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.
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of
the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and
creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than
doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information
with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the
classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like
assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will
adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy
and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world,
there aren’t enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem
could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired, or move
somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are
leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace

teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to do things like organise and
answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work,
including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking
homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do
best.

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.
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or
backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use
their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change
strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying,
for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be
aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up”
strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be
unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may
be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They
often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on
time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-
achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are
important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks,
ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.
