Page 3
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, who are 15 and 16 years old, have careers lessons once a week. My task consists of explaining as
accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the type of 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 ordinary office jobs. I’d like to
do something that is exciting and pays well.’ What can I say to him? That we’re running out of exciting jobs? But
they usually end up facing reality and come down to the senses after a while.
Anyway, here in school, we only give them advice according to what we know about their favourite and
weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are changing so quickly around here that
sometimes you just don’t know what best 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 got any plans. You see, Sir, I don’t know what new jobs will replace today’s’.
What could I say to him?”
Question 33. What does Mr. Hemmings say about his job as a careers teacher?
A. It is a stressful job. B. It is an easy job.
C. It is a challenging experience. D. It is a rewarding experience.
Question 34. How often do British students have careers lessons?
A. Once a fortnight B. Twice a month C. Twice a week D. Once a week
Question 35. The word accurately in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to .
A. frequently B. exactly C. usually D. incorrectly
Question 36. The word They in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. the senses B. some youngsters C. personal skills D. office jobs
Question 37. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Merits of British careers teachers and their students in career advice
B. Challenges faced by British careers teachers and their students in career advice
C. Rewards for British careers teachers and their students in career advice
D. Excitements among British careers teachers and their students in career advice
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to the
original one in each of the following questions.
Question 38. Learning English is very easy.
A. It is very easy to learn English. B. It is very easy learning English.
C. It isn’t very easy learning English. D. It isn’t very easy to learn English.
Question 39. Minh isn’t as good at maths as Phong.
A. Minh studies maths as well as Phong. B. Phong studies maths worse than Minh.
C. Phong is better at maths than Minh. D. Minh is better at maths than Phong.
Question 40. “Do you sometimes go for a walk in the park?” he asked us.

B. He advised us if we sometimes go for a walk in the park.
