Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to<br />
each of the questions.<br />
If you want to turn your hobbies into jobs, consider the following experts' suggestions. If you are a helpful<br />
person, you can teach others to do what you love. "Teach piano lessons, offer cooking classes, or teach another<br />
language if those are your passions. You can do this by teaching through a college or continuing education program,<br />
by creating your own classes, or by creating your own webinars or tele-seminar series online", Collamer says.<br />
If you are not interested in teaching, appraise, repair or fix items related to what you love. Most hobbies have<br />
"stuff" connected to them, and sometimes, that stuff needs to be fixed by a skilled and knowledgeable person. "You<br />
could fix computers, appraise collectibles, repair bicycles, source missing parts for highly unusual items, and so on,"<br />
Collamer says.<br />
"The next time you find yourself confused as to how to generate income from your hobbies, search out the<br />
most successful entrepreneurs in your area of interest and study their business models and revenue streams," Collamer<br />
suggests. "Ask yourself: Is their income coming from consulting services, videos, accessories, events, classes or<br />
product sales? What is their mix of products and services? What is their pricing strategy?" In doing this, you will<br />
discover proven models for monetizing your hobbies, as well as helpful information about how to price your own<br />
services and products.<br />
Mufson, who has interests outside of career coaching, says she managed to turn a hobby into a lucrative parttime gig. "I personally turned my hobby of creating gemstone jewellery into a side-line business," she explains.<br />
"Jewellery making is an expensive hobby and early on I decided to make it pay for itself. Since then I have developed<br />
two online stores and a relationship with a jewellery gallery that sells most of my work."<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to<br />
each of the questions.<br />
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny<br />
beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of around 36,000,<br />
more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number<br />
one spring break destination in the United States.<br />
A weeklong drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university<br />
students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel<br />
locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage<br />
makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good about.<br />
During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15<br />
"alternative spring break" trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five<br />
international trips. One group of JMU students travelled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by<br />
Hurricane Katrina. Another group travelled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a<br />
homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed exhausting<br />
physical labor such as maintaining hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida<br />
ecosystem.<br />

Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most university<br />
students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now.<br />
On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or spend<br />
the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than<br />
some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots.<br />
Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States.<br />
Students cite a number of reasons for participating. Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet new friends.<br />
Others want to exercise their beliefs about people's obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place.<br />
Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break<br />
from school work.<br />
