Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology brings a lot of benefits to various fields, including education. 
Many researchers claim that Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning can increase the level of education Education. Educational apps can be utilized by two types of users – students and teachers. Of course, such solutions bring different benefits to them. 
It is undeniable that there are many advantages of AI in education for children. First of all, AI provides students with education at any time. Young people spend a lot of time on the go. They prefer doing everyday tasks using their smartphones or tablets. AI-based applications provide an opportunity to study in free time spending ten or fifteen minutes. Additionally, the students can get feedback from tutors in a real-time mode. Secondly, it brings various options due to the students’ needs. AI-based solutions can adapt due to the students’ level of knowledge, interesting topics, and so on. The system tends to help students with their weak sides. It offers learning materials based on their weaknesses. For example, the student does the test before starting to use the app; the app analyzes it and provides suitable tasks and courses. Finally, AI is considered as virtual mentors. AI-based platforms offer virtual mentors to track students’ progress. Of course, only human teachers can understand the scholars’ needs better, but it’s good to get instant feedback from the virtual tutor. 
Moreover, AI is also beneficial to teachers and schools. First, it offers an opportunity for the teachers to see students’ weaknesses. Different training courses allow the teachers to see the gaps in students’ knowledge. For example, the Coursera platform can notify the teacher if many students choose incorrect answers to a particular question. As a result, the teacher has an opportunity to pay attention to the demanded topic. Another advantage that AI gives the teachers and schools is curriculum automatic creating. These days, they don’t need to create a curriculum from scratch. AS a result, teachers spend less time searching for necessary educational materials. Last but not least, AI gives students an opportunity to find a good teacher. Educational platforms have a lot of teachers, so the student has an opportunity to communicate with specialists from other countries.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 8
NATURE IN DANGER
Deforestation has important global consequences. Forests sequester carbon in the form of wood and other biomass as the trees grow, taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When forests are burned, their carbon is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that has the potential to alter global climate, and trees are no longer present to sequester more carbon.
In addition, most of the planet’s valuable biodiversity is within forests, particularly tropical ones. Moist tropical forests such as the Amazon gave the greatest concentration of animal and plant species of any terrestrial ecosystem; perhaps two-thirds of Earth’s species live only in these forests. As deforestation proceeds, it has the potential to cause the extinction of increasing numbers of these species.
On a more local scale, the effects of forest clearing, selective logging, and fires interact. Selective logging increases the flammability of the forest because it converts a closed, wetter forest into a more open, drier one. Thisleaves the forest vulnerable to the accidental movement of fires from cleared adjacent agricultural lands and to the killing effects of natural droughts. As wildfires, logging, and droughts continue, the forest can become progressively more open until all the trees are lost. Additionally, the burning of tropical forests is generally a seasonal phenomenon and can severely impact air quality.
In the tropics, much of the deforested land exists in the form of steep mountain hillsides. The combination of steep slopes, high rainfall, and the lack of tree roots to bind the soil can lead to disastrous landslides that destroy fields, homes, and human lives. With the significant exception of the forests destroyed for the oil palm industry, many of the humid forests that have been cleared are soon abandoned as croplands or only used for low-density grazing because the soils are extremely poor in nutrients. The vegetation that contains most of the nutrients is often burned, and the nutrient literally “go up in smoke” or are washed away in the next rain.
Although forests may regrow after being cleared and then abandoned, this is not always the case, especially if the remaining forests are highly fragmented. Such habitat fragmentation isolates populations of plant and animal species from each other, making it difficult to reproduce without genetic bottlenecks, and the fragment may be too small to support large or territorial animals.
