Find every verb in these texts and identify that verb is a regular or iregular verb and
also identify the verb according to the type of tenses (V1, V2, V3).
Higher Education
P1: Many countries in the developed and rapidly developing world 1have come to the
realisation that a far greater number of a country's population 2need to 3be at university or
other places of higher education to 4ensure that their knowledge-based economies 5can
compete with others. At the same time, there is a strong feeling that universities, traditionally
made up of small elites, need to ensure that disadvantaged groups get equal access. The effect
of all this has been the ballooning of student numbers in Higher Education in the last ten
years in many countries from Australia, to South Korea, to Britain, to Canada and to others.
P2: As numbers rose inexorably, so have costs. Who is to foot the bill? The answer has been
increasingly that costs must be transferred to the individual, as the state sector just does not
have the capacity to fund the expansion that is required. Fees have gone up and will have to
continue to rise. Many people who want access to all that a tertiary education offers have
found that they will be faced with large mountains of debt upon graduation. The question that
needs to be asked is whether fee hikes have discouraged entrance, particularly among those
who would suffer the greatest financial hardship.
P3: The evidence is unclear. Australia and New Zealand were early introducers of increased
fees. The former introduced HECS, which is a combined tuition fee and income-contingent
student loan scheme. The latter introduced and then deregulated student fees. In both cases,
participation levels were largely unaffected by the changes, especially among lower-income
families.
P4: A more recent trend has been the adoption of student loan schemes which take the form
of soft loans, popularly tagged "study now, pay later". Many argue that social equity is
damaged by the costs; people from poorer backgrounds will baulk at the costs involved and
fail to enroll at universities. However, some argue that soft loan schemes are more equitable
because those who have incurred debts during their studies stand a greater chance of repaying
the loans through 6 to obtain better-paid jobs.
P5: At a time when many governments are strapped for cash, a shift to "study now, pay later"
schemes will free up funds that could be used to remove barriers at earlier levels of
education.
Passports
P1: We tend to think of the passport as ordinary and natural, a common fact of existence. But
in reality, the passport is a relatively modern invention and its development has been spurred
by war and social conflict.
P2: In the new global war on terror, the technology of the passport will once again be
upgraded. In the not so distant future, travellers heading out of Australia will have a passport,
equipped, not just with the usual small colour photograph, but with some form of biometric
identification. It may be a scan of the passport holders' right iris for example, since each iris
is unique and unmistakable, and can be rendered in digital form as a complex set of numbers
and stored in a database. So no one need ever be mistaken for anyone else again. Passport
fraud will be all but eliminated - and in the words of political scientist and historian of the
passport, John Torpey, we may all become prisoners of our own identities.
P3: In this age of jumbo jets and mass tourism, it has become easier and easier to move about
the world. But as the physical restrictions on travel are reduced, so the bureaucratic barriers
and filters on human movement are refined. The success of any given journey will depend on
what kind of passport, if any, you hold.
Communications
P1: It is important to bear in mind that our ability to communicate effectively over long
distances with other people on our planet is a relatively new development. The increase in
ease of global communicatio n has been phenomenal, something we are all too unappreciative
of. We take it for granted that we can as easily place a call to Beijing or Kyoto or Pusan from
another continent as we can call up our relatives i n the next town. The telephone can be used
to call for help, to arrange a meeting, to hire an employee, t o transfer money and to do a
thousand and one other things. Now we can do the same with handheld mobile phones or
other pieces of electronic equipment like the fax or the computer.
P2: It was not always the case. Take, for example, the United States of America. Domestic
telephone servi ces have been in place for over a century but calls overseas were, until
recently, fraught with difficulties. After the war, calls to Asia and Europe used to rely on
short-wave radio signals that bounced off the iono sphere, the electrically active layer of the
atmosphere that lies between 50 and 250 miles above the eart h's surface. Setting up a call
involved hours of preparation and, when the call was made, sound quality w as often affected
by static.
P3: Subsequent developments have been rapid as moves were made through cop per wire
cable, through satellite technology to present-day fibre optic cables.
P4: With computer communications, it is now possible to send text and images, w hich are, in
many ways, superior to reliance on the human voice. In addition, if yo u need help but are not
sure where that help might be found, you can search the World Wide Web for information or,
if unsuccessful, send out a message to a chat group or bulletin board soliciting help. This
could involve mundane things or mat ters of far greater importance. Medical doctors are now
wont to post details of co mplex medical conditions online in the hope that fellow
practitioners might be ab le to offer insights or point them in the direction of help.
P5: Truly global communications have become a significant force for good in the modern
world
