However, in the twenty-first century technology is helping us, not taking our place. There have been fears that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may replace teachers. However, it appears that teaching is a job which requires a great deal of emotional intelligence and creativity which AI has not mastered yet. Having said that, it is true that AI will become an essential tool for teachers for many of their day-to-day tasks. Some Learning Management Systems use AI to make online teaching easier by reducing teacher’s workload and helping them to be more productive, and therefore improving wellbeing. This company offers the possibility of adapting learning plans to individual students and creating course content based on the student’s needs. This will allow teachers and teaching organisations to offer much more effective learning experiences for online students of the future. In conclusion, AI will continue to offer help to teachers but will never replace them. T he general idea of the text is .................... . that artificial intelligence will allow teachers to have more free time that jobs in the future are in danger as a result of artificial intelligence that teachers will have more work to do in the future that technology will continue to offer solutions for teachers and students 24 / 36 According to the passage, AI can .................... . replace teachers help teachers and students hinders teachers’ productivity help students only 25 / 36 How does the text say AI can help teachers in the future?

Day-to-day. 29 / 36 Read the following passage, then answer the questions: When people retire, they will probably have been working for 40 years or more. But how productive will they have been in that time? We have been studying productivity, and the results are very interesting. Working hours around the world vary, but people in Egypt work an average of 40 hours a week and no more than 48 hours a week, which is similar to most other countries. In the USA, however, many people working in technology and banking often work over 60 hours a week. This could be because phones and laptops mean that people can work even when they are not in the office. However, a study by Professor Pencavel, from Stanford University in the USA, concluded that these extra hours do not mean a person gets more things done. Professor Pencavel reported that a person’s productivity declined very quickly after they had worked 50 hours a week. In fact, a person doing 70 hours a week did the same amount of work as a person doing 55 hours. There have been several studies into the effects of work on health. The economist, Nolan Pope, studied how the time of day affects productivity, and he found that people are naturally more productive at certain times of the day: in particular, before around 1 pm. There have been many other studies into workplace stress, and these indicate that long work hours are linked to exhaustion, burnout and poor health. In conclusion, to aid our health, it is important that we work around the hours of the day when we are most productive and this should help make us happier.
