Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students will study
most regular classes such as maths, science and history online. Students will probably be able to study these
subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problems with a subject? They might
connect with a teacher through live video conferencing. Teachers from learning centres will give students help
wherever they live. Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning
social skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together and how to get along with each
other. They will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom. Volunteer work and
working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the world they live in. This will help
students become an important part of their communities. Some experts say it will take schools five years to
change. Others say it will take longer. Most people agree, though, that computers will change education like
the day when TVs and telephones have changed people's life.
