    Education and study


    Complete the text below with the school subjects. Use the letters in brackets to help you.
    1
    There are lots of different subjects
    you can study at university. If you are
    good at (1) .................. (gauselnag),
    you may decide to study French,
    Arabic or Chinese. If you like learning
    about how things work, then you
    probably find science subjects
    such as (2) ................ (gibyolo),
    (3) ................ (myshecrit) or
    (4) ................ (shycips) interesting.
    People who are interested in things
    which happened a long time ago
    should study (5) ................ (osriyth),
    but if you prefer learning about rivers, mountains and the different countries of the world, then you
    should choose (6) ................ (regopaygh). People who are good with numbers often decide to study
    (7) ................ (shacamittem), and those who want to become doctors take a course in
    (8) ................ (necmidei).

    Exam task
    For each question, choose the correct answer.

    My three favourite school subjects, by Annabelle Plume
    A Biology
    I love biology because we discuss all kinds of important things. The time passes quickly in class and
    usually we don’t finish our work before the end of the lesson. Then we have to take it home to do. That’s
    OK because we download free videos and write notes about what we learn. Sometimes in class we use
    special equipment to do tests. I really enjoy this activity because we’re allowed to choose who we work
    with, and my two best friends and I can be together.
    B Geography
    I’ve always loved geography because I’m really interested in different places in the world. We sometimes
    go into the playground to draw the countryside around the school, but it’s a pity we can’t do trips to
    places like the beach or the mountains. The teacher gave everyone in the group a textbook to take
    home, but we had to get our own colouring pens and pay for a software program for drawing maps.
    C History
    I didn’t use to enjoy history that much, but now I love watching programmes about the subject in my
    free time. So far this year, our group has been to two museums, and I think we’ll visit a few other places
    before the end of the year. At the moment, we’re studying the history of medicine and learning about
    some very strange medicines and equipment. The teacher gives us information and we have to write lots
    of notes in our exercise books. If we want, we can draw a few pictures for homework.

    Exam tips
    • Quickly read the texts before you answer the questions.
    • The questions are not in the same order as the information in the texts.
    • Read the questions and the texts carefully.
    • Don’t think an answer is right just because you see the same word in the text and the question.
