Read the passage and choose the suitable word to fill in the blanks.
Around the age of sixteen, you must make one of the biggest decisions of your life. Do I stay on at school and hopefully, go on to university later? Do I leave and start work or begin a training ? The decision is yours, but it may be remembering two things: There is more unemployment among those who haven't been to university, and people who have the right skills will have a big advantage in the competition for jobs. If you decide to go straight into a job, there are opportunities for training. Getting qualifications will help you get on more quickly in many careers, and evening classes allow you to learn you earn. Starting work and taking a break to study when you are older is another possibility. This way, you can save up money for your student days, as well as practical work experience.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.
Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. However, in Britain as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else.

The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear _____.
