Read the passage. Then answer the questions No. 1 and 2."Today there are many jobs where you need English. This is because the world has become smaller.

English has made this communication easier.There are many countries in the world with many languages, but to communicate with them, you cannot use all the languages. So you need a common language that you can use with more or less all the people in the world. English is that common language. You can talk to a Chinese toy maker, a French artist, an Arab ambassador or a Korean builder in one language- English.English for us in Bangladesh is all the more important. As we have seen earlier, we are too many people in a small country. So if you learn English, you have the best opportunity to find a good job, both within and outside the country. And that is good news for millions of our unemployed youths.""But Miss, we learn English for 12 or 14 years, yet we do not find good jobs," says Rumi.

7.Read the following text carefully and answer the questions no. 1 : Traditional childhood pastimes of climbing trees and playing conkers are in decline, according $\to a survey by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of$ Birds). It's a charitable organization registered in England and Wales. The survey shows that people under 34 recall far fewer such childhood outdoor experiences than people over 55, according $\to a survey by$ RSPB. People were asked which of the twelve childhood outdoor experiences they could remember. The answer included making dens, daisy chains, climbing trees, playing conkers and feeding birds. Four out of five boys climbed trees and the same number of girls made daisy chains. But the survey showed the numbers declining among the newer generations. Some 15% more of those aged over 55 had these outdoor experiences in their childhood, compared with those between 15-34 years old. Some 92% of the public agreed that experiences of nature were still important $\to$ children, and 82% agreed that schools should play a role in providing them $\to all$ children. The survey has highlighted the positive impact of contact with nature on a child's education, health, wellbeing and social skills.
