Most importantly, elephant droppings are vital to the environment Animals such
as baboons and birds pick up undigested seeds and nuts from these droppings for their food This type of waste also works as a kind of manure, which helps humans
to have fertile soil to plant their crops Elephant droppings are also a vehicle for dispersing seeds and making them grow Some types of seeds will not germinate unless they have passed through an elephant's digestive system So, if elephants become extinct, those seeds will not grow into trees, leading to an increase in soil erosion and flooding:
What would happen if there were no more elephants on Earth? Elephants maintain the ecosystems in which they live, and make it possible for a lot of other plant and animal species to survive in those environments as well In a nutshell, if elephants become extinct, many other species will disappear

Read the following text and choose the best answer to each question
According to futurist Ray Kurzweil, human civilisation will be unavoidably transformed in the year 2045
by an event that he calls The Singularity He suggests that exponential technological development will lead to the inevitable rise of artificial intelligence (A.1.) Such advanced technology may make humanity insignificant
Kurzweil says that technologies are double-edged swords and envisions the possibility that an artificial intelligence might decide to put an end to humanity simply because it surpasses human intelligence Kurzweil does have faith in mankind, however He suggests that people are wise to accept that technological progress is unavoidable, and that such acceptance will make the process of transition easier
Kurzweil has personal reasons to hope.for the coming of The Singularity, because he wants his life to
be extended by it Kurzweil envisions that future medical advances could invent tiny computerised machines, or nanobots, which operate inside the body to enhance the immune system In addition, he believes that future technology might be able to resurrect his deceased father
Looking at the state of current technological advances in many fields such as medicine, navigation, and communication, Kurzweil’s visions may not be unbelievable The critical issue, however, is whether genuine artificial intelligence can ever be truly realised Kurzweil suggests that critics of his theories, who believe that the human brain is too complex to duplicate, are underestimating what the exponential growth in technology can eventually accomplish

What is The Singularity?

An event giving rise to future artificial intelligence
© An event giving rise to future alien civilisation

A Because Al might imitate human intelligence
Because A.I is similar to human intelligence
Because AI will exceed human intelligence
What does Kurzweil say about technologies?
‘\ Technologies are avoidable
Technologies are safe and friendly
© Technologies are double-edged swords
Why does Kurzweil hope for the coming of The Singularity?
Because it would have economic advantages
5ä, Because life could be extended
© Because humans would have virtual entertainment
How does Kurzweil respond to critics of his theories?
“ He thinks that they do not evaluate correctly the rapid growth of technology
3 He thinks that the realisation of genuine artificial intelligence is a challenge
© He thinks that future events cannot be predicted with our current means
Find the words in the text which mean the following:
rapidly becoming greater in size
impossible to avoid something to happen

Do you agree with him?

it will not necessarily be hostile to humanity
Why not? The Singularity is an event caused by
technological development, and will give rise to artificial intelligence

Trang 24In a society where the unemployment rate is
relatively high, employers usually have greater
choice of applicants They tend to favour the
candidates with more employability skills - the
skills necessary for getting, keeping, and being
successful in a job These skills are varied,
ranging from basic ones such as searching for
job adverts, writing CVs and covering letters,
and coming across well in interviews, to the
more advanced skills which are required in
order to keep a job for a long time Among
the long list of more advanced employability
skills, it is very important for all job seekers
to equip themselves with interpersonal skills,
communication skills, and leadership ability in
order to keep and be successful in a job
Interpersonal skills are really crucial when
seeking employment They are the skills that
people use to interact with each other People
with good interpersonal skills often co-operate
and work well with the others in a team They
are also good at negotiating and satisfying the
expectations of the people involved In their
daily work, interpersonal skills allow them to
empathise with colleagues as well as clients,
thereby building better working relationships
This, as a result, leads to a better working
environment with little or no stress
Communication skills are also important for people who are seeking employment or looking
for a promotion in their current career because
employers nowadays want to find employees who communicate well both verbally and in writing with
a wide variety of people Good communicators
can speak and write clearly and succinctly, getting their messages across with less chance
of misunderstanding They can also demonstrate
a varied vocabulary and tailor their language to different audiences
Besides interpersonal and communication skills,
having leadership ability is also an advantage in seeking and keeping employment The people with leadership ability tend to influence others towards the achievement of a goal Thus, they often make great team players, allowing them to work ina group to achieve the best results for their employer
It is hard to get a job It is even harder to keep it,
succeed in it, and gain a promotion However,
if people know how to interact properly and communicate well with others, and if they possess leadership ability, they can increase their chance of getting and keeping the job they want

TIPS FOR STUDENTS TO SECURE WORK EXPERIENCE The following tips may help secondary students to secure work experience at the company of their choice

Employers will ask for a student’s CV, so students should speak to teachers, family or friends for tips on how to write a CV They may also get in touch with a recruitment agency for their advice A CV should include students’ contact details and their achievements at school
Trang 33if students are invited to the company for an interview, they are always advised to dress in a smart manner to impress people
Students should ask for written feedback so that they have something to show to their future employers Their school or college may provide them with a feedback form If they don’t, students
should ask for feedback on their competencies These include time management, communication,
following instructions, customer service, and working with other people
Once students have completed their work experience they should send the company a thank you letter The company has invested time and money to have students with them, so students should share their feedback and the experience they have had during their time with the company That way,
if a job opportunity comes up in the future, the company just may call them
