(40 points) TASK 1 In Turkey, one out of ten people could read or write in the 1920s. Teachers were especially needed in Turkey’s small towns and villages. At first, the Turkish government brought young people to the cities for training as teachers. But the new teachers enjoyed city life so much that they often refused to return to the small villages.

Today, almost half of the people in Turkey can read and write. Mexico, too, had the problem of a large population that could not read or write.

Every person between 18 and 60 who could read and write had to teach another person between 6 and 40 to read and write. In this way, each student had his or her own teacher!
