EXAM UNIT 1: School Life and Future Plans Name: _____________________________ Date: _____________________________ Duration 120 minutes READING Many students have varied preferences when it comes to school subjects. Some students enjoy creative subjects like Art and Music, where they can express themselves and explore their talents. Others might prefer subjects like Mathematics and Science, which challenge their problem-solving skills and logical thinking. These preferences often reflect a student's personality and future career ambitions. As students progress through their education, they begin to consider what careers they might pursue in the future. Some may aspire to become doctors, engineers, or teachers, driven by a desire to help others or to innovate. Others might be drawn to careers in business, technology, or the arts, seeking opportunities that align with their passions and strengths. Career choices are often influenced by the subjects students enjoy the most and excel in at school.
