SUBIECTUL I
Read the text below and complete the following tasks.

The first question we might ask is : what can you learn in college (1)? The schools teach a great many things of value to the future accountant, the future doctor, or the future electrician. Do they also teach anything of value to the future employee? The answer is :Yes-they teach the one thing that it is perhaps most valuable for the future employee to know. But very few students bother to learn it. This one basic skill (2), is the ability to organize and express ideas in writing and in speaking. As an employee you work with and through other people. This means that your success as an employee-and I am talking of much more here than getting promoted- will depend on your ability to communicate with people and to present your own ideas to them (3). The letter, the report or memorandum, the ten-minute spoken presentationto a committee are basic tools of the employee. Expressing ones thoughts is one skill (4), especially to people born with natural writing or speaking talent.Thats why one should lay the foundations during the school years, as they may never have an opportunity again.
