Read the following passage and make the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions that follow
It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school. British students are
helped by careers teachers, who inform them about different careers, qualifications needs and try to help them
make up their minds. Mr. Hemmings, a careers teacher as well as a History teacher, talks about his experience.
“I’ve been a careers teacher for around five years and, on the whole, I’ve found it a rewarding experience. Our
students have careers lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 or 16 years old). My task
consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the type OS
work and personal skills involved.
Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to do, or of
what the real world outside school really is. They come to me and say “I don’t like routine nine- to-five jobs...
I’d like something exciting that pays well...” What I can say? That we’re running out of exciting jobs? But they
usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a while...
Anyway here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know about their favorite and
weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are happening so quickly around here,
with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you don’t know what to say. A few days ago I asked a fifteen-
year-old boy what job he had in mind and he replied “I haven’t any plans...You see, Sir, I don’t know what new
jobs will replace today’s” What could I say?

Question 30. How often do British students have careers lessons?

Question 31. Why is it difficult to advise teenagers?
A. Some of them don’t know that careers they want. B. Teenagers have no idea of what exciting jobs are.
C. Many youngsters never go outside of their houses. D. Many teenagers only like doing jobs that pay
well.
