Getting work experience is a good way for young people who are still at school to see whether they
would enjoy a particular career. Future employers like to know about their work experience (26)
they think is important for them in the process of recruiting employees. And young people get the chance
to consider (27)
possibilities for a future career with working professionals. In addition, they will
find these professionals' advice specially helpful when thinking about the different choices they will
have to (28)
Work experience often involves uncomfortable situations, (29)
who are in such
situations can learm how to behave appropriately in front of clients and how topeople
respond to things in
workplace. Appearance is also important and they need to dress suitably whether they are going for a jobthe
as
an engineer or an IT specialist, or a job which is perhaps less technical but equally (30)
medical doctor or a teacher.

Device-centred communication has become almost universal over thepast twenty ycars. More than three
quarters of people in the world now own a mobile device, and more
than half communicate via social
networking.
It is now hard to imagine a world without mobile devices
consisting of such things as mobile phones,
laptops and tablets. They allow us to stay in touch with a large network
of friends, no matter where they are.
But many experts say that communicating with a device is nothing like
talking with someone in person.
"Body language, cye contact and tone of voice can tell us so much," psychologist
Mary Peters says. "And
none of those exist on a device. Even video chat removes many subtle clues."

We don't know to what extent these technologies will
permanently change the way people interact.
People will always want to meet up with others in small and large
media makes it easier than ever before for people to organise socialgroups. Indeed, it is fair to say that social
events. However, there is still a danger
that device-centred communication may have a negative
long-term
impact
on the way people interact with
cach other on a day-to-day basis.

We must not, therefore, lose sight of the need to focus on the actual people around us, and remember that
they deserve our real - not virtual - attention. The idea of a culture where people always have a screen

between them sounds a bit funny, because deep understanding comes when we see the reactions on other
people's faces.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each ofthe questions from 36 to 42.
A recent survey into how teenagers in a Southeast Asian country spend their free time has come up with

what some people regard as a surprising finding: many of those surveyed reported that they would ather stay
at home and do things indoors than go out and experience real-life adventures. One in four teenagers
surveyed believed that online experiences were as fulfilling as real life, and more than half were actually

afraid of trying new experiences. When asked about their most memorable experience over the previous ten
months, nearly 30% of boys said playing a new video game', while 10% of all teenagers said it was
watching a new TV series. On asking for more detailed information, researchers found that 20% of boys and
22% of girls said they had never had a real-life adventure.

It would be casy to blame technological advances for these findings. After all, today's teenagers have
many more indoor activities to choose from than did their parents. About half a century ago, children were

expected to spend more of their free time outside. But researchers do not put the blame wholly on technology.

To members of older generations, these findings are worrying, because it means that young people

increasingly rely on virtual reality and are consequently missing out on real outdoor activities such as
mountain climbing, kayaking, etc., which have always been regarded as both enjoyable and character
building. The surveyed adults said they thought today's youth were more protected than they had been when
they were growing up. Giving examples of this protection, more than half said they would not let their
teenage children hitchhike or go on holiday ithout an adult. Seven in ten said they would not even allow
teenagers to get into a taxion their own. It is not clear whether adults believe the world is more dangerous

than it used to be or whether they do not trust today's youngsters to look ater themselves.
