  His will of learning english is beyond reach.

句子：

• The scheme, introduced this year, offers smart pupils from tough backgrounds who don’t have the requisite grades a free， year-long course before they go through the regular application process for entry the following year.
  这里的free和year-long并列修饰course。offer sb.sth.
• Access is a problem in nearly all good universities, but Oxford, which is the world’s best according to a recent ranking by Times Higher Education magazine, and the alma mater of seven of the past ten British prime ministers, gets criticised for it more often than most.
  并列句。两句话，第二句主语是Oxford，谓语是gets
• Critics sayOxford has been slow toputin placethe long-term programmsworking with young children which research suggests are the best way to increase participation.
  这个句子又是一个长难句。Critics say是主句，后面是宾语从句，宾语从句的主干是Oxford has been slow to do sth，oxford作某事太慢了。后面put in place the long-term programms这里put后面出现了宾语后置的使用，因为宾语programs后面的修饰语太长了，正常的语序是put the long-term programms in place。
  Oxford has been slow to put the long-term programms in place
  working with young children 是分词修饰progrmms，which research suggests are the best way to increase participation 这里which引导的定语从句也是修饰programms的，定语从句中的research suggests是插入语，可以删掉.有些批评者指出牛津在实施长期方案，即研究指出能够增加参与率的方案时，行动缓慢。
