Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the correct
letter, A, B, C or D.
A NEW LAW
In many European countries, children leave school at the age of 16. Until recently, this was true in Britain, too.
But now, a new law has raised the minimum age at which young people can leave school to 18. Whether you
think this makes sense or not, you should keep in mind that a good education will help you get a better job.
People haven’t always seen the value of education. In fact, it wasn’t until 1870 that Britian decided to make
children go to school – but only from ages 5 to 10. In those days, many poor families were unhappy about this.
They believed their children should work so there would be more money to help take care of the family. But they
had no choice. They had to send their children to school. From then on, the school-leaving age was raised every
few years, to 11, 12, 14 and 15. And every time the school-leaving age was raised, lots of people were upset –
both parents and children. But in the end, everyone got used to the idea that young children should be in school
and not working at a job!
In 1972, the age for leaving school was raised to 16. When students turned 16, they had two choices: they could
either continue studying or they could get a job. At the time, about 25% of 16-year-olds chose to stop studying.
However, today there are fewer and fewer jobs for workers with no skills, and many teenagers who leave school
at 16 are not able to find jobs.
The new law is designed to change this situation. Under the new law, there are three choices: students can
continue at school and prepare for university, they can go to another school where they can learn a skill, like
mechanics, that will help them at a job, or they can get a job which also trains them. The big question is, of
course, how can you make 18-year-olds go to school if they don’t want to? One suggestion is to punish students
who miss lessons. For example, there could be a law that says that teenagers younger than 18 years old must show
that they are still studying in order to get a driving licence. This method was successful in Canada. Another
possibility might be to give rewards, such as money, to students who stay in school and don’t miss lessons. What
kind of solution will work with British teens? Many education experts believe that these problems can be solved.
They believe the new system will help the teenagers of the future to have the education they need to find the jobs
they want.

Green Solutions
Fast Food Cleans Up
The global fast-food chain McDonald’s is working hard to change its image. Tired of being constantly
criticised, McDonald’s has begun to take environmental issues to heart. The chain’s first major decision was to
turn its used cooking oil into biodiesel – an environmentally friendly transportation fuel. As a result of this
decision, McDonald’s restaurants now recycle about 90% of their cooking oil and use the biodiesel to run
more than half of their delivery lorries. In addition, McDonald’s has decided to buy its coffee and soya beans
only from companies that do not destroy the rainforests. This decision is good for the environment and for the
farmers, who now get better pay, medical care and education for themselves and their families.
The Freedom Ship: A Floating City
Experts predict that overcrowding will force Earth’s inhabitants to search for new lifestyles. Living in outer
space is one option; living on a ship is another. Plans for the construction of the first oceanic community – a
floating city of up to 40,000 people – are already in progress. Called the Freedom Ship, it is going to be 1,317
metres long and 221 metres wide, and will weigh 2.4 million tonnes. Norman Nixon, who developed the idea,
says that within three years, shipbuilders will have completed the ship. During this time, they will be adding
schools, shops, banks, restaurants, a hospital and a library to the ship. According to Nixon, the Freedom Ship
is going to be an environmentally friendly community, with compulsory recycling of glass, paper and metal.

Grow a Home
Architects Mitchell Joachim and Javier Arbona are busy developing a house they say will grow from a few
seeds into a two-storey, water-recycling, energy-saving home. Called the Fab Tree Hab, it is a combination of
ancient and ultra-modern technology. The architects’ plan is to create the walls of the Fab Tree Hab from the
roots of a tree. They will be packing the walls with clay and then plastering them to keep out the rain. If the
plan works, the water supply will come from rainwater collected on the roof. The architects predict that each
house will take five years to grow. Once grown, customers can replant their house wherever they like.
However, there are still a few problems to be worked out. For example, how are the neighbours going to feel
about a house that keeps growing?
