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

It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school. British students are helped by careers teachers, who inform them about different careers, the qualifications needed, and try to help them make up their minds. Mr. Hemmings, a careers teacher as well as a history teacher, talks about his experience.

"I've been a careers teacher for around five years and, on the whole, I've found it a rewarding experience. Our students, who are 15 and 16 years old, have careers lessons once a week. My task consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as the type of work and personal skills involved.

Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to do, or of what the real world outside school really is. They come to me and say 'I don't like ordinary office jobs. I'd like to do something that is exciting and pays well.' What can I say to him? That we're running out of exciting jobs? But they usually end up facing reality and come down to the senses after a while.

Anyway, here in school, we only give them advice according to what we know about their favourite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are changing so quickly around here that sometimes you just don't know what best to say. A few days ago, I asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind, and he replied 'I haven't got any plans. You see, Sir, I don't know what new jobs will replace today's'. What could I say to him?"

What does Mr. Hemmings say about his job as a careers teacher?
  • It is a stressful job.
  • It is an easy job.
  • It is a challenging experience.
  • It is a rewarding experience.
How often do British students have careers lessons?
  • Once a fortnight
  • Twice a month
  • Twice a week
  • Once a week
