Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students will study
most regular classes such as maths, science and history online. Students will probably learn these subjects
anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problems with a subject? They might connect
with a teacher through live video conferencing. Expert teachers from learning centres will give students help
wherever they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning social skills.
Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each other. Their main role
will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work will teach students important life skills about the world they live in. This will help students
become an important part of their communities. Some experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in
schools. Some say it will take longer. Most people agree, though, that computers will change education the way
TVs and telephones changed life for people all over the world years before.

answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.
You know what they say; find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life. So, if you are
thinking about what to do with your life, this may be something to consider. Choosing a career can be difficult.
Especially because there are so many jobs to choose from and many things to think about, such as qualifications
and financial rewards. So how do you pick a career? The only answer seems to be "choose one that makes you
feel that you are getting paid for doing something you truly love".
Unless you have grown up with a talent or are keen on something that you can make a career out of, you
need to consider certain things about yourself. What suits your personality? We are all different and just
because your best friend wants to be a doctor, this does not mean that you should follow. You need to make an
informed decision. This means thinking carefully about the path you need to follow to get that job. Are you
willing to get the training or education needed? You must also consider why you really want to do it. If it's just
because it's well paid, then sometime in the future you are going to feel 'empty', even with a healthy bank
account.
Nowadays, there are plenty of online career sites, but the main part has to come from you. You need to be
honest and measure your skills and talents realistically. Also, you may need to talk to your parents who have
their own ideas, based on their own experiences, about what you should do. They have your best interests at
heart. They don't want to see you having financial problems or being unemployed. But at the end of the day, it
is your life. There is no point in being miserable for the next forty years just to please someone else.
Question 41: Which could be the best title for the passage?
