The world of work experience

Forget relaxing with friends. The end of the school year is a time for working for most fourteen- and fifteen-year-olds in the UK. Around half a million teenagers in the UK do work experience every summer. This is a useful way to find out which jobs you might enjoy in the future. It is also important when you apply for university, or get a job in the future. For example, if you want to study to be an engineer, you could do work experience with a car manufacturer. Other popular work experience placements are in teaching, marketing, media, and finance. Placements usually last two weeks. Some teenagers have no idea what job they want to do. In this case, they need to think about their passions. For example, if you are interested in music, you could work in a music shop. Alternatively, if you love animals, you could work on a farm.

My work experience: Hi, I’m Paul, and I’ve just done two weeks’ work experience on a farm near where I live. It was brilliant. I enjoyed giving the animals their food in the morning. I also made sure the animals had exercise and I kept everything clean. At night, I helped to put the animals inside. It was hard work but I loved it. I hope the farm will give me a job when I finish school.

                                       INSECTS - The superfood of the future

There are a lot of hungry people in the world, so how do we deal with it? In the next thirty years, we'll need to provide enough protein for billions more mouths, and with all these extra people there will be even less space for farming. One solution is for us to eat insects. They are a great source of protein and they don't need as much space or water as farm animals.

So why don't we eat insects regularly? The fact is that many people in Asia, Africa and South America already do. The problem is that Europeans and North Americans don't want to. Some governments are now trying to convince them why it is a good idea. The Nordic Food Lab in Copenhagen, for example, developed the 'Insect Deliciousness' project. Its chefs have been to five continents to discover an incredible world of insect flavour. In Australia, they tasted honey ants. They ate fried caterpillars in Tanzania, and in Mexico, they enjoyed desert-ant eggs. Will they and other similar organisations persuade Europeans and Americans to take a bite from a caterpillar or an ant? What's your view? How many people will eat insects in the future? How much food made with insects will you eat?

Read the essay and answer the questions.

1. What are the arguments for a ban on mobile phones?

2. What are the arguments against a ban?

3. In which paragraph does the writer give a personal opinion? What is it?

Mobile phones should be banned from schools.

Discuss.

1. Our school plans to ban mobile phones because many teachers complain that they are a nuisance. There are arguments both for and against this rule.

2. One of the arguments for the ban is that people say that phones cause problems at school. Students forget to turn their phones off during class, and if one rings, it disturbs the whole class. Outside the classroom, phones can also cause more serious problems, such as cyberbullying. They say that it is worse if students have access to the internet at school.

3. On the other hand, phones can be a great resource for students. For instance, students use their mobiles in class to research information online. In addition, students can use apps on their phones to help them with schoolwork, for example by creating homework reminders.

4. Personally, I am not in favour of banning mobiles completely as students need them before and after school. However, I think students should agree to keep their phones on silent and in their bags.

THE TEXT:

Nowadays humans are still wondering what planets in outer space might support life.

Scientists say planets need to meet three main conditions to support life. Firstly, they must have liquid water, so their temperature must not be too high or too low. Secondly, the planets need to have the correct amount of air so that they can hold an atmosphere around. Finally, their size is also important. If a planet is too small, its gravity is not strong enough to hold an enough amount of air. If it is too big, its gravity will be so strong that it will hold too much air.

Scientists are using space telescopes to find habitable planets. According to them, Mars is one of the most promising planets for life in our solar system. It is a planet like Earth. Its days last for 24.5 hours and its seasons are similar to Earth's. Although scientists have not found actual water on Mars, there seems to be traces of it on the planet's surface. However, the climate on Mars is unsuitable for human life because it is too cold and Mars lacks oxygen to support human life.
