Read the following article and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 25.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

Even though government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

Read the following article and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 25.

During your last years of high school, it’s likely you’ll be confronted with two choices in regards to further education: vocational education and higher education. While higher education, also known as tertiary education, is the more common path to go down, vocational education and training is a good alternative if you find that academia isn’t your strong suit.

Some people believe that those who choose vocational training will mean that you’re less likely to find a high-paying job. This is incorrect. For students, vocational training is a way to find a job that can offer an income just as high as any university graduate position - sometimes ever higher. However, this obviously depends on which area you decide to go in. In fact, the labour market shows that there is a high demand for technicians and people in the trade, since most high school graduates go towards higher education institutions. In contrast, the number of people who go into vocational training has remained steady for the past twenty years.

The courses in vocational training are generally shorter than university courses. Typically, associate degrees take about two years full-time. It can even take as little as a year to complete. Because of this, vocational students spend less money on their education than university students, who spend four years on a bachelor’s degree on average.

These courses also provide you with onsite training, which will give you the experience employers crave. A common complaint among university graduates is that they can’t find jobs because they don’t have any experience yet. With vocational training, you don’t have to worry about that! In fact, you can get started right away as soon as you get your job. No on-the-job training required. Because of this, students who complete a vocational course have higher chances of getting a job compared to university graduates.

A. Vocational training offers lower quality education than higher education.

Read the following article and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 25.

If you’re asking yourself, “what are employability skills?” STEMNET (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Network) defines this term as “transferable skills needed by an individual to make them employable.” Employability relates to your knowledge, skills, and attitudes, how you use those assets, and how you present them to employers in today’s context.

Today, your education and experience may only be enough to qualify for a job, but to be successful in most roles in the field of emerging technologies, you will need soft skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These soft skills that will equip you to carry out your role in the company to the best of your ability are also referred to as employability skills.

The building blocks of any career, these skills are what make you employable across various roles, sectors, and industries. Employers usually want to see that you already have these soft skills before hiring, because they are much harder to teach.

Personal characteristics, habits, and attitudes influence how you interact with others. Employers value employability skills because they regard these as indications of how you get on with other team members and customers, and how efficiently you are likely to handle your job performance and career success.

Employers value these unique qualities in their potential employees because they have always been necessary for an effective and smoothly functioning workforce. Enterprises spend a large amount of time and money developing these foundational and work-readiness skills. But in today’s world, where jobs are limited, employers enjoy more options and would like to hire a technical expert who also displays well-rounded employability skills.
