore broader and more diverse resources.

school.

3- To what extent does research differentiate from high school and college?
