Suggested answer:

1. Yes, I have. Although I may not go to university right after leaving school, it doesn’t mean that I will stop learning. I think there are lots of things for me to learn. I want to learn different life skills, such as cooking, driving or keeping a budget. I also want to learn how to play a musical

instrument, for example, the guitar or the piano. In addition, I’m interested in sports so I would probably take up tennis, basketball or another sport.

2. I think in order to learn certain skills such as driving or playing a musical instrument, I will need to register for courses and attend classes. But there are also skills like cooking and keeping a budget that I think I can learn from books or free online videos.
