Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

After finishing university, many students ask themselves: "What skills should I learn to get a better job?" There are many choices, but two skills are especially important in today's work world: computer skills and communication skills. These two skills work well together and can really help your career grow.

Computer Skills: Very Important for Modern Jobs

Today, almost all jobs need some computer skills. In fact, 92% of jobs require workers to use technology. The good news is that learning these skills is easier now than before. You can take online classes on websites like Coursera or YouTube. You can start simple by learning Excel or Google Sheets to work with numbers and information, and later, you can learn more difficult things like Python programming.

Computer skills help you in many ways. You can use data to make smart decisions at work. You can also make boring, repeated tasks automatic so you save time. For example, if you know Excel well, you can finish work in minutes instead of hours. When you understand computers and business, employers will really want to hire you.

Communication Skills: Help You Move Up at Work

People who communicate well earn more money. Workers in communication jobs make about $70,300 per year, while the average worker makes $49,500. You can improve these skills by joining speaking clubs like Toastmasters, taking online classes, or asking to give presentations at work.

Good communication helps you explain difficult ideas in simple ways. It also helps you make friends with your coworkers and become a leader. When you can speak and write clearly, other people will ask for your help and advice. This skill also makes your computer skills more valuable – knowing how to present information is just as important as finding it.

Why are computer skills more accessible now than in the past?

  • Computers have become cheaper.
  • Schools teach them from primary level.
  • Companies outsource their technical tasks to experts.
  • Free and simple online lessons are available.

What is the main benefit of mastering Excel mentioned in the passage?

  • It can reduce work time from hours to minutes.
  • It helps you get promoted faster.
  • It makes you more popular with colleagues.
  • It increases your salary immediately.

The word "hire" in paragraph 3 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.

  • train
  • eliminate
  • employ
  • dismiss

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to improve communication skills?

  • Taking online courses
  • Reading communication books daily
  • Joining speaking clubs like Toastmasters
  • Volunteering to give presentations at work

What can be inferred about people who have both good communication and computer skills?

  • They can work better alone without support.
  • They will definitely become company leaders within one year.
  • They only focus on technical aspects of their job.
  • They are more likely to succeed and be respected at work.
