3 ___ /10
Nowadays, most people go to school to get new skills and
knowledge, like maths or languages. This is an example of
formal learning, where teachers organise the learning
experience. Some people go to university to increase their
knowledge and get qualifications. Many companies also
organise training for their staff, with subjects like how to use
computer programs or how to get on with colleagues.

4 ___
This is learning which doesn’t happen in a formal context.
There’s no teacher to help you and there aren’t any
qualifications. But you can select the time, the place and the
subject. If you think about it, we do this all the time. For
example, if you don’t know how to boil an egg, you can look
in a cookery book. There are many ways of learning
informally, but one of the most useful is the internet.
