to the international list of the most (3) species, there were about 600,000 remainind Elephant numbers have dropped by 62% over the last decade, and they could be mostly extinct by the end of the next decade An estimated one hundred African elephants are killed each day by poachers (4) ivory, meat, and body parts, leaving only 400,000 alive today

Read the second part of the text and answer the questions Elephants are a keystone species, and they play an important role in maintaining biodiversity Below are some examples
While looking for food, elephants pull down trees and break up thorny bushes, which helps to create grasslands for other animals to inhabit In addition, they use their feet to dig up salt licks that are rich in nutrients for themselves and for other animals Their footprints also create deep holes that water can collect in Other species rely on this water source in the dry season
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:
Trang 11How can elephants create grasslands for other animals to live in? Where do many species get water in the dry season? Where do baboons and birds get their food? In what way can humans benefit from elephants? How can elephant droppings affect the growth of some kinds of seeds? What will happen if elephants become extinct?

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 human beings An event giving rise to future artificial intelligence © An event giving rise to future alien civilisation Why could The Singularity put an end to humans? 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

What do Ray Kurzweil and other futurists say about The Singularity? By the year 2045 When will that event happen?
Well, even if artificial intelligence is created, it will not necessarily be hostile to humanity Is it avoidable? it means rapidly becoming greater in size Why do they think so? No, | don’t really believe that What does ‘exponential’ mean? No, it is inevitable
Do you really believe that A.I would
destroy humanity in the near future? growth of technology Because of the unstoppable, exponential

In 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 on skills
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,

TIPS FOR STUDENTS TO SECURE WORK EXPERIENCE
The following tips may help secondary students to secure work experience at the company of their choice
Students should assess what they are seeking to achieve They should also think about their passions, interests, and personal strengths, and how they can apply them as part of the workforce For example, if students have a passion for music, they may be able to turn that talent into working in a music shop
Students can create a ‘wish list’ of different types of jobs that they are interested in, and make a list of all of the companies in their local area that they would like to work for
Students may speak to teachers, family, and friends to see if they know anyone who works for one of their target organisations, because these people may be able to assist them If students do not have any existing contacts, they may search online for contacts with 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

if 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 questions about their new work placement They should know how to get there, what time they should arrive, who to ask for, and if there is anything they need to bring with them
Students should always be friendly, open, flexible, and hard-working to impress the company they are working for They may be asked to do some tasks that are not as interesting as others, but they should try their best with everything that is given to them
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
