 SIXTEEN – WHAT NOW?
You’re 16 and finally you can leave school! By now, you’re probably sick of teachers, desks,
tests and exams. But don’t just run for the exit. You need to think carefully about what to do next.
If you want a professional career, you will need to go to university and get a degree. To do that,
you need to stay at high school for another two years. But you needn’t stay at the same place. There
are several options in the district of Northacre.
St. Leopold’s School has the best pass rate of all the high schools in the district. It offers a wide range
of subjects in the humanities and sciences. St Leopold’s is, of course, a private school, so may be too
expensive for you. But don’t worry, there are several other options if you want to follow the academic
route. Knowle Grammar School is a state school, so there are no fees, and it has excellent tuition and
facilities. It is a boys’ school from the ages of 11-16, but from 16-18 it is co-educational. But it is
selective, so you’ll have to pass an exam to get in. If you’re interested in going into Business, check
out Wyle River Academy. This school specialises in subjects like Business Studies, Management and
Economics. If you prefer the arts, look at the courses on offer at Northacre College. Here you can
study woodwork, art, textiles and much more.
Northacre College also offers a wide range of vocational qualifications. You can do a 1-year
certificate or a 2-year diploma in subjects like electrics, plumbing, roofing and hairdressing. If you’d
prefer to work outdoors, look at Milldown College, where there are courses in Farm Mechanics, Land
Management, Animal Management and much more.
A final option is to get an apprenticeship with a local or national company. You will get on-the-
job training, gain certificates or diplomas and start earning straight away. But be warned - places are
limited! Find out more at the Jobs Fair on 26th May at Northacre College.

IV.READING
A. Read the text and question below. For each question, choose A, B, C or D.
Without a doubt, the most important part of any job application is the resume. Along with a
cover letter, it is the first impression a prospective employee makes on a potential employer. Therefore,
it is important that a resume provide as much relevant information as possible while remaining brief. A
resume shuld be no more than one full side of a sheet of paper. All too many candidates make the
mistake of submitting several pages which, more often than not, don’t even get a second glance.
A resume must be neatly printed, with at least threequarter inch margins on all four sides. Use
underlining, capital letters and asterisks to highlight important information. A resume should be
singlespace with an extra line between blocks of information.
Begin a resume with your name, address, and contact information (e.g; telephone or fax
numbers, email address). Do not include age, marital status, or other personal facts. Next, many resume
state the position sought or career goal. Then comes perhaps the most important part: a chronological
outline of work experiencestating with the most recent job and working backwardsincluding for each
position a brief description of relevant duties and skills used or acquired. Finally, include an outline of
your educational background from the most recent backwards. Make sure to list dates of completion,
full names and locations (if not common knowledge) of schools, and diplomas or certificates awarded.
21. The most important part of any job application is a …………………

III. READING
A. Read the text and question below. For each question, choose A, B, C or D.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a
language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which the motions stand for
letters, words and ideas. Tourist, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression.
Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally;
spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod
signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with
fingertips), signal flags. Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn,
and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express
human thoughts and feelings.
21. Which of the following best summarize the passage?

III. READING
A. Read the text and question below. For each question, choose A, B, C or D.
The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1 st, 1995, aims to encourage
international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and
that any disputes can be settled. In the five years since its founding, the WTO has beecome well known
as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank
and International Monetary Fund. The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates
back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was formed
after World War II. As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks  the
limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the socalled Uruguay Round finally gave birth
to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules covering trade
in services and intellectual property. Even after seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of
agreements reached, problems remained, especially in the difficulttodealwith areas of agriculture
and services.
