 Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students will study most regular classes such as maths, science and history online. Students will probably be able to learn these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problem with a subject? They might connect with a teacher through live videoconferencing. Expert teachers from learning centres will give students help wherever they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning social skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each other. They will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the world they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities. Some experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in schools. Some say it will take longer. Most people agree, though, that computers will change education the way TVs and telephones changed life for people all over the world  years before.
Question23:  What is the main idea of the passage?
    A.  Teachers will help students from home in the future.
    B.  All classes will be taught online in the future.
    C.  Computers will change education in the future.
    D.  Kids won’t have to go to school in the future.
Question24:  What will happen if students meet difficulties with a subject?
    A.  They will telephone the teachers who are staying at the school to seek their help.
    B.  Teachers from learning centres will give them help through live video conferencing.
    C.  Schools will organise a live videoconference for teachers to help students with problems.
    D.  They will meet their teachers in person for help with problems with the subject.
