A) Emma got into presenting through her acting background, but there is no set route into the profession. Some presenters have university qualifications, while music show hosts have often been performers themselves, or may have worked as DJs in clubs. For entertainment shows, presenters often have an acting background and audition to present the show. Competition is stiff in this field, so if you're starting out and you want to get noticed ahead of other applicants, proof of practical work experience is essential.

B) Fancy spending your working days jumping over shark-infested waters on a powered jet-ski? Then take our short course as a stunt actor and see if you have necessary ability to do this amazing job! What kind of person is driven to do this job? You need to be fearless, have an appetite to learn, and, above all, be adventurous! We'll teach you the rest! Before you do any stunts, you will learn about diet and fitness. After you have completed this, you will have the chance to jump, dive, bungee and parachute, depending on how active you want to be. Still keen? Don't worry – we'll give you every opportunity to try as many stunts as possible!
С) Were schools better years ago? To answer that question, some British teenageers travelled back in time to a 1950s boarding school. They got a big surprise! The first shock came when teenagers met their new teachers. Dressed in traditional black gowns, they looked so frosty and uncaring! They were really authoritarian too, so anyone caught breaking the rules – talking in class, mucking about in the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included writing 'lines' or staying after class to do detention. The naughtiest kids were expelled.

D) There are plenty of people who hate exams. A great many people, in fact. Most of us work out a timetable for our revisions and then invent a few excuses to put it off. You can waste a great deal of time when you should be sitting down and studying! But none of us wants to just get by in the exams – we want to be successful! So how can we achieve this?

Make sure you keep up to date with your studies and don't hand you work in late.

Do little work every day so you don't leave yourself too much to do at the end.

Stick to your revision timetable and give yourself a few short breaks.

E) Nowadays lots of students in the UK want to go to college or university when they leave school. A large number of extra places have been created but some people say that there are too many. What we will end up with is lots of students with degrees, but only a few people who are qualified in vocational courses. This means the country will have young people who are looking for executive jobs, none of whom are prepared to work in more practical areas. We will have too many managers and not enough plumbers, carpenters and hairdressers.
