Act.3: Listen to the conversation ONCE. Then choose the best answer to the question.
Phong: Hey, you`ve been in front of your computer for so long! What are you looking for? 
Kevin: Well, I`ve been searching for information about further education for several days and I`ve learnt a lot about it from different websites. 
Phong: What is further education? 
Kevin: It`s basically education below degree level for people above school age. It can be academic or vocational. 
Maria: Sounds interesting! How are they different? 
Kevin: Academic courses help us develop analytical skills, critical thinking and knowledge for higher education at a university or college. 
Phong: Will that lead to a bachelor`s degree? 
Kevin: Exactly. That`s the undergraduate level. At the postgraduate level, you get a master`s degree, or a doctoral degree. A doctoral degree, also called a doctorate or PhD, is the highest university degree. 
Maria: I see. What about vocational courses? 
Kevin: They provide us with practical skills, training and qualifications to succeed in a particular job. 
Maria: OK. So, what are your plans for the future? 
Kevin: I`ve been thinking about studying abroad lately. Besides improving my language skills, I can learn more about other cultures. It can be exciting. 
Phong: And more expensive... 
Kevin: But we can apply for scholarships. 
Maria: Well, I may need more time to decide on my major so I won`t go straight to university after school. 
Kevin: Good idea! Many students prefer to take a gap year between secondary school and college so they can do voluntary work or internships, and travel. 
Maria: I couldn`t agree more. I`ve travelled to quite a few countries since grade 9. Next year I plan to go to Thailand to work as a volunteer at a children`s home. I hope the practical experience will make my CV look good. 
Phong: Sounds great! I`d like to join you if I can. I`ve have never been to Thailand before. 
Act.4: Read the conversation again and complete the following sentences with the correct information from it.
