PART 2 READING
Read the text. Choose the correct option to answer the questions. (1 point each correct answer)
Skills for the 21st-century workplace
Have you got the skills you need for the 21st-century workplace?
We need to develop all kinds of skills to survive in the 21st century. Some, like ICT skills and knowledge of the
digital world, are taught explicitly in schools in the UK. Here are five less obvious ones for you to think about.
These are the sorts of skills that employers may ask you questions about in interviews, so it’s a good idea to
think about how good you are in these areas. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Imagination
In the age of technology that we are living in now, it is no longer enough to keep on making the same products.
Employers need people who can imagine new approaches and new ideas.
Think: Think of an object or gadget you use every day. How could it be improved? Can you think of three
improvements?
Problem solving
Employers will value workers who are able to see problems before they happen and come up with creative
solutions.
Think: Imagine you are organising an end-of-term social event at school. Think of some problems that you could
face. Can you think of any solutions?

also write in a clear way without using too many words.

false information.
Think: Use the internet to find out three facts about a celebrity or famous figure. Can you verify the information
