This month, Teen Talk magazine has received many letters from secondary school students asking about the different options for school-leavers. We've talked to educational experts, and they think that young people should either continue their studies at a college or university or go to a vocational school. Higher education is really for people who want formal learning in order to get an academic degree. If you are good at certain subjects and need a degree related to those subjects, then university is the right choice for you. Besides studying, university students also have the opportunity to live independently, make new friends, and join different clubs. Many students still manage to work part-time during their university years. In addition, college or university students usually have an advantage over students from vocational schools when it comes to further studies after a degree. They will also have broader career options and an advantage in the job market. If you are not interested in traditional academic subjects and want to work in a specific trade, then vocational education is the right choice for you. You will gain the practical skills and knowledge necessary for a specific job. In addition, a vocational school may also offer you an apprenticeship. This type of training not only provides students with hands-on experience, but also gives them wages to cover their living costs. Most importantly, vocational training is usually much shorter than a college or university course. After getting their vocational qualifications, graduates can immediately start work and earn a salary. There are a lot of educational opportunities for school-leavers today. You can choose from hundreds of vocational schools or higher education institutions to continue your educational journey. Question 29: What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Advantages of University Education B. Vocational Training vs. Higher Education C. Educational Options for School-Leavers D.

Living independently D. Earning a high salary Question 33: What does the word "This" in the third paragraph refer to? A. Vocational education B. Apprenticeship C. Practical skills D. Specific job Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40. Online education is a way of learning that is becoming more and more popular every year. Instead of physically going to a classroom, students can attend classes and complete coursework using just a computer or mobile device connected to the internet. Online classes allow students to learn from anywhere in the world. There are many advantages to online education. One of the biggest benefits is flexibility. Students can study whenever and wherever is convenient for them. They don't need to commute to a school campus or rearrange their schedule to attend classes at fixed times. This makes it much easier for working adults or parents to get an education while balancing other responsibilities. Another key advantage is accessibility. By eliminating geographic barriers, online courses open up more educational opportunities. Students living in remote areas or those with limited mobility can access programs they may not have been able to attend in-person. Universities can share their courses with a global audience through online platforms. In addition to flexibility and accessibility, online education can be more affordable than traditional on- campus learning. There are no costs for commuting, campus housing, or many of the other fees colleges
