*Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet
Australia has a well-organized and well-structured education system. The education starts at the age of five or six, but
it may differ by a narrow margin between states. It starts with the preschool education which is not compulsory and can be
offered within a school or separately. The primary and secondary school encompasses the compulsory education for
Australians. There are a large number of primary and high school across the country with most of them being public schools.
It is estimated that public schools amount to 60% of scholars as opposed to 40% in private settings. All these education
providers must be licensed by the government and must fulfill certain requirements including infrastructure and teaching.
Universities, on the other hand, are mainly public institutions.
The Australian education system has established a standard curriculum so all scholars will be given the same quality of
education. Despite there may be some states at which this curriculum is modified a bit, but the change is not that significant.
The actual curriculum set out in Australia education system is based on important abilities one must have in his life: Literacy,
Numeracy, Information and communication technology, Critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical
understanding, intercultural understanding.
Vocational and Technical schools prepare students that want to skip the university and want to move directly to the job
market. Actually, here it stands the difference between universities and colleges: the Vocational and Technical Schools are
more oriented in teaching practical skills while university courses are mainly theory-based to lead students to different
academic careers. There are hundreds of other schools out there that provide technical and further education (TAFE) and
vocational education and training (VET). These schools offer short courses, certificates I through IV, diplomas, and advanced
diplomas. They focus on training their students in a particular vocation or just to help their students get out into the workplace.
These schools offer a wide variety of courses and qualifications attained by these courses can lead to different career
pathways to follow afterward.
Australian higher education modernity and reputation relies on a huge number of educational providers including
universities and different training organizations. Currently, there are 43 universities across the country. The vast majority of
universities are public except two private universities. The world-class teaching offered is surely undisputed. Seven
Australian universities are traditionally found at the top 100 best universities in the world which is a sufficient indicator to
highlight their quality.
Besides universities, more than 5,000 training organizations are registered and accredited. Actual figures show that the
number of enrolled students is around 3.8 million with international students sharing more than half a million. There are also
3 self-accrediting higher education institutions. Furthermore, dozens of smaller schools do not grant any degrees or have an
accreditation – these are private schools that focus on theology, business, information technology, natural therapies,
hospitality, health, law, and accounting.

*Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet

Narwhals, a species of whales, has an unusual and mysterious long tusk, once harvested and sold as a unicorn horn for
ten times its weight in gold! You don’t have to search far and wide to find narwhals these days. The so-called "unicorns of the
sea" are plastered on everything from kids’ pajamas and lunchboxes to plush toys and LEGO sets. But seeing the animals in
the wild is something else entirely. As a true Arctic whale, narwhals can mostly be found in the frigid waters of Canada and
Greenland. And while the males sport spiraled, eight-foot-long tusks that push their total body length towards the size of a
school bus, these conspicuous-looking creatures aren’t fond of the limelight. "They're really an elusive whale," says Kristin
Laidre, an Arctic ecologist at the University of Washington who’s studied narwhals for about 20 years. "They’re very skittish
and I guess I’d say sneaky. They startle easily, so they’re not a whale that's going to aggregate around your boat or anything
like that for whale watching.” This makes seeing a narwhal in its natural habitat difficult, but not impossible - providing you
know where to look.

As mammals, narwhals must periodically return to the water’s surface to breathe. And while they can swim far beneath
the ice floes in search of Greenland halibut, cod, shrimp, and squid, their distances are limited by how many openings there
are in the ice. That edge, where ice meets water, makes for the ideal narwhal sighting spot, says David Briggs, an expedition
leader for Arctic Kingdom, a travel company specializing in Arctic safaris, private polar expeditions, and logistics. "They’re on
a migratory path, and that path is interrupted by this ice,” says Briggs, who has worked in the region for a decade. "And so
while they’re at that edge, they continue to feed and wait for the ice to break up further so they can get down the inlets to
where they calve.” Of course, those who make the trek and have the patience can be rewarded with a life-changing narwhal
experience.

According to Briggs, there’s just nothing like hearing the pshhhh of a narwhal blowing for the first time. The sound indicates
that the animal has just exhaled after a deep dive underwater. As with other whales, sometimes you can spot flecks of water
and mist in the air as the narwhal’s surface. And on a really good day, you might even spot a pod of 50 to 100 narwhals
surfacing together, he says.
