they are all grow n up. My eldest son has sta rte d to develop fine lines around his
eyes — fledgling crow ’s feet. A terrib le sig h t fo r any p aren t to see. Anyway, the
piece is n ’t about children. I t ’s about holidays.
The firs t th in g to be said about holidays is th a t anybody who can afford one should
be g ratefu l. The second th in g is th a t planning holidays can be hard work. In our
household it s ta rts w ith somebody m u tterin g , ‘I suppose we ought to th in k about a
holiday.’ This rem ark is usually made in J u ly and is received glum ly, as if the person
m aking it has said T suppose we ought to th in k about the Bolivian balance of paym ent
problem s.’
N othing m uch happens for a week and th en th e potential holiday-m akers are
rounded up and made to consult th e ir diaries. H ospital appointm ents are taken into
consideration, as are im p o rtan t th ing s to do w ith work. B ut o th er h ig h lig h ts on the
dom estic calendar, such as the c a t’s b irth d ay , are swept aside and eventually two
weeks are found. The next decision is th e m ost painful: where?
We travel abroad to work quite a lot b u t we re tu rn tired and w eary, so th e holiday
we are planning is a slob’s holiday: collapse on a sunbed, read a book u n til the sun
goes down, stag g er back to hotel room, shower, change into glad rags, eat well, wave
good-bye to teenagers, have a last drin k on hotel terrace, go to bed and th en lie awake
and w ait for hotel w aiters to b rin g th e teenagers from th e disco.
I never w ant to be guided around an o th er m onum ent, as long as I live. I do not
w ant to be told how m any bricks it took to build it. I have a sh o rt a tte n tio n span for
such details. I do not w ant to atte n d a ‘folk evening’ ever, ever again. The kind where
men w ith th e ir tro u sers tucked into th e ir socks wave handkerchiefs in th e direction
of women w earing puff-sleeved blouses, long sk irts and headscarves.
I also w ant to live dangerously and get brown. I w ant my doughy E nglish skin
change from w hite sliced to w heat germ . I like the simple pleasure of rem oving my
w atch stra p and gazing a t the patch of v irg in skin beneath.
I don’t w ant to make new friends — on holidays or in general; I can’t m anage the
ones I have a t home. I do not w ant to m ix w ith th e locals and I have no wish to go
into th e ir homes. I do not welcome to u rists who come to Leicester into my home. W hy
should the poor locals in H olidayland be expected to? I t ’s bad enough th a t we
monopolize th e ir beaches, clog th e ir pavem ents and spend an hour in a shop choosing
a su n h at th a t costs the equivalent of 75 pence.
So, the slob’s holiday has several essential requirem ents: a hotel on a sunny beach,
good food, a w arm sea, n ightlife fo r th e teenagers, a big crowd to get lost in, and the
absence of m osquitoes.
As I w rite, we are a t the planning stage. We have looked th ro u g h all the holiday
brochures, b u t they are full of references to ‘hospitable locals’, ‘folk n ig h ts’, ‘deserted
beaches’, and ‘in te re stin g historical sig h ts’. N ot our cup of tea, or glass of sangria,
a t all.
The p a re n ts’ choice of holiday destination made th e n a rra to r’s children feel
1) jealous.
2) excited.
3) alarm ed.
4) in d ifferen t.
Ответ:
13 The n a rra to r’s words ‘A terrib le sig h t fo r any p aren t to see’ refer to
1) th e way children behave.
2) the fact th a t children are aging.
3) th e way children change th e ir image.
4) th e fact th ere is a generation gap.
Ответ:
14 W hen the need for holiday planning is firs t announced in the n a rra to r’ fam ily, it
1) is regarded as an im p o rtan t political issue.
2) is m et w ith enthusiasm by all the fam ily.
3) seems like an impossible task.
4) is openly ignored.
Ответ:
15 To fin d a two-week slot for a holiday potential holiday-m akers have to
1) negotiate the optim um period fo r travel.
2) cancel p rio r business appointm ents.
3) re-schedule individual sum m er plans.
4) make a list of the th in g s to be taken into account.
Ответ:
16 The slob’s holiday is the type of holiday fo r people, who
1) do not w ant to go on holiday abroad.
2) go on holiday w ith teenagers.
3) do not like public life.
4) p refer peaceful relaxing holidays.
Ответ: j
17 W hen the n a rra to r says ‘I also w ant to live dangerously’, she means
1) g ettin g lost in the crowd.
2) going sightseeing w ithout a guide.
3) choosing herself the parties to go to.
4) lying long hours in the sun on the beach.
Ответ:
18 The m ain reason the n a rra to r doesn’t w ant to m ix up w ith locals is because she
1) doesn’t let to u rists to her house at Leicester.
2) doesn’t w ant to add to th e ir inconveniencies.
3) is afraid to make friends w ith local people.
4) values her own privacy above all.

A. Chocolate is made from the seeds of the tre e Theobroma cacao. The ancient Aztecs
used the beans of the cacao tree as a form of money. The A ztecs discovered th a t
by crushing th e beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a refreshing
and nourishing drink. This drink was very b itte r, not like our chocolate drinks
today. 16th century European explorers b ro u g h t th e d rin k back from th e ir trav els,
added sugar, and soon it was popular as an expensive luxury.
B. You can receive a ‘sweet to o th ’ from your parents. R ecent study a t New York
U niversity suggests th ere is a genetic reason why some people p refer sugary foods.
The study was based on two groups of mice. The p aren ts of the firs t group were
given sweetened w ater and th e paren ts of the second - unsw eetened w ater. The
team found th e gene th a t was d ifferen t in th e two groups of mice and th en looked
for sim ilar genetic chains in hum ans.
C. All m odern chocolate products have large am ounts of su g ar, a fact which may
p a rtly explain why it becomes a so rt of drug fo r some people. An ability to
recognize sweet thin g s, and a tendency to like them was very useful fo r our
fo refath ers. Such a genetic q uality made prehistoric hum ans look fo r energy-rich,
healthy and ta sty food such as fr u it, and helped them avoid b itte r-ta stin g poisonous
plants.
D. Like other sweet food, chocolate helps endorphins, n a tu ra l horm ones, th a t give us
th e feelings of pleasure and well-being, to appear in our body. Chocolate also makes
us feel good by reacting w ith our brains. Scientists say th a t some people may develop
chocoholism — a dependency on chocolate. So i t ’s ju s t possible th a t, w ith every
b ar of chocolate, your brain changes step by step in order to make you love
chocolate more and more!
E. Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, m any scientific works were w ritten explaining
th e advantages of chocolate fo r m edicine, and today i t ’s a reg u lar food in arm y
rations. Chocolate could help prevent to o th decay, according to scientists at J a p a n ’s
Osaka U niversity. The cocoa beans from which chocolate is made have an
antibacterial agent th a t fig h ts tooth decay. These p a rts of th e beans are not usually
used in chocolate production, b u t in fu tu re they could be added back in to chocolate
to make it friendly fo r teeth.
F. C alifornian scientist P rofessor Carl Keen and his team have suggested th a t
chocolate m ight help fig h t h e art disease. They say th a t it contains chemicals called
flavinoids, which th in the blood. R esearchers a t H arvard U niversity have carried
out experim ents th a t suggest th a t if you eat chocolate th ree tim es a m onth you
will live alm ost a year longer th an those who d on’t do it. B ut i t ’s not all good
news — chocolate has much fa t, which means th a t eating too m uch of it may lead
to obesity.
G. Being very fa t, or obese, is linked to m any h ealth problems including h e art disease
and diabetes. The causes of obesity are not yet fully understood. Both genes and
the environm ent play a role. The recent grow th of th e num ber of fa t people seems
to be linked to environm ental factors: people are much less active nowadays, fa tty
and sugary foods like chocolate are cheap, people eat larg er portions of food, and
the calories per person have increased.

Mr. S ticky
‘H e’s probably in the gravel th e n ,’ h er mum said. She p u t th e fish back in the
clean w ater w here they swam round and round, looking baffled.
T hat evening Abby w ent up to h er bedroom to exam ine th e tan k . The w ater had
settled and looked lovely and clear b u t th e re was no sign of M r. Sticky. She w ent
dow nstairs.
H er mum was in the stu d y surrounded by papers. She looked im p atien t when she
saw Abby in the doorway and even more im p atien t when she heard th e bad news.
‘H e’ll tu rn u p .’ was all she said. ‘Now off to bed Abby. I ’ve got masses of work
to catch up o n .’
Abby felt her face go hot and red. It always happened when she was fu rio u s or
offended.
‘Y ou’ve poured him out, haven’t y o u ,’ she said. ‘You were in such a ru s h .’
‘I have not. I was very cautious. B ut he is extrem ely sm all.’
‘W h a t’s w rong w ith being sm all?’
‘N othing a t all. B ut it makes th in g s h ard to fin d .’
‘Or n o tice,’ Abby said and ran from th e room.
The door to the bedroom opened and M um ’s face appeared. Abby trie d to ignore
her b u t it was hard when she walked over to the bed and sat next to her. She was
holding her glasses in her hand. ‘These are my new p a ir,’ she said. ‘E x tra pow erful,
for snail h u n tin g .’ She smiled a t Abby. Abby tried not to smile back.
‘A nd I ’ve got a m agnifying g la ss,’ Abby suddenly rem em bered and rushed off to
find it.
They sat beside each other on th e floor w ith the tan k between them and peered
into the w ater.
‘A h ha!’ Mum suddenly cried.
There, perfectly hidden against th e dark stone, sat M r. Sticky. And rig h t next to
him was another w ater snail, even sm aller th an him.

W hen I grow up
W hen I was in kindergarten , my class was asked, “W h at do you w ant to be when
you grow up?” Colorful crayons danced across sheets of paper to illu stra te our dream
occupations and cherished jobs. O ur draw ings were hung in th e school hallw ay fo r our
p aren ts to see a t Back to School N ight. I rem em ber looking down th e line and seeing
pictures of p re tty ballerinas dancing, brave firefig h ters p u ttin g out a blaze, and
fearless astro n au ts leaping across the moon — adm irable careers th a t were seen as
typical dream s of five-year-old kids.
My picture showed a stick fig u re w ith brow n disheveled h air holding a carton of
orange juice over a large rectangle th a t was supposed to be a counter. U nderneath was
my barely legible handw riting: “W hen I grow up, I w ant to w ork at th e M arket B asket
because it would be fu n to swipe orange juice across the scanner and talk to custom ers.”
To th is day my parents w on’t let me fo rg et th a t out of everything I could have aspired
to be, my five-year-old self wished to work a t the local grocery store.
W hen we are young, questions of w hat we w ant to be when we grow up are
common. Yet we are not expected to respond w ith an answ er th a t is likely to come
tru e . However, when we become teenagers, we are asked the very same question twice
as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answ er w ith confidence.
Teenagers are expected to know exactly w hat they w ant to be and how they are
going to achieve th a t goal. N ot all of us can be so sure at th is age. Even though I am
in high school, I cannot answ er convincingly. B ut I don’t consider th a t a bad th in g .
How am I supposed to know w hat I will w ant to spend my tim e doing a t the age of
th irty or forty?
W hen I th in k about the fu tu re , I definitely don’t see m yself w orking a t the counter
of the M arket B asket, b u t in reality , if th a t was w hat would make me happy, I would
do it. So, the next tim e someone asks me w hat I w ant to be when I grow up, I will
sim ply say, “I w ant to be happy.” And it is hope th a t drives us in th is direction.
“Hope is not a grain of san d ,” the Gambian poet, Lenrie P eters, echoes, b u t no
m a tte r how tin y it is, it would still be su fficien t to keep th e youth alive and sane in
m ost extrem e circum stances. It is hope th a t spurs th e youth on, to be up and doing.
It is hope th a t keeps the youth going no m a tte r how hard it is. Nelson M andela as
a youth hoped against all hope fo r th e liberation of his people and he actually lived
to see his hope being fulfilled. Robinson Crusoe, cast away on an uninhabited island,
hoped against all hope fo r survival and th is propelled him to s ta r t from scratch and
build a compound and large farm single-handedly.
F ar away in “A nother C ountry: th e Land of L ite ra tu re ,” S ister Eileen Sweeney
sum s up thro u g h her w ritings th a t Hope is th e anchor th a t keeps “the ship” called
“y o u th ” steadfastly held tog eth er no m a tte r th e high and storm y sea of passion, pain,
distress or trib u latio n th a t b a tte r against it.
H appiness is a destination fo r everyone. We may w ant to walk d ifferen t path s in
life, narrow or wide, crooked or s tra ig h t, b u t we all w ant to be happy w herever we
end up. Choose your path , b u t don’t w orry too m uch about choosing wisely. Make
a m istake or two and try new thin g s. B ut always rem em ber, if you’re not happy,
you’re not a t the end of your journey yet.

A. Flam ingos are very social and often live in large groups, called colonies, th ro u g h o u t
the world. They are found in both th e E astern and W estern hem ispheres. The
A m erican Flam ingo is the only one th a t lives in th e wild in N orth A m erica, and
on m any Caribbean islands such as th e Bahamas, Cuba, and H ispaniola. It also lives
in n o rth ern South Am erica, the Galapagos Islands, and p a rts of Mexico.
B. Flam ingos fish while w alking in shallow w ater and m ud. W hen a flam ingo notices
its potential dinner (for example, shrim p, snails, and plantlike w ater organism s),
it plunges its head into the w ater, tw ists its head upside down, and scoops th e fish
up using its upper beak like a shovel. Flam ingos get th e ir pink coloring from the
carotenoid pigm ent in th e ir food, which is the same pigm ent th a t makes carrots
orange.
C. Flam ingos build nests th a t look like m ounds of m ud along w aterw ays. The p aren ts
take tu rn s sittin g on the egg to keep it warm and a fte r about 30 days the egg
hatches. Young flam ingos are born w hite, w ith soft, downy feath ers and a stra ig h t
bill. Both ad u lt birds look a fte r th e newborn flam ingo. The young leave th e nest
a fte r about five days to join o th er young flam ingos in sm all groups, re tu rn in g to
th e ir parents for food.
D. Scientists a re n ’t 100% sure why flam ingos stand on one leg, b u t they have some
theories. One theory says th a t it is to keep one leg warm. A nother idea is th a t
flam ingos are drying out one leg at a tim e. A th ird theory states th a t it helps
them deceive th e ir catch, because one leg looks more like a p lan t th an do two.
W hatever the reason, it is tru ly am azing th a t these top heavy birds can balance
on one leg for hours at a tim e.
E. A ncient E gyptians believed th a t flam ingos were th e living rep resen tatio n of the
god Ra. In the A m ericas, the Moche people of ancient P eru w orshipped n a tu re and
paid a g reat deal of atte n tio n to these birds and often depicted flam ingos in th e ir
a rt. However, A ndean m iners killed flam ingos fo r th e ir fa t, which is believed to
be a rem edy fo r tuberculosis, and in A ncient Rome th e ir tongues were considered
a delicacy.
F. Many people have plastic flam ingos in th e ir yards as ornam ents. This is a fun and
inexpensive way to add some elegance to one’s landscaping. In many p a rts of the
world flam ingos are popular collectibles, appearing in the form of m agnets, w ater
globes, and jewelry. They are also said to be an im age th a t people find to be calm ing
and exciting a t the same tim e. For these purposes people buy m illions of plastic
flam ingos annually all around th e world.
G. Flam ingos have been affected in many ways by global w arm ing. One of th e biggest
concerns is m aking nests and laying eggs. Flam ingos depend on rain fall to help
them m ate and w ithout adequate rain they won’t engage in it. Many researchers
find th a t global w arm ing reduces th e chance of ra in and can cause d ro u g h t in some
of the areas where they live. This could mean a sig n ifican t reduction of offspring
in the years ahead.

According to Common Sense Media, “Y oung teens don’t yet have an “o ff” sw itch
in their brains. T hat m eans th a t they often act im pulsively. This lack of impulse
control, combined w ith online anonym ity, could lead tow ard dangerous behaviors:
cyber-bullying, inappropriate photo or video uploads, illegal downloads, m eeting
stra n g ers - even cheating. Because socializing is so im p o rtan t to young people, online
interactions can become p re tty intense - w hether th ey ’re playing games, c h attin g w ith
friends, or sh arin g w ork.”

Here are some tip s on how to give children m onitored access to th e In tern et:
• spend tim e w ith your children online.
• ask to see th e ir Facebook page, th e ir Instagram s, and T w itter feed. It may seem
like a foreign te rrito ry , b u t it is im perative th a t paren ts talk to th e ir children about
social media. A t th is stage, it is not our job to try to protect them by isolating them .
It is our job to teach them how to deal w ith inform ation and w ith people.
• younger children often play on w ebsites such as Movie S ta r P lan et, Moshi
M onsters, and new ones pop up every day. Most of these sites teach extrem e
consum erism as children ‘play’ to accum ulate points or currency and use it to ‘b u y ’
stu ff: fu rn itu re , VIP passes, etc.; u rg in g your child to become ‘Rich and Fam ous.’
As responsible p arents, we need to prevent children from becoming m indless consum ers.
If you do allow your child to v isit these sites, then w atch them while they play.
• teach them not to talk to or chat w ith random stran g ers. T hat person w ith
a name G irlie45 could, possibly, be a m iddle-aged predator. Teach them th a t everything
th a t they p u t online is there forever. Anyone can cu t, copy and paste pictures and
te x t. Teach them how to be safe online because today it is as im p o rtan t as safety
basics about locking the door or not playing w ith m atches.

A. E ight thousand feet above sea level, th is five-century-old pre-Columbian site was
once home to the Incas. U ntil A m erican h isto rian H iram Bingham publicized his
findings of the area in a book called “Across South A m erica,” the m ountain-top

B. Does the arrangem ent of the 25-ton sandstone blocks at Stonehenge suggest some
sort of spiritual prediction? No one really knows. Theories about the nearly 5,000-year-

A. Max Factor is often called the fa th e r of m odern make-up. The success story started
in M ax’s early years. He was born Max Faktorowicz in Lodz, Poland, near the
R ussian border, around 1877. W ith 10 children, his paren ts could not afford
form al education fo r th e ir children, so a t th e age of eight Max was placed in an
apprenticeship to a pharm acist. Years of m ixing potions fo r th e pharm acy developed
his fascination w ith cosmetics.
B. Eventually, Max opened his own shop in a suburb of Moscow, selling hand-made
cosmetics. “H ealth and beauty products” became an im portant business for him.
A traveling theatrical troupe bought and wore M ax’s make-up and wigs while
perform ing for Russian nobility. Soon Max became the official cosmetic expert for
members of the Russian court, the Imperial Grand Opera and the Ballet.
C. In 1904, Max and his fam ily moved to th e U nited States. Max Faktorowicz was
now Max Factor, th e name given to him a t Ellis Island by im m igration officials.
Now Max F actor was dream ing of movie actors and actresses using his products.
He moved his fam ily to Los Angeles. In 1914, Max Factor created a make-up
specifically for movie actors th a t, unlike thick th eatrical m ake-up, would not crack.
D. The developm ent of color film production required the Max Factor company to
develop a new line of products. The existing make-up reflected su rro u n d in g colors.
As a resu lt of how bad they looked, m any actors and actresses refused to appear
in color film s. A t th is tim e F rank Factor, M ax’s son, took the lead and developed
a suitable product. It had a solid cake form and was applied w ith a damp sponge,
which concealed skin im perfections.
E. Soon actresses and other women w orking on movies sets were stealing new m ake
up to use in th e ir personal lives. Its only disadvantage fo r everyday use was th a t
it made the skin too dark u n d er reg u lar lights, having been designed fo r the
pow erful lights used in film studios. Frank Factor began developing lig h te r shades.
In 1937, new “Pan-Cake” make-up was released to th e public and it became one of
the fa stest selling cosmetic item s.
F. A fte r Max F actor’s death, Frank Factor took the name Max Factor, J r ., and
expanded the still private cosmetics firm . The company began development of a
sm ear-proof lipstick which would not fade. A special machine was constructed to
te st the form ula’s resistance. The resu lt was “Tru-Color” lipstick in six shades of
red. D uring W orld W ar II, Max Factor developed make-up shades for use by the US
M arine Corps in camouflaging faces.

A. M odern W estern th e a tre conies in large m easure from ancient Greek dram a, from
which it takes technical term inology, classification into genres, and many of its
them es, stock characters, and plot elem ents. The Greeks also developed th e concepts
of dram atic criticism , acting as a career, and th e a tre arch itectu re. The th e a tre of
ancient Greece consisted of th ree types of dram a: tragedy, comedy, and the saty r
play.
B. W estern theatre developed and expanded considerably under the Romans. The Roman
historian Livy wrote th a t the Romans first experienced th eatre in the 4th century
BC. The theatre of ancient Rome was a thriving and diverse a rt form , ranging from
festival perform ances of street theatre, nude dancing, and acrobatics, to the staging
of broadly appealing situation comedies, to the high-style, verbally elaborate tragedies.
C. Theatre took on m any d ifferen t form s in the W est between the 15th and 19th
centuries, including commedia dell’a rte and m elodram a. The general tren d was
away from the poetic dram a of th e Greeks and th e Renaissance and tow ard a more
n atu ra listic prose style of dialogue, especially following th e In d u stria l R evolution.
Theatre today, broadly defined, includes perform ances of plays and m usicals,
ballets, operas and various oth er form s.
D. The eighteenth century in B ritain introduced women to the stage, which would
have been extrem ely inappropriate before. These women were looked at as celebrities
b u t on the other hand, it was still very new and revolutionary th a t they were on
the stage and some said they were unladylike and looked down on. Charles II did
not like young men playing the p a rts of young women, so he asked th a t women
play th e ir own p arts.
E. T heatre took a big pause d u rin g 1642 and 1660 in England because of Cromwell’s
Interregnum . T heatre was seen as som ething sinful and th e P u rita n s tried very
hard to drive it out of th e ir society. Because of th is stag n an t period, once Charles
II came back to the throne in 1660, th e atre (among oth er arts) exploded because
of a lot of influence from France, where Charles was in exile th e years previous
to his reign.
F. S tagecraft is a term referrin g to the technical aspects of theatrical, film , and video
production. It includes constructing scenery, hanging and focusing of lighting,
design and procurem ent of costumes, makeup, props, stage m anagem ent, and
recording and m ixing of sound. Considered a technical ra th e r than an artistic field,
it is equally crucial for the practical im plem entation of a designer’s artistic idea.
G. W hile m ost m odern th e a tre companies rehearse one piece of th e atre a t a tim e,
perform th a t piece for a set “ru n ” , re tire the piece, and begin rehearsing a new
show, rep erto ry companies rehearse m ultiple shows a t one tim e. R epertory th eatre
generally involves a group of sim ilarly accomplished actors, and relies more on the
rep u tatio n of the group th an on an individual s ta r actor.

Internet
In te rn e t is one of the g reatest tools we have today. Billions of bits of inform ation,
unlim ited ways to connect, games to play, videos to w atch, th in g s to learn. T here’s
som ething fo r everyone. We Facebook, tum ble, stum ble, and tw eet more now than
ever. Social media is connecting us in incredible ways. You can create com m unities of
like-m inded people th a t would never meet before on th e In te rn e t. B ut, due to th is, we
are spending copious am ounts of tim e on th e W orld W ide W eb, and i t ’s slowly
changing who you are as a person.
I w ent for a long period of tim e where I d id n ’t read a book. I finally got around
to picking up a few new books and as soon as I sta rte d reading them , I struggled.
I couldn’t hold concentration like I used to. I would read a whole parag rap h w ith my
m ind elsewhere or had th is constant anxious feeling to do som ething else, even when
there was absolutely nothing else to do. My m ind would jum p from one th o u g h t to
another and I barely could read a chapter in one sittin g . A talked to a few people
about th is, and I even looked to th e tru s ty In te rn e t fo r my solution. I found th a t I ’m
not alone, m any people rep o rt th e same type of concentration sh ift. The reason for
th is is the inform ation overload via In tern et.
We take in 34 gigabytes of inform ation each day now. T hat is 5 tim es more th an
we did 20 years ago. There is so m uch going on in our m inds th a t we rarely spend
any tim e on one p a rtic u la r b it of inform ation because th ere is always som ething new
and more in trig u in g ju s t around th e corner. W hen we land on a webpage, we spend
the average of about 50 seconds, if th a t, and know th a t th ere are a t least 5 other
links we can click on the page. W e can still concentrate, b u t our m inds would much
ra th e r be focused on a series of th in g s, not one th o u g h t.
Not only is it alterin g our concentration on reading long w orks, b u t i t ’s changing
“how” we read. We no longer read; we skim . This is our way of adapting to th is
inform ation overload. It would take too long to process all th is inform ation and we
don’t need everything. W e sift th ro u g h th e inform ation and get to the m ain point or
relevant m aterial.
The way th ings are w ritten online is changing fo r us as well. For anyone who has
w ritten a blog post, i t ’s a much d ifferen t style of w ritin g compared to novels and
even new spaper articles. The th in g s we read online are as clear and concise as possible.
A djectives are a th in g of the past. The inform ation is usually already condensed for
you, and is separated into neat headlines th a t make it easy to scan th e page in a few
seconds. We don’t focus on com prehension anym ore, we know w hat w e’re looking for
and we find it quickly.
The way we are reading th in g s is ju s t the s ta rt, the way we are th in k in g is
changing too. Before, we had calm linear th o u g h ts, one th in g led to another. Now,
our th o u g h ts are jum ping back and fo rth between so m any th in g s. W e have one
th o u g h t, which leads to fo u r or five o th er non-related th o u g h ts, and th en some tim e
la te r we re tu rn to the original th o u g h t. This is a d irect resu lt of our a tte n tio n being
focused on so many th ings for so little tim e on th e web. There is always a link th a t
can take us somewhere new and s ta r t a new tra in of th o u g h ts.

Llandudno
Llandudno is tru ly a fine and handsome place, b u ilt on a generously proportioned
bay and lined along its broad fro n t w ith a huddle of prim b u t gracious nineteenth-
century hotels th a t rem inded me in the fading lig h t of a lineup of V ictorian nannies.
Llandudno was purpose-built as a reso rt in the m id-1800s, and it cultivates a nice
old-fashioned air. I don’t suppose th a t Lewis C arroll, who fam ously strolled th is fro n t
w ith little Alice Liddell in the 1860s, would notice a g reat deal of change today.
To my consternation, the town was packed w ith w eekending pensioners. Buses from
all over were parked along the side streets, every hotel I called at was full, and in
every dining room I could see crowds — veritable oceans — of nodding w hite heads
spooning soup and conversing happily. Goodness knows w hat had b ro u g h t them to the
W elsh seaside a t th is bleak tim e of year.
F a rth e r on along the fro n t th ere stood a clutch of guesthouses, large and v irtu ally
indistinguishable, and a few of them had vacancy signs in th e ir windows. I had eight
or ten to choose from , which always p u ts me in a m ild fre t because I have an u n errin g
in stin c t for choosing badly. My wife can survey a row of guesthouses and in sta n tly
id en tify the one ru n by a w hite-haired widow w ith a fondness fo r children, and
sparkling bathroom facilities, w hereas I can generally count on choosing th e one ru n
by a guy w ith a grasping m anner, and th e so rt of cough th a t makes you wonder where
he p uts the phlegm. Such, I felt, would be th e case to n ig h t.
All the guesthouses had boards out fro n t listin g th e ir m any am enities — COLOUR
TV, H O SPITALITY TRAYS, FULL CENTRAL HEATING, and the coyly euphem istic
E N SUITE ALL ROOMS, m eaning p rivate bathroom s. One place offered satellite TV
and a tro u se r press, and another boasted CURRENT FIRE CERTIFICATE — som ething
I had never th o u g h t to look for in a B&B. All th is heightened my sense of unease and
doom. How could I possibly choose in tellig en tly among such a v ariety of options?
I selected a place th a t looked reasonable enough from th e outside — its board
prom ised a color TV and coffee m aking facilities, about all I require these days fo r a
S aturday n ig h t — b u t from th e m om ent I set foot in th e door I knew it was a bad
choice. I was about to tu rn and flee when th e owner em erged from a back room and
stopped my re tre a t w ith an u n en th u siastic “Yes?” A sh o rt conversation revealed th a t
a single room w ith b reak fast was fo r £19.50. It was en tirely out of th e question th a t
I would stay th e n ig h t in such a dism al place at such an ex o rb itan t price, so I said,
“T hat sounds fin e ,” and signed in. W ell, i t ’s so h ard to say no.
My room was everything I expected it to be — cold and cheerless w ith lam inated
fu rn itu re , grubbily m atted carpet, and those m ysterious ceiling stains th a t b rin g to
m ind a neglected corpse in the room above. There was a tra y of coffee th in g s b u t the
cups were disgusting, and the spoon was stuck to the tray .
The bathroom , fa in tly illum inated by a d ista n t lig h t activated by a len g th of strin g ,
had curling floor tiles and years of accum ulated d irt packed in to every corner. I peered
a t the yellowy tile around the b ath and sink and realized w hat th e landlord did w ith
his phlegm. A b ath was out of th e question, so I threw some cold w ater on my face,
dried it w ith a towel th a t had th e te x tu re of shredded w heat, and gladly took my
leave.

A. The m ountains of Scotland (we call them the H ighlands) are a wild and b eau tifu l
p a rt of Europe. A golden eagle flies over the m ountains. A deer walks th ro u g h
th e silence of the forest. Salmon and tro u t swim in th e clean, pure w ater of the
rivers. Some say th a t not only fish swim in the deep w ater of Loch Ness. Speak
to th e people living by th e Loch. Each person has a story of th e m onster, and some

B. Tresco is a beautiful island w ith no cars, crowds or noise — ju st flowers, birds, long
sandy beaches and the Tresco Abbey Garden. Jo h n and W endy P y a tt welcome you
to the Island Hotel, famous fo r delicious food, com fort and b rillian t service. You
will appreciate superb accommodation, free saunas and the indoor swimming pool.
C. The Camel and W ildlife S afari is a unique m ix tu re of th e tra d itio n a l and m odern.
K enya’s countryside su its the S afari purposes exceptionally well. T ourists will have
a chance to explore the bush country near Sam buru, to trav el on a camel back or
to sleep out under the stars. M odern safari vehicles are always available fo r those
who p refer com fort.
D. A rrival can be the h ardest p a rt of a trip . It is late, you are road-w eary, and
everything is new and strang e. You need an affordable place to sleep, som ething
to eat and d rink, and probably a way to get around. B ut in general, i t ’s a w onderful
trip , full of w onderful and unusual places. W h eth er it is th e firs t stop on a trip
or the fifth city visited, every trav eller feels a little overwhelmed stepping onto a
new stre et in a new city.
E. No zoo has enough money to provide basic h ab itats or environm ents fo r all the
species they keep. M ost anim als are p u t in a to tally a rtificial environm ent, isolated
from everything they would m eet in th e ir n a tu ra l h ab itat. M any will agree th a t
th is isolation is harm ful to th e m ost of zoo in h ab itan ts, it can even am ount to

business experts to provide w orld-leading accommodation fo r all our anim als, to
more fully engage and inform people about conservation issues, to redesign certain
aspects of Zoo layout.
G. Leave-no-trace cam ping is an increasingly popular approach to trav el in w ilderness
areas. As the term suggests, th e goal is fo r the cam per to leave as little im pact
as possible on the place he is visiting. One of its m ottos is “Take nothing bu t

hour and a half, and asked if we could have lunch together. His secretary w rote to
say th a t he would m eet me at the inform ation booth a t noon, and at twelve o’clock
sharp I saw him coming th ro u g h the crowd.
He was a stra n g er to me — my m other divorced him th ree years ago and I h a d n ’t
been w ith him since — b u t as soon as I saw him I felt th a t he was my fa th e r, my
flesh and blood, my fu tu re and my doom. I knew th a t when I was grown I would be
som ething like him; I would have to plan my cam paigns w ithin his lim itations. He
was a big, good-looking m an, and I was terrib ly happy to see him again.
He stru ck me on the back and shook my hand. “H i, C harlie,” he said. “H i, boy. I ’d
like to take you up to my club, b u t i t ’s in the Sixties, and if you have to catch an
early tra in I guess we’d b e tte r get som ething to eat around h ere.” He p u t his arm
around me, and I smelled my fa th e r the way my m other sn iffs a rose. It was a rich
compound of whiskey, after-shave lotion, shoe polish, woollens, and the rankness of a
m ature male. I hoped th a t someone would see us to g eth er. I wished th a t we could be
photographed. I w anted some record of our having been together.
W e w ent out of the statio n and up a side stre et to a re sta u ra n t. It was still early,
and th e place was em pty. The b arten d er was q u arrellin g w ith a delivery boy, and th ere
was one very old w aiter in a red coat down by the kitchen door. W e sat down, and
my fa th e r hailed the w aiter in a loud voice. “Kellner!” he shouted. “Garcon! You!” His
boisterousness in the em pty re sta u ra n t seemed out of place. “Could we have a little
service here!” he shouted. Then he clapped his hands. This caught th e w a ite r’s
atte n tio n , and he shuffled over to our table.
“W ere you clapping your hands a t me?” he asked.
“Calm down, calm dow n,” my fa th e r said. “It is n ’t too much to ask of you — if it
w ouldn’t be too much above and beyond the call of d uty, we would like a couple of
B eefeater G ibsons.”
“I don’t like to be clapped a t,” th e w aiter said.
“I should have brought my w h istle,” my fa th e r said. “I have a w histle th a t is
audible only to the ears of old w aiters. Now, take ou t your little pad and your little
pencil and see if you can get th is stra ig h t: two B eefeater Gibsons. R epeat a fte r me:
two B eefeater G ibsons.”
“I th in k you’d b e tte r go somewhere else,” the w aiter said quietly.
“T h a t,” said my fa th e r, “is one of the m ost b rillian t suggestions I have ever heard.
Come on, C harlie.”
I followed my fa th e r out of th a t re s ta u ra n t into another. He was not so boisterous
th is tim e. Our drinks came, and he cross-questioned me about th e baseball season. He
then stru ck th e edge of his em pty glass w ith his knife and began shouting again.
“Garcon! You! Could we trouble you to b rin g us two more of th e sam e.”
“How old is the boy?” the w aiter asked.
“T h a t,” my fa th e r said, “is none of your business.”
“I ’m sorry, s ir ,” the w aiter said, “b u t I w on’t serve the boy an o th er d rin k .”
“W ell, I have some news for yo u ,” my fa th e r said. “I have some very in te re stin g
news for you. This doesn’t happen to be th e only re sta u ra n t in New York. They’ve
opened another on the corner. Come on, C harlie.”
He paid the bill, and I followed him out of th a t re sta u ra n t into another ...
12 The n a rra to r was looking forw ard to m eeting w ith his fa th e r because he
1) hoped th a t his parents would get back together.
2) expected to get a valuable present from him.
3) w anted to stay w ith him in New York.
4) m issed the feeling of being w ith him.

A. L ithuania is situ ated on th e eastern Baltic coast and borders L atvia in the n o rth ,
th e K aliningrad region of th e R ussian Federation and Poland in th e southw est, and
Belarus in the southw est and east. The geom etrical centre of Europe lies in eastern
L ithuania 25km n o rth of its capital V ilnius. The landscape varies between lowland
plains and hilly uplands and has a complex netw ork of rivers.
B. L ithuania has historically been the least developed of the Baltic republics, w ith a
sm aller in d u stria l base and g re a ter dependence on ag ricu ltu re. Sugar beet, cereals,
potatoes and vegetables are th e m ain crops. L ith u an ia’s foreign trad e has gradually
changed d u rin g the 1990s, and now the European Union, not R ussia, is its m ain
tra d in g p artn er.
C. L ithuanian is the m other tongue fo r 80% of th e population. A fte r the country
joined the European Union in 2004 th is language has become one of the EU official
languages. L ithuania has a large num ber of dialects fo r such a small te rrito ry ,
including H igh L ithuanian and Low L ithuanian.
D. L ithuania offers d ifferen t opportunities fo r a nice vacation. You can explore a
range of large sand dunes and pine forests while hiking in th e C uronian Spit
N ational P ark , take p a rt in some action sports in N ida, a village th a t makes a tru e
paradise for sailing, w indsurfing, paragliding and k itin g , or try out more extrem e
sports, such as h ot-air ballooning and gliding.
E. Those who are in terested in folklore may enjoy th e ir stay in L ith u an ia in any
season of the year. The M ardi Gras celebrations are held in various L ithuanian
cities and sm all towns a t th e beginning of February. The Folklore Festival is held
in V ilnius’ Old Town d u ring in May. There you can see c ra ft fairs, ta ste trad itio n al
dishes, join song and p arties and listen to psalms.
F. L ith u an ia’s TV m arket is dom inated by commercial channels. The radio m arket is
sim ilarly com petitive. L ith u an ia’s media are free and operate independently of the
state, and there are no governm ent-ow ned new spapers. However, politicians do
occasionally attem p t to influence editorial policy.
G. In cities and towns th ere are buses and trolleybuses, which usually ru n from 05.00
to 23.00, b u t tim es do vary between routes. You can’t pay th e fare to th e d riv er
in cash b u t you can buy coupons from him . Coupons can be also bought a t news

I arrived a t the cloud forest in Ecuador ten days ago. I was one of a group of
twelve volunteers th a t w anted to save the rain fo rest. My reasons fo r going on th is
trip were twofold: firstly , I w anted to collect and b rin g back alive some of the
fascinating anim als, birds and reptiles th a t inhabit th is region; secondly, I had long
cherished a dream to see South Am erica: not the inhabited South A m erica w ith its
macadam roads, its cocktail bars, its express tra in s ro arin g th ro u g h a landscape
denuded of its flora and fau n a by the beneficial influences of civilization. I w anted to
see one of those few rem aining p a rts of the continent th a t had escaped th is fa te and
rem ained more or less as it was when A m erica was firs t discovered: I w anted to see
its rain fo rests, its vast lands of untouched, pure, n a tu ra l w ildlife. We were w orking
together w ith local people and scientists and we were learning and seeing new things
every day. O ur lodge was com fortable, had b reath tak in g views and was in the middle
of the rain fo rest. It was a tw o-hour walk from th e nearest road, and it was even
fu rth e r to the nearest village.
The ra in fo rest is tru ly an astonishing place. There are thousands of species of
plants here and more th an 700 species of birds. There are m illions of insects and
scientists th in k there may be around fo rty mammal species th a t haven’t even been
discovered. B ut w hat I was really amazed a t how everything depends on everything
else for survival.
Every tree in the rain fo rest is covered in a species of an o th er kind. The black wasp
uses the ta ra n tu la as a nest fo r its eggs, plants need monkeys fo r seed dispersal, and
the clouds are necessary for th e survival of th e whole rain fo rest. This is because they
provide m oisture. The problem is, clim ate change is causing the clouds to rise by 1—2
m eters every year. W hat will happen to th e plants th a t need th is m oisture? W h at will
happen to the anim als th a t need those plants?
Our job was to w atch th is changing ecosystem. One of my fav o u rite projects was
the bird survey. Every day a group of us set out a t around five o’clock w ith a local
scientist. A t th is tim e of the m orning th e a ir was filled w ith th e sound of b ird song.
W e had to identify the birds we hear and see and w rite down our findings. L ater, we
entered all our inform ation into a com puter at the lodge.
We also set up cam eras to record pum as, spectacled bears and o th er large mammals.
It was always exciting to see pum as because it m eant th ere were o th er anim als around
th a t they would norm ally h u n t. W e fixed the cam eras to trees around the reserve,
and every day a team of volunteers collected the cam eras memory cards.
There was a lot to do in th e rain fo rest, b u t at least I felt like we were m aking a
difference.
However, soon I sta rte d collecting some anim als and insects. I realized th a t as soon
as the h u n tin g got under way and the collection increased, m ost of my tim e would be
taken up in looking a fte r the anim als, and I should not be able to w ander fa r from
camp. So I was eager to get into the fo rest while I had th e chance.
N evertheless, I should m ention the fact th a t w ithout th e help of th e natives you
would stand little chance of catching th e anim als you w ant, fo r they know th e forest,
having been born in it. Once th e anim al is caught, however, it is your job to keep it
alive and well. If you left th is p a rt of it to th e natives you would get precious little
back alive.
12 W hich reason for the trip to th e rain fo rest was NOT m entioned?
1) Dream of visitin g South Am erica.
2) G athering a collection.
3) T h irst for adventures.
4) Saving rainforests.

Scarcely had we settled into R eution th e Straw berry-pink Villa before my m other
decided th a t I was run n in g wild, and th a t it was necessary fo r me to have some sort
of education. As usual when a problem arose, th e en tire fam ily flu n g itse lf w ith
enthusiasm into the task of solving it. Each member had his or her own idea of w hat
was best for me.
S ittin g under th e open window in th e tw ilig h t, I had listened w ith in te re st, not
unm ixed w ith indignation, to th e fam ily discussion of my fate. Finally my m other
decided th a t George would be a good teacher fo r me. Now it was settled , I wondered
vaguely who George was, and why it was so necessary fo r me to have lessons. B ut the
dusk was thick w ith flow er-scents, and the olive-groves were dark, m ysterious, and
fascinating. I forgot about the im m inent danger of being educated, and w ent off w ith
Roger to h u n t for glow-worms in the spraw ling bram bles.
L ater I discovered th a t George was my b ro th e r’s frien d and he had come to Corfu
to w rite. There was nothing very unusual about th is, fo r all L a rry ’s acquaintances in
those days were eith er authors, poets, or painters.
My new teacher came over to the villa to discuss my education w ith M other, and
we were introduced. We regarded each o th er w ith suspicion. George was a very tall
and extrem ely th in man w ith a brown beard and a p air of large spectacles. He had a
deep, melancholy voice, a dry and sarcastic sense of hum or. However, he was not
upset by th e fact th a t th ere were no school-books available on the island; he simply
looked th ro u g h his own lib rary and appeared on th e appointed day arm ed w ith his
own selection of books. He p atien tly ta u g h t me Geography from th e maps in th e back
of an ancient copy of P ears Encyclopedia, English from books th a t ranged from W ilde
to Gibbon, French from the book called “Le P e tit Larousse” , and m athem atics from
memory. From my point of view the m ost im p o rtan t th in g was th a t we devoted some
of our tim e to n a tu ra l history, and George carefully ta u g h t me how to observe and
how to note down observations in a diary. A t once my en th u siastic in te re st in n atu re
became focused, for I found th a t by w ritin g th in g s down I could learn and rem em ber
m uch more. The only m orning th a t I was ever on tim e fo r my lessons were those
which were given up to n a tu ra l history.
Every m orning a t nine George would come into th e little dining-room of the villa,
sit a t the table m ethodically a rran g in g th e books. He would droop over th e exercise-
book pensively, pulling a t his beard. Then in his large, clear w ritin g he would set the
task for me to solve.
“If it took two caterpillars a week to eat eight leaves, how long would four
caterpillars take to eat the same num ber? Now, apply yourself to th a t” .
W hile I was stru g g lin g w ith th e apparently insoluble problem of th e caterp illar
appetites, George was practicing some dancing moves in th e hall as at th a t tim e he
was engaged in learning some of th e local dances, fo r which he had a passion. Through
all th is I would be w atching him , fascinated, th e exercise-book lying fo rg o tten in
fro n t of me. M athem atics was not one of o ur successful subjects.
In geography we made b e tte r progress, fo r George was able to give a more zoological
tinge to the lesson. W e drew g ian t maps and th en filled in th e various places of
in te re st, tog eth er w ith draw ings of the m ost exciting anim als and birds to be found
there.
14 George was
1) a teacher.
2) a dancer.
3) a w riter.
4) a m athem atician.

A. Good footballers m ust have som ething in th e ir genes. Scientists have discovered a
link between the length of a fo otballer’s rin g fin g er and th e ir ability as a player.
They compared the rin g and index fingers of top players. Players whose ring
fingers were longer compared to th e ir index fingers were more likely to be elite
players. Some of the players found to have long rin g fingers are Bryan Robson,
Ossie A rdiles, Glenn Hoddle, S ir Stanley M atthew s and Gazza.
B. Fitness training is absolutely necessary for a first-rate football team. Jogging up and
down the stadium a few times is not enough. W hat footballers really need is a quick
start. Footballers can get this ability to s ta rt running very quickly by using a training
method called ‘plyom etrics’. In the 1960s, athletes in the Soviet Union used plyometric
exercises to improve their results in jum ping. Step by step, the method has become
very im portant for many sports th a t include sprinting and jum ping.
C. In the past, footballers used to have a big fried b reak fast — or even a roast
dinner — before a football m atch. In th e new era of professional football, the menu
of m odern players has been radically reform ed. A rsenal m anager, A rsene W enger,
is known for his scientific m ethod of feeding his team . W hen he f ir s t came to the
club in 1996, he at once changed the players’ dinner m enus. S ugar, red m eat,
chips, fried foods and dairy products were out. Vegetables, fish, chicken and plenty
of w ater were in.
D. French diet specialists heavily criticised th e pre-m atch diet of th e England players
in Euro ‘96. Their m enu of tom ato soup and sp ag h etti was said to be more likely
to produce wind th an a win. Potatoes, according to French scientists, make the
best meal on the day of a game. They have glucides, which give the player a lot
of energy. They also include useful vitam ins. A ccording to one piece of research,
a player should eat 200-3 0 0 gram s of m ashed potatoes, boiled fo r 20 m inutes,
exactly th ree hours before going to th e game.
E. Physics can explain a football wonder — the banana kick. This happens when a
ball suddenly changes its direction a t th e end of its flig h t. A t a certain speed, the
a ir flow ing over a flying ball becomes ‘tu rb u le n t’. This means th a t th e a ir moves
irreg u la rly over the ball. As th e ball slows down, th e a ir becomes ‘sm ooth’ again.
This slowdown makes th e ball tu rn dram atically, creating the w onderful ‘b an an a’
kicks th a t the spectators like so much.
F. These days, footballs are made in a design based on the ‘Buckm inster Ball’. The
American architect Richard Buckm inster Fuller came up w ith the design when he
was trying to find a way for constructing buildings using a minimum of m aterials.
The ball is a series of geometrical figures, which can be fitted together to make a
round body. The modern football is in fact a Buckm inster Ball consisting of 32 pieces.
W hen they are joined together and filled w ith a ir they make a perfect sphere.
G. R esearch has shown th a t w atching the W orld Cup is good fo r our h ealth — even
if your team goes out on penalties. The scien tists suggest th a t a common in te re st
and a nationalistic pride are very im p o rtan t. The com petition makes people less
concentrated on th e ir own problem s. They are also more p a tien t and can cope w ith
crises m uch easier. W atching football can, however, also be disappointing, especially
when it comes to the decisions of referees and officials. Besides, w atching penalties
can be very nervous.

A. By now W imbledon has become a popular national festival, to g eth er w ith Ascot
and the Cup Final. M any people in B ritain don’t know th a t tennis was firs t played
in W ales. It was there, in 1873, th a t M ajor W alter W ingfield played a game w ith
the recently invented rubber balls and enjoyed it so m uch, th a t he decided to
develop the standards of the game. He published th e firs t book of tennis rules
la te r th a t year. The firs t W imbledon cham pionship was held a few years la te r in
1877 and the B ritish Lawn Tennis A ssociation form ed in 1888.
B. Good m ental p reparation is necessary fo r professional ten n is players. In a long
m atch they can be on the court fo r several hours w ith nobody to talk to. There
can be hundreds of stops from th e crowd, th e ir opponent and, especially at
W im bledon, the rain. Players need to practice m ethods fo r im proving th e ir
concentration and for m otivating them selves when the game is going against them .
They are often ta u g h t to im agine some situ atio n s, such as a tense tie-break. Then
they im agine w hat to do w ith it.
C. M any players find it impossible to stay calm in th e stressfu l situ atio n of a long
tennis m atch and let th e ir tem per out. Jo h n McEnroe was fam ous fo r his quarrels
w ith referees. Several players have been given w arnings fo r throw ing th e racket
or sw earing. Some players lose m atches they could easily win because th e ir m ind
lets them down. P a t R after said th a t he couldn’t breathe in his 2000 W imbledon
final. The stress of being near th e victory can be too much fo r a person.
D. The power of today’s tennis game is only p a rtly created by the ath letes them selves.
Much of it comes from th e ir rackets. New designs mean players can h it the ball
w ith more speed and accuracy th a n ever before. It sta rte d in the 1970s when the
trad itio n al wooden racket was replaced w ith m etal. Since th en d ifferen t m aterials
have been used. G raphite has made th e biggest influence. Now th e g rap hite can
be mixed w ith m aterials such as boron and tita n iu m to produce even stro n g er, and
lig h ter, rackets.
E. Speed is n ’t always a good th in g . Many fans are com plaining th a t the speed of the
game is m aking tennis boring to w atch. A fte r two years of testin g , a new ball has
now been invented which could slow down ten n is and make it more exciting to
w atch. The ball is p u t togeth er in exactly th e same way as th e one used now, b u t
is 6% larg er in diam eter. The bigger ball gives th e receiver 10% more reaction
tim e in which to re tu rn the serve. So th e num ber of aces — serves in a m atch
th a t the receiver fails to re tu rn — will be fa r fewer.
F. W hen Irishm an Jo h n Boland travelled to A thens fo r th e firs t m odern Olympic
Games in 1896, he had no idea he would re tu rn home w ith the gold medal in
tennis. B ut then, he had no idea he would compete eith er — he w ent to w atch the
competion. In com parison, to d ay ’s Olympic ten n is players include some of the best
athletes in the world. They are used to fiv e-star hotels and hundreds of thousands
of dollars, b u t a t the Olympic Games they will stay in th e Olympic Village and
compete for nothing b u t a gold medal.
G. The W im bledon tennis tournam en t is fam ous fo r pigeons th a t sometimes come
flying on to Centre C ourt and stop th e game. So, producers of a video tennis game
designed fo r PlayStation2 decided to use specially train ed hom ing pigeons, decorated
w ith the gam e’s logo. Twenty birds will be spray-painted w ith the V irtual Tennis
2 logo and train ed to fly in and out of th e home of B ritish ten n is d u rin g the
m atches of th e W imbledon cham pionship. The ad v ertisin g pigeons will go stra ig h t

Lily and I had planned a movie m arathon weekend. I was exhausted from work and
she was stressed out from her classes, so w e’d prom ised to spend th e whole weekend
parked on her couch and subsist solely on pizza and crisps. No healthy food. No diet
Coke. A nd absolutely no s tric t, official clothes. Even though we talked all the tim e,
we h ad n ’t spent any real tim e to g eth er since I ’d moved to the city.
W e’d been friends since the eig h th grade, when I firs t saw Lily crying alone a t a
cafeteria table. She’d ju s t moved in w ith h er grandm other and sta rte d a t our school
in Avon, a fte r it became clear th a t h er p aren ts w eren’t coming home any tim e soon.
The day I found her crying alone in the cafeteria was th e day her grandm other had
forced her to chop off her d irty dreadlocks and w ear a dress, and Lily was not very
happy about it. Som ething about th e way she talked, th e way she said, “T h a t’s so nice
of you ,” and “L et’s ju s t forget about i t ”, charm ed me, and we im m ediately became
friends. W e’d been inseparable th ro u g h th e re st of high school, and lived in th e same
room fo r all fo u r years a t Brown College. Lily h ad n ’t yet decided w hether she p referred
girlish dresses or rough leather jackets, b u t we complemented each o th er well. And
I m issed her. Because w ith her f ir s t year as a g rad u ate stu d en t and my exhausting
w ork, we h a d n ’t seen a whole lot of each o th er lately.
Lily was studying fo r her Ph.D . in R ussian L iteratu re a t Columbia U niversity and
w orking odd jobs every free second she w asn’t studying. H er grandm other barely had
enough money to support herself, and Lily had to pay fo r th e studies on her own.
However, she seemed to be fond of such a way of life. She loved R ussian cu ltu re ever
since her eighth-grade teacher told her th a t Lily looked how he had always pictured
Lolita, w ith her round face and curly black hair. She w ent directly home and read
N abokov’s “L olita” , and then read ev erything else Nabokov w rote. A nd Tolstoy. And
Gogol. And Chekhov. By the tim e we finished school, she was applying to Brown
College to work w ith a specific professor who had a degree in R ussian L iteratu re. On
interview ing a seventeen-year-old Lily th e professor declared h er one of th e m ost well-
read and passionate stu d en ts of R ussian lite ra tu re h e’d ever m et. She still loved it,
still studied R ussian gram m ar and could read an y th in g in its original.

A. The w orld’s firs t public passenger railw ay was b u ilt in G reat B ritain in 1826 and
ran between the in d u stria l n o rth -eastern towns of Stockton and D arlington. A fte r
180 y ears’ experience the B ritish say th a t th e ir tra in s still don’t seem to ru n
efficiently or even safely. On average, about 500 accidents w ith broken rail tracks
happen in the country every year.
B. The B ritish governm ent is prom ising to give £33.5 billion to m odernise the
railw ays before 2010. A nother £30 billion is to come from the p riv ate sector. The
m ain ta rg e t is to increase safety and speed. For example, new London-to-Scotland
high-speed tra in s significan tly reduce journey tim es and in 2004 a w arning system
was installed th ro u g h o u t th e country.
C. S tatistics show th a t only 12% of all journeys made in B ritain are by public
tra n sp o rt. The rem aining 88% are made by car. Every year B ritish people spend
about two weeks trav ellin g to and from work including nine days in th e ir own
cars. B ut anyone will say th is is n ’t a quick and easy way to trav el. In fact, a
journey from London to M anchester freq u en tly takes seven hours. A cyclist could
get there quicker.
D. Every year there are about h alf a m illion tra ffic jam s in B ritain . T hat is nearly
10,000 a week. There are hundreds of big tra ffic jam s every day. A ccording to
the forecast, the num ber of jam s will grow by 20 per cent over th e next ten years.
N early a q u a rte r B ritish people fin d them selves in a jam every day and 55 per
cent a t least once a week.
E. Nowadays many B ritish people take th e ir children to school by car. Twenty years
ago, nearly one in three p rim ary school children made th e ir own way to school.
Now only one child in nine makes th e ir own way. D uring th e school year a t 08:50
a.m . one car in five on the roads in any B ritish town is tak in g children to school.
The solution could be special school buses widely used in the USA.
F. Many scientists hope th a t new technologies allowing more people to work a t home
may help w ith tra ffic problems. Fewer people will work from 9 to 5 and trav el to
and from work d u rin g the ru sh hour. B ut only 15% of people now w ant to spend
more tim e w orking a t home. The workplace is, fo r m any people, a place to meet
other people and to talk to them , so they would miss it if they worked from home.
G. In 1903, the W rig h t b rothers made th e firs t aeroplane flig h t. It only lasted
12 seconds b u t changed the world forever. A cen tu ry later, a ir trav el is no longer
a m iracle, it is p a rt of everyday life. One billion a ir passengers now fly every
year — th a t’s equivalent to a six th of the w orld’s population. To make sure

Cry-baby
It was alm ost m idnight before they got around to giving the Oscars to the really
well-known personalities. A t firs t a series of guest sta rs had aw arded the prizes: to
the best designer, to the best special-effects m an, fo r the best technical invention for
m otion pictures d u ring the year, and to all the oth er people, so unknow n outside the
in d u stry , b u t so significant w ithin it.
I looked around the th e atre, recognizing m ost of th e w eighty faces in th e business,
b u t not caring much. You see, I was p re tty nervous. M yra Caldwell, whom I had
brought to the ceremony, was s ittin g th ere beside me, and rig h t across th e aisle was
Joan W eyland. Now, to get th e picture properly, you have to rem em ber th a t d u rin g
th a t p a rtic u la r year M yra had played the sensational supporting role in The Devil
Loses and had been called the g reatest find in th e h isto ry of pictures. B ut th a t was
the same year th a t Joan W eyland had stolen a big p ictu re called Calumet Centre rig h t
out from under the nose of one of the m ost fam ous fem ale sta rs in th e in d u stry . The
only other actress nom inated was not given much chance. Now in a few m inutes, they
were going to announce who had won th e Oscar fo r th e Best S upporting A ctress of
the year. It was the h o tte st Contest and everybody was aw are of it. F urth erm o re, it
was no secret th a t the two leading co n testan ts would be delighted to boil each other
in oil — win, lose, or draw . And here they were across th e aisle from each other. Do
you get why I was nervous?
Then the lig h ts w ent down. They were going to ru n sh o rt scenes from th e pictures
for which the actors and actresses had been nom inated. The supporting-actress pictures
were coming on, and here was Jo an W eyland in her grand scene from Calumet Centre.
The audience sta rte d to applaud as soon as they saw her.
A fte r th a t they ran a sh o rt episode from W hirlwind, showing th e o th er nominee, a
refugee actress called Tanya B raden. I had never seen th e p icture of the actress, and
the picture h a d n ’t made much money, b u t th ere was no doubt she could act! She
played the s ta r ’s m other and she made you believe it.
Then they ran M yra’s big m om ent in The Devil Loses. A fte r it was over, I tried to
guess who had the biggest chance.
“I th in k I w on,” M yra said to me.
The lights w ent up. The old actor, who had won the S upporting A ctor aw ard the
year before, came th ro u g h the cu rtain s and prepared to p resent the aw ard. I d id n ’t
see how I was going to live th ro u g h th e n ex t few m inutes. He got the envelope and
began opening it very slowly.
He was loving every second of it, the old man. Then he looked a t the little piece
of paper.
“The W in n er,” he said, th en paused again, “is Miss Tanya B raden, fo r her
perform ance in W hirlwind.”
W ell, I ’m not too sure about th e sequence of events th a t followed. I don’t rem em ber
the applause, because Joan let out a loud cry from across the aisle th a t drowned out
everything else. Then M yra sta rte d to cry. I don’t mean cry like th e ordinary person,
b u t I mean cry so th a t the building shook.
Then Joan jum ped to her feet and sta rte d out, and her m other accompanied her.
B ut I couldn’t do anything w ith M yra. The show was in te rru p te d and th e whole
th e a tre was sta rin g a t her. I picked her up and carried her out.

It w asn’t a very pleasant perform ance, b u t I th in k th ere is some excuse. A fte r all,
Joan is 8 years old, and M yra is only 6, and she is n ’t used to being up so late. I ’m
a little on her side anyway. And why not? I ’m her fath er.
14 The phrase M yra “had been called th e g reatest find in th e h isto ry of p ictu res” means
th a t
1) she found the best way to perform her role.
2) she was aw arded w ith a prize for th e best perform ance in th e h isto ry of cinema.

A. For 150 years A m erica was a B ritish colony. A t th a t tim e B ritish and A m erican
English were alm ost exactly th e same. W hen A m erica won the W ar of Independence
in 1776, it became a free country. The USA was quickly grow ing richer, and
m illions of Europeans came to settle here. They b ro u g h t new words and expressions
to the language. As a resu lt, English in A m erica began to develop in its own way
and today, th ere are certain differences in pronunciation, gram m ar, vocabulary
and spelling between A m erican and B ritish English.
B. Typical A m erican teenagers are in fact very ordinary. They th in k th e ir teachers
make them work too hard, they love th e ir p aren ts b u t are sure they don’t
u n derstand anything, and th e ir friendships are th e m ost im p o rtan t th in g s in th e ir
lives. Some of them do have a lot of money to spend, b u t usually they have earned
it them selves. Most young people take jobs while they are in school. They work
a t movie th e atres, fast-food re sta u ra n ts, gas statio n s, and stores to pay fo r th e ir
clothes and en tertain m en t. Maybe th is is w hat makes them so independent from
th e ir parents a t such a young age?
C. Is it possible to have one device w ith the functions of a TV-set, a PC and the
Internet? W ith the advent of In tern et TV it has become a reality. Imagine w atching
a film on TV and g etting inform ation on the actors in the film at the same time!
To enter web-addresses and w rite e-mails you use a remote control and an on-screen
keyboard or an optional wireless keyboard. By clicking a bu tto n , you can also read
adverts, ‘c h at’ w ith a friend, plan your holiday and play your favourite video games.
And in the fu tu re you’ll be able to change the plot of the film you are watching!
D. W hen do you stop being a child and become an ad u lt? There are lots of laws about
the age when you can s ta rt doing th in g s. In B ritain , fo r example, you can get
m arried a t 16, b u t you cannot get a ta tto o u n til you are 18. In m ost A m erican
states you can have a driving licence a t 17, b u t you cannot d rin k u n til you are
21. In R ussia you can be p u t in prison when you are 16, b u t you cannot vote u n til
you are 18. In fact, m ost European countries and th e US have the same age fo r
voting: 18. Many people, however, th in k th a t th is is u n fair. They would like to
vote a t an earlier age.
E. Blue jeans were a by-product of the Gold R ush. The man who invented jeans, Levi
S trauss, em igrated from G erm any to San Francisco in 1850. Levi was 20 years
old, and he decided to sell clothes to the m iners who were in C alifornia in search
of gold. W hen he was told th a t durable tro u sers were th e m ost needed item of
clothing, Levi began m aking jeans of heavy te n t canvas. Levi’s jeans were an
im m ediate success. Soon he sw itched from canvas to a cotton fabric which came
from Nimes, a city in France. The m iners called it ‘denim ’ and bought a lot of
tro u sers from S trauss.
F. Some fifty years ago people h a d n ’t even heard of com puters, and today we cannot
im agine our life w ithout them . Com puter technology is now the fastest-grow ing
in d u stry in the world. The f ir s t com puter was th e size of a m inibus and weighed
a ton. Today, its job can be done by a chip th e size of a pinhead. A nd th e revolution
is still going on. Very soon w e’ll have com puters th a t w e’ll wear on our w rists or
even in our glasses and ear-rings. Such wearable com puters are now being developed
in the USA.
G. Some A m erican words are sim ply unknow n on th e o th er side of th e A tlantic, and
vice versa. But a lot of words exist in both v a ria n ts, and these can cause trouble.
B ritish visitors to A m erica are often su rp rised a t th e d ifferen t m eanings th a t
fam iliar words have acquired there. If an Englishm an asks in an A m erican store
for a vest, he will be offered a w aistcoat, if he w ants to buy a handbag fo r his
w ife, he should ask fo r a purse, and if she w ants to buy a p air of tig h ts, she
should ask for pantyhose: tig h ts in A m erica are w hat b allet dancers wear.

A G ifted Cook
If there is a gene for cuisine, Gabe, my 11-year-old son, could splice it to perfection.
Somewhere between Greenwich Village, where he was born, and the San Francisco Bay
area, where he has grow n up, the little kid w ith the stubborn disposition and freckles
on his nose has forsaken Boy Scouts and baseball in favor of w ielding a kitchen knife.
I suppose he is a mem ber of th e Em eril generation. Gabe has spent his form ative
years shopping a t the Berkeley Bowl, where over half a dozen varieties of Thanksgiving
yam s, in lesser m ortals, can in still em otional paralysis. He is blessed w ith a critical
eye. “I th in k Em eril is really cheesy,” he observed the o th er n ig h t while w atching a
p u ff p astry segm ent. “He makes th e stu p id est jokes. B ut he cooks really w ell.”
W ith its m anifold indigenous cu ltu res, Oaxaca seemed th e perfect place to push
boundaries. Like the mole sauces fo r which it is ju stly fam ous, the region itse lf is a
subtle blend of ingredients — from dusty Zapotec villages where Spanish is a second
language to the zocalo in colonial Oaxaca, a sophisticated town square brim m ing w ith
stre e t life and vendors selling tw isty, one-story-tall balloons.
A ppealing to Gabe’s in n er Iron Chef seemed like an in d irect way to introduce him
to a place where the a rtfu l approach to life presides. There was also a selfish motive:
Gabe is my soul m ate, a fellow food w anderer who is not above em bracing in san ity to
follow his appetite w herever it leads.
M onths ahead of tim e, we enrolled via th e In te rn e t in the daylong W ednesday
cooking class a t Seasons of My H eart, the chef and cookbook a u th o r Susana T rillin g ’s
cooking school in the E lta Valley, about a 45-m inute drive n o rth to town. In her
cookbook and PBS series of the same name, Ms. Trilling, an A m erican whose m aternal
g randparents were M exican, calls Oaxaca “the land of no w aste” where cooking
techniques in some ancient villages have endured fo r a thousand years.
I suspected th a t the very notion of w hat co n stitu tes food in Oaxaca would te st
Gabe’s m ettle. A t the suggestion of Jacob, his older b ro th er, we spent our second
n ig h t in Mexico a t a Oaxaca G uerrero baseball game, where instead of peanuts and
Cracker Jack, vendors hawked huge tra y s piled high w ith chapulines, fried grasshoppers
cooked in chili and lime, a local delicacy. Gabe was bug-eyed as he w atched the man
next to him snack on exoskeletal m unchies in a paper bowl. “I t ’s probably less gross
th an a hot dog,” he adm itted. “B ut on th e rim of th e bowl I saw a bunch of legs and
served body p arts. T h a t’s revolting!”

Our cooking day began a t the W ednesday m arket in Etla, shopping fo r ingredients
and sam pling as we w ent. On th e way in the van, Gabe had made friends w ith Cindy
and Fred Beams, fellow classm ates from Boston, sh arin g opinions about Caesar salad
and bem oaning his b ro th e r’s preference fo r plain pizza instead of H aw aiian. Cindy
told Gabe about a delicious sauce she’d ju s t had on h er omelet a t h er В & В. “It was
the best sauce — to die fo r,” she said. “Then I found ou t the provenance. Roasted
w orm s.”
The Oaxacan ta ste fo r insects, w e’d learn — including the worm salt spied a t the
superm arket and the “basket of fried locusts” at a nearby re sta u ra n t — was a source
of protein d ating back to pre-H ispanic tim es.
W hen our cooking class was over I saw a flicker of re g re t in his face, as though
he sensed th e w orld’s in fin ite v ariety and possibilities in all th e dishes he d id n ’t learn
to cook. “Mom”, he said plaintively, surveying th e sensual offerings of th e table. “Can
we make everything when we get home?”
Gabe’s m other th in k s th a t he is
1) lazy. 3) selfish.
2) determ ined. 4) th o u g h tfu l.

I can see th e hairdressers or sty lists as they p refer to be called, as they work.
There is a man w ith a ponytail who is peram bulating around the salon, stopping now

has had her w hite blonde h a ir shaved and th en allowed it explode into hundreds of
hedgehog’s quills; the o th er has h air any self-respecting woman would scalp for: thick
and lustrous. All th ree are dressed in severe black. Even u n d ertak ers allow them selves
to w ear a little w hite on the neck and cuffs, b u t u n d ertak ers don’t take th e ir work
half as seriously, and th ere lies the problem. I am afraid of hairdressers.

A. Mobile phones use ‘radio w aves’ to send signals. Since th e 1920s, scien tists have
known th a t radio waves can cause th e heating of the skin and influence th e nervous
system . B ut mobile phones don’t produce many radio waves. Still children should
be especially careful about mobile phone use because th e ir nervous system may be
h u rt. C hildren should only use mobiles fo r sh o rt calls.
B. It is known th a t the stre n g th of radio wave rad iatio n decreases w ith distance. It
suggests th a t hands-free sets may be effective in avoiding all the dangers of mobile
phones. B ut another study described an increase in rad iatio n th a t reached th e user
of a hands-free set. It says th a t the cable of the hands-free set acted as an antenna,
directing more radio waves into th e u s e r’s ear.
C. Train passengers will soon be able to buy tickets on th e ir mobile phone. C hiltern
Railways plans to sell tickets th ro u g h mobile phones. The new technology sends a
code to a mobile phone in a te x t m essage, which passengers can th en scan a t the
statio n tick et b a rrie r. I t ’s hoped th e m ethod will make buying tick ets easier for
passengers and help fig h t against queues at stations.
D. Many parents now use mobiles to control th e ir ch ild ren ’s behaviour. It gives parents
peace of m ind and makes young people feel protected. P a re n ts say th a t young people
are safer w ith mobiles th an w ithout them . B ut, while paren ts said they liked to call
th e ir children on the mobile to actually hear th e ir voice, young people liked to send
te x t messages to parents.
E. A research showed th a t those young people who have a mobile feel more independent
and often use it to plan m eetings both relatives and peers. In p a rtic u la r, young
people often use mobiles to ask th e ir paren ts if they can come home later. The study
showed th a t girls more often te x t p aren ts to let them know they were safe than
boys. They also use te x t m essaging fo r socializing purposes.
F. It is not only parents who w ant to connect w ith young people through mobile
technologies. Nowadays politicians and different organizations look for ways to use
te x t messaging as a channel for communication w ith the young. In late 2004, the UK
governm ent offered people the opportunity to ‘te x t Tony’. People were invited to send
a tex t question to the prime m inister to be answered as p a rt of a ‘mobile ch at’.
G. The popularity of te x t messages led to th e developm ent of a special system of words
or ‘chat speak’. For example, acronym s, th a t are words made from the firs t letters
of other words, are often used both in online chatroom s and te x t messages sent to
your mobile phone. This ‘chat speak’ is very popular w ith children who are fa s t at

So fa r th ere are only two ways to get into space — you eith er have to be an
astro n au t or very rich. C ountries such as R ussia and th e USA have space program s,
b u t you need to be highly qualified and very determ ined if you w ant to become an
astro n au t. Only a few of the thousands of applicants make it th ro u g h the tra in in g and
selection program . A lternatively, if you have the money and are fit enough, you may
be able to buy a place on the space journey, as the US m illionaire, Mike Melwill did
in 2004. B ut soon th ere may be another way.
A sif Mahsood is a 14-year old P ak istan i w ith big plans. He dream s of g ettin g a job
in space, b u t hopes he doesn’t need to become an a stro n au t. And th e idea is not so
fa n tastic. Many experts believe th a t the trav el in d u stry will be revolutionized during
the next decades by the developm ent of space holidays.
Most people know about the space statio n s th a t are already circling the E arth .
They are used for research and are operated by professional astro n au ts. B ut soon a
space statio n could be b u ilt for commercial purposes. A holiday in space would not be
cheap, b u t there are probably already plenty of people who would be prepared to pay.
This is where A sif’s dream comes in. He w ants to be th e m anager of th e w orld’s
f ir s t orbiting hotel. It is likely th a t rocket ships will provide the tra n sp o rt. They
could be launched from the E a rth ’s surface, or even from a c arrie r a irc ra ft high in
the atm osphere. The space hotel will be designed w ith a landing platform fo r the
rocket ship. The passengers could then move into th e hotel th ro u g h a large tube
connected to the hotel entrance. This would be necessary because th ere is no g ravity
in space. However, inside the space hotel th ere would need to be a system creating
a rtificial g ravity, so th a t guests could move around norm ally.
N aturally, if hotels are b u ilt in space, th ere will also be new jobs in space. G uests
will need all the norm al services found in a hotel on E arth , b u t th ere will also be
some new possibilities. For example, all so rts of recreation activities could be designed
to take advantage of th e zero g rav ity conditions in space. Being able to float around
a room, bounce off the walls and ceiling would be very a ttra ctiv e fo r to u rists looking
for a new experience. Games of three-dim ensional football, basketball or volleyball
would certainly be very in terestin g . The hotel would also have telescopes to look out
a t the universe, and to look back at the E a rth below.
A space hotel will need to have other facilities th a t are not necessary in norm al
hotels. It would be more like a small city in some ways, w ith its own hospital,
com m unication system , police force and fire departm ent.
In the m eantim e, A sif is going to keep studying hard a t school so th a t he can find
a job w orking in one of the big in tern atio n al hotels in Lahore or K arachi. He w ants
to qualify in hotel m anagem ent and continue to stu d y business ad m in istratio n . The
hotels are m uch the same, so A sif believes th a t th e best p reparation fo r a job in space
will be gaining plenty of experience w orking in E a rth hotels.
The whole idea of hotels in space may sound a little like science fiction, b u t
30 years ago technology such as mobile video phones and the In te rn e t seemed to be
ju s t a crazy dream , w hereas today they are a norm al p a rt of everyday life, and it is
hard to im agine our world w ithout them .

If you ask ше, I th in k fashion is kind of u n n a tu ra l. I mean who cares about tin y

W hen i t ’s hot, they shouldn’t be too w arm and when i t ’s cold they should keep you
w arm and protect you from winds when i t ’s necessary. I ’d never buy a coat or a jacket

feel com fortable in it.

I t ’s not th a t I ’m really a passionate follower of fashion — no, nobody would say
th a t about me. B ut I spend a lot of tim e in clothing shops and I do care about w hat
to p u t on each day and I never w ear th e same o u tfit two days a week. I look th ro u g h
fashion m agazines to find out the la te st tren d s. I do all those th in g s ju st because
I feel i t ’s a sign of respect fo r yourself and the people around you when you pay
atte n tio n to your clothes and looks.
Speaker E
I th in k when people talk about fashion they often mean stre e t fashion — w hat
people w ear every day. I don’t th in k i t ’s tru e fashion. I t ’s more like a kind of
hysteria — she has such a dress — I w ant such a dress too. Real fashion is top
fashion, runw ays and lim elight, fam ous designers like D&G and big brands. These
clothes are expensive and anyway you w on’t p u t them on when you go to work and
they are im practical — they are ju s t beautiful.
Speaker F
Fashion? I never w aste my tim e th in k in g about it. I have so much to do fo r my
studies th a t I sim ply p u t on w hatever I find in my w ardrobe — usually i t ’s a p air of
jeans and a T -shirt. I never go to clothes shops — my mom knows my size and she
buys me w hat she th inks I need. I tru s t h er ta ste and I believe she knows best really.
I ’m too practical and dow n-to-earth a person to th in k about m atching colors or s tu ff
like th a t so I ju s t don’t care about it.

Presenter: Good evening. T onight we’ve got th e fam ous film critic M ariela Sm ith
w ith us to talk about her favorite film s from th e last ten years. How do you do,
M ariela. W e’ve missed you.
M ariela Sm ith: Hello, everybody. I t ’s a pleasure being here again.
Presenter: Thank you. So, M ariela, w hat do you th in k is th e best film of th e last
ten years?
M ariela Sm ith: Some people find it a d ifficu lt question, you know. The choice is
enorm ous and it depends on our c u rre n t mood as well. W ell, th e re ’s absolutely no
com petition for me. I know a lot of people th in k it was ‘G ladiator’, b u t fo r me the
best film in the last ten years was ‘A m erican B eauty’ — it was so d ifferen t, w ith
unexpected tw ists of th e plot, very clever, and it had th e best acting, I th in k —
though some actors were newcomers to the cinem a world. It was th e m ost unusual
film in the last ten years.
Presenter: So, no vote for ‘G ladiator’ from you?
M ariela Sm ith: Oh, I th in k ‘G ladiator’ was really good. It was definitely the m ost
exciting film , b u t i t ’s ju s t not my favorite. It was ju s t norm al, ordinary. T here’s no
m ystery here behind the screen which is I th in k an essential fo r a tru ly good film .
Presenter: W ere th ere any surprises fo r you in the last ten years?
M ariela Sm ith: Surprises ... well, yes. I th in k th e biggest su rp rise was ‘The Sixth
Sense’ — it was a fa n ta stic film from an unknow n director. No one expected it.
I th in k i t ’s also the scariest film in the last ten years. W hen you w atch it and im agine
it happening — ju s t the very th o u g h t th a t it m ight be possible — it makes my h eart
jum p.
Presenter: W hat about foreign language film s? Any good ones there?
M ariela Sm ith: W ell, lots, of course, lots of film s are w orth m entioning b u t the
one th a t I believe was best was ‘All about my M other’, by Pedro A lmodovar. It was a
lovely film , very sad, b u t the m ost in te re stin g foreign language film of the ten years.
It has a peculiar m ix tu re of positive and negative feelings, joys and sorrow s — th e re ’s
everything in th is film . Everybody can find som ething in it which will touch upon
th e ir soul.
Presenter: Mmm, I liked th a t one too. You don’t like violent film s, do you?
M ariela Sm ith: No, I don’t like such film s in general, b u t th e re ’s one violent film
th a t I ’d like to talk about — ‘Pulp F iction’. T hat was very violent in my opinion,
possibly the m ost violent film of th e ten years, b u t it was so good — it was definitely
the best m ix tu re of action and comedy a t th e tim e. A nd Jo h n T ravolta was really
fan tastic as a villain — i t ’s not usually th e kind of p a rt he plays, b u t he played the
bad guy so well in th is one. Everybody knows how g ifted he is as an actor b u t th is
film revealed another aspect of his ta len t. This was a surprise.
Presenter: W ell, I th in k th a t’s all we have tim e for ...
M ariela Sm ith: No, w ait a m om ent. T here’s one more film I really w ant to m ention,
and th a t’s ‘Chicago’. I don’t usually like m usicals a t the cinem a, b u t it really was the
fresh est m usical fo r a long tim e — it was really good. B ut I believe it was so good
ju s t because of the cast. P u t oth er actors th ere — and you’d probably get a complete
flop.

I can’t im agine life if I d id n ’t get pocket money. Some people say an allowance can
tu rn kids into spoilt b rats, b u t luckily my p aren ts don’t share th is opinion. There are
a lot of good th ings one can do w ith pocket money, like sh arin g it in the form of

W h a t’s my favorite holiday? I know th is may sound stran g e, b u t I love E aster. My
f a m i l y isn ’t very religious, b u t I am aware of which E aster trad itio n s are connected
w ith th e Bible. For exam ple, th e re ’s th e tra d itio n of p ain tin g eggs and giving them
to o th er people as a symbol of etern al life, b u t few people actually do th is anym ore.
Instead, they buy chocolate eggs, and I adore chocolate — sweets are my tru e passion.
A nd th a t’s why I love Easter!
Speaker В
My friends say too often th a t I laugh too much and I agree. T h a t’s why I enjoy
A pril Fools Day so m uch. You may know it takes place every year on A pril 1st and
on th is day you never really know if someone is try in g to pull your leg. A nd i t ’s
im p o rtan t th a t even if someone tries to fool you, you don’t lose your tem per. O therw ise,
people may suspect you of the w orst possible sin — a bad sense of hum or. No one has
ever accused me of that!
Speaker C
As a g irl, I always enjoy celebrating W om en’s Day on M arch 8 th m ost of all. This
is the day fo r paying trib u te to all women — and, firs t of all, your m others and
grandm others. In some places th is day is called M other’s Day and it, too, is celebrated
in spring. Men give women flowers and presents and they do all th e domestic work
around the house and in the kitchen. For women, i t ’s a relaxing break from domestic
routines — a nice change and a chance to rest!
Speaker D
Some people love New Y ear’s Eve, b u t I adore C hristm as. The holiday is connected
w ith the b irth of Jesu s C hrist as told in the Holy Bible. W hen Jesu s was born, wise
men from the E ast came to w orship him and they gave th e child presents. T h a t’s why
people nowadays try to please th e ir friends and relatives by giving C hristm as presents.
I t ’s a very sincere holiday and I th in k everyone feels a b it kinder and more generous
on th a t day.
Speaker E
I th in k New Year is especially popular w ith children. In m any houses th e re ’s a fir
tree and other decorations. Fam ilies get to g eth er to welcome in th e new year — a tru ly
magical m om ent. You can s ta r t your life anew if you w ant to — make resolutions,
talk about plans and prom ises, or share your m ost secret th o u g h ts; if you do these
thin g s, probably your wishes will come tru e — a t least I like to th in k so. On th a t day
anything can happen — so give it a try!
Speaker F
In my country i t ’s not celebrated, b u t I ’ve always th o u g h t T hanksgiving is a great

A m erica were dying of hunger, b u t neighboring N ative A m ericans helped them survive.
On th is day everyone has the chance to say ‘th an k you’ fo r everything good th a t has

Presenter: Sounds wise. So, how much money do paren ts usually give to th e ir kids?
Lora Johns: The am ount of money th a t paren ts give to th e ir children d iffers from
fam ily to fam ily. Tim ing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly
allowance, others get a m onthly allowance; any reg u lar tim e period is OK. W h a t’s
im p o rtan t is th a t parents should make clear w hat, if anything, th e child is expected
to buy w ith the money.
Presenter: Is th a t so im portant?
Lora Johns: I t ’s crucial! A t firs t, young children often spend all of th e ir allowance
too quickly a fte r they receive it. If they do th is, they learn th e h ard way th a t they
need to have a personal budget. W hen I work w ith p aren ts, I always advise th a t they
not give th e ir kids any more money u n til the next allowance. The object is to show
young people th a t a budget dem ands choices between spending and saving. Older
children should be responsible enough to save money fo r larg er costs, like clothing or
electronics.
Presenter: I know m any people give th e ir children pocket money fo r doing chores
around the house. W hat do you think? Is th a t a good idea?
Lora Johns: Many experts who have w ritten on th e subject of allowances say i t ’s
not a good idea to pay your child fo r doing reg u lar household chores, like w ashing
the dinner dishes. These jobs are ju s t a norm al p a rt of fam ily life. Paying children to
do e x tra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an
u nderstanding of how a business works.
Presenter: So, pocket money is a positive th in g a fte r all?
Lora Johns: It can be. Allowances give children a chance to experience the th in g s
they can do w ith money. They can share it in the form of g ifts or donations to a good
cause. They can use it to buy th in g s they w ant. Or they can save and maybe even
invest it.
Presenter: In your opinion, which lesson is th e m ost im p o rtan t here?
Lora Johns: D efinitely saving. It helps children u n d erstan d th a t costly goals require
sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan fo r the fu tu re . R equiring children to save
p a rt of th e ir allowance can also open th e door to more saving and investing in the
fu tu re . Many banks offer specialized accounts to help children and teenagers learn
about personal finance. A t the same tim e, of course, th e banks are creatin g fu tu re
custom ers.
Presenter: Could you explain how exactly it works?
Lora Johns: A savings account is an excellent way to learn about th e power of
compound in te re st. In te re st rates on savings can be very low these days. B ut
com pounding works by paying in te re st on in te re st. So, fo r exam ple, one dollar invested
a t two percent in te re st will earn two cents in th e firs t year. The second year, the
money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. T hat may not
seem like a lot. B ut over tim e it adds up.
Presenter: Thank you, Lora.

My friends say volunteering isn ’t a good idea. The th o u g h t of doing som ething for
free doesn’t a ttra c t them a t all. B ut I th in k volunteering is absolutely necessary in
th e m odern world. If you help someone today, maybe somebody else will help you
when you need it. Or maybe th e y ’ll help your friends or relatives. K ind th in g s are
like a boom erang — they come back to th e people who do som ething positive w ithout
expecting anything in re tu rn .
Speaker В
V olunteering is hard in my opinion. You have to find tim e in your schedule to do
tasks th a t are often hard, eith er physically or psychologically. S till, m any teenagers,
including me, volunteer th e ir tim e, not only because doing som ething good invites
good karm a, b u t also because i t ’ll look good on your CV. If you have been a volunteer,
your chances to be accepted at a good college or u n iv ersity jum p rig h t up. By helping
others, you can help yourself.
Speaker C
For me, volunteering is a chance to m eet new people and make friends. I take p a rt
in in tern atio n al volunteering program s, like youth sum m er camps th a t focus on the
environm ent or teach younger kids. I have m any friends on Facebook, th an k s to my
volunteer activities, and now I know much more about th e world around me. I ’d really
like to be a volunteer a t the Olympic village in Sochi in 2014, b u t I hear foreigners
can’t do th a t. I t ’s such a pity!
Speaker D
I ’ve been w orking as a volunteer fo r several years already and I enjoy it immensely.
I feel socially useful and p a rt of the com m unity I belong to. It m ight take a lot of
my tim e and energy and be very dem anding, b u t th e satisfactio n I get in th e end is
w orth it all. V olunteering is so rew arding. A nd thanks to wise tim e m anagem ent,
somehow I always find tim e fo r everything — studies, leisure and helping others, so
it is really great.
Speaker E
I th in k everyone should try volunteering at some point in th e ir life. And i t ’s not
only about being useful to your com m unity. V olunteering teaches you about yourself
and th e world around you. You begin to appreciate w hat you have, b u t m ight have
been taking fo r granted, because you see so m any people who can ’t affo rd the sim plest
th ings th a t you use every day w ithout noticing it. W hen you u n d erstan d th e real

Presenter: So how should people behave d u rin g these fo u r m inutes?
Tom Burk: F irstly , when somebody is introducing us to new people, we should try
to be friendly and self-confident. In general, people like people who like them selves.
On the o th er hand, we shouldn’t make th e oth er person th in k we are too sure of

s ta rt a relationship, eith er because of th e ir lifestyle or th e ir character. For instance,
they may work long hours or th e y ’re shy. However, m eeting someone online can be
fine if at the end you w ant to m eet them face-to-face. Sorry to say, In te rn e t addicts
are a common problem — these people ju s t can ’t stop su rfin g the N et, and they never
actually m eet th e ir online friends in real life.
Presenter: A cting self-confident sounds like good advice — b u t is it really for
everyone?
Tom Burk: Some people m ight th in k i t ’s dishonest to give the appearance of
friendly self-confidence when we don’t actually feel th a t way. Perhaps, b u t many
psychologists believe th a t so-called ‘to tal h onesty’ isn ’t always good fo r social
relationships, especially d u ring the firs t fo u r m inutes of contact, and I share th e ir
point of view. Some play-acting may be good fo r th e firs t m inutes of contact w ith a
stran g er. For exam ple, a firs t m eeting probably is n ’t th e best tim e to complain about
your health or to find fau lts w ith other people. I t ’s b e tte r ju s t to ask questions, talk
about the w eather and cu ltu ral life, th in g s like th a t.
Presenter: So i t ’s not the tim e to tell th e whole tru th about your opinions.
Tom Burk: Exactly.
Presenter: Do you have any final recom m endations, Tom?
Tom Burk: I ’d like to add th a t much of w hat was said here can also be applied to
relationships w ith fam ily members and friends. A ccording to scien tists, husbands and
wives or parents and children often have problems d u rin g th e firs t fo u r m inutes
th e y ’re to g eth er a fte r being a p art fo r some tim e. Psychologists th in k th a t everyone
should tre a t the firs t fo u r m inutes to g eth er w ith the u tm ost care. If th ere are some
unpleasant issues, they should probably discuss them a b it later. A fte r th e y ’ve got
used to each other again, they can talk about it w ith g re a ter understanding.

Speaker A
I got in terested in hitch-hiking a fte r w atching th e fam ous film ‘Euro T o u r’. I t ’s a
hilarious comedy where a group of friends trav el around Europe looking fo r adventure.
I got inspired by the film and decided to try it w ith my friends. The film offers good
advice — like how to find really cheap plane tickets or a hostel to spend th e n ig h t in.
We followed the same route from the film while hitch-hiking and I m ust say we loved
every m inute of it!
Speaker В
H itch-hiking may look like a rom antic and exciting way of trav elin g fo r some
people, b u t I really don’t th in k it is. W hen I trav el, I like to do it in com fort. I
always plan my trav el thoroughly, reserving hotel rooms well in advance. Now i t ’s
even possible to buy tickets online to popular m useum s so I don’t have to waste
precious tim e queuing. W ith hitch-hiking, everything is very spontaneous and decided
on the spot. T h a t’s not for me.
Speaker C
I ’ve never trie d hitch-hiking m yself, b u t my friends hitch-hiked last year across
A u stralia and they say th ere are some ups and downs about th is kind of traveling.
The advantages are you’re free to go w herever you w ant, and you’re always in the
m om ent, seeing th ings th a t ordinary to u rists miss because th e y ’re always focused on
th e ir plan. As for possible cons, hitch-hiking can be dangerous. For instance, my
friends got m ugged at gunpoint.
Speaker D
H itch-hiking is the only kind of trav elin g I can afford. All my classm ates are
planning th e ir gap years th in k in g about all th e exciting places th e y ’ll go and the
fascinating sights th e y ’ll see. B ut me — I don’t have enough money to pay fo r a posh

gap year. Instead I spent my savings on a really expensive laptop th a t I ’ll need at
university. So hitch-hiking is th e only way I can affo rd to have a g reat tim e before
I settle into my studies a t college.
Speaker E
Many people th in k th a t hitch-hiking is ju s t a way fo r cheap kids to save some
money while trav elin g across th e country. J u s t p u t your thum b out and get a lift.
I disagree. Many drivers who tend to stop to pick up hitch-hikers are frien d ly and
talkative people bored m aking a long trip . They ju s t w ant to have a nice chat to pass
the tim e. The drivers help th e hitch-hikers, and the hitch-hikers help the drivers.
Everyone benefits th is way!
Speaker F
I ’m an experienced hitch-hiker and I enjoy th is way of trav ellin g immensely. I ’ve
gone to really a lot of d ifferen t g reat places hitch-hiking, and i t ’s saved me much
money. If you w ant to enjoy it, you need to observe a few simple rules. F irst, be
polite and talkative. Second, you m ust w rite your d estination on a big piece of paper
and hold it up while w aiting fo r a lift. Be friendly and p a tien t as well. This will
definitely help you on the road.

Jack — you do like rock music!
Jack: Okay, I take my words back, sorry. I suppose you already know, Tracy
Chapm an’s concert is going to be on TV n ex t S aturday. A re you going to w atch it?

Jack: You never know before you try . W hy not call and ask?
Irene: Okay, I ’ll do it firs t th in g tom orrow . Shall I tell you if th e re are still tickets
available?
Jack: Yes, please, I ’d love to go if the price is reasonable.
Irene: OK. B ut in the m eantim e, w hat are we going to do tonight?
Jack: Oh, I don’t w ant to bother going out. L et’s have a quiet n ig h t in and re n t

Задание 1
Speaker A
For any celebration you have so many people to give presents to: your m ates,
p arents, relatives. It creates a problem of choosing an original present. I th in k
everybody is so tired of tra d itio n a l gifts! To my m ind, the sim plest way out is
accessories. They are always d ifferen t and can su it everybody. For fam ily members it
may seem a good investm ent if i t ’s expensive enough and it may definitely help your
friends look g re a t at a party!
Speaker В
As fo r me, I dislike pragm atic, domestic g ifts. They may be useful, of course, b u t
when you get a present, you expect a su rp rise, not a new kind of w ashing powder.
I do not u n derstand people who are happy to get kitchen towels, cups, dishes or
an ything like th a t. If you do not have any innovative ideas, buy some perfum e or
flowers — they are not practical, they are pleasant.
Speaker C
H onestly speaking, I ’d be glad to get a weekend cam ping to u r even to a local place
of in te re st. It would be the best present and the w orst is perfum e. P erfum e is th e
u ltim ate in personal g ifts, even more th a n accessories. W h at scent a person chooses
is unique and usually very subjective. It also looks like a last-m inute decision which
may seem im polite, unless you are absolutely sure in your choice, which, as I said is
a ra re case.
Speaker D
G iving and receiving presents can be stressfu l. A picky person can dislike some
g ifts or even worse — give them to somebody else. Horrible! So I found a perfect way
out — a g ift certificate. For anyone who likes shopping it is ideal and you don’t
w aste tim e try in g to find som ething special. B ut th ere are disadvantages about a g ift
certificate too. A person may th in k th a t you ju s t d id n ’t w ant to be bothered and get
offended, so i t ’s not a universal present a fte r all.

If you can afford it, try not to give th in g s, b u t experiences as a present. It is not
necessarily som ething very expensive. Tickets to th e firs t n ig h t perform ance or to a
new exhibition in an a rt gallery, or anyw here else will do fine. It is even b e tte r if you
can go th ere together and share these experiences. Take a cam era w ith you and take
pictures! Such a present will leave long-standing memories which are dear them selves.
Speaker F
Living in a high-tech world, it would not be unusual to buy gadgets as a present.
If your frien d com m utes, it can be an iPod, if your frien d is very busy — an electronic
organizer will be an excellent idea. There are m illions of choices and they are not
expensive either. Such a present can show th e person exactly how m uch th o u g h t you
p u t into choosing the perfect g ift tak in g into account his or h er way of life and needs.

I try to care about our planet. Some people argue th a t i t ’s impossible fo r an
individual to affect m ajor changes, b u t I disagree as th e re ’re m any th in g s everyone
can do to help our planet. L et’s s ta r t w ith o ur homes. Encouraging your fam ily to
recycle regularly is a good th in g to s ta rt w ith. Every glass b ottle you recycle saves
enough energy to ru n a TV fo r an hour, while recycling an alum inum can saves enough
energy to ru n a TV fo r three hours! I t ’s not d ifficu lt to tu rn ou t th e lights when you
leave a room or use re-useable containers fo r your lunches.
Speaker В
My name is W alton and I ’m from the USA. I ’m personally concerned about our
environm ent pollution. I try to protect the environm ent, to preserve it and leave it
clean and undam aged for the next generations who are a t risk of not being able to
leave th e ir homes due to the high city pollution. Yet now, in my native city (Boston)
the smog has increased to such a th reaten in g level th a t my fam ily and I had to move,
because the a ir was harm ful to th e h ealth of my 4-year-old son.
Speaker C
In my country, England, there is hardly a p a rt of it th a t is w ithin its n a tu ra l
state. The typical English countryside, the hills and fields, have all been shaped by
generations of cultivation. In fact, tak in g th e planet as a whole th ere is hard ly a p a rt
of it th a t hum ans have not changed. I fear th a t by our pollution hum ans are changing
the places where they do not live and where they live. D eserts are becoming h o tter,
arctic ice is m elting and w herever you look you can see the ugly fo o tp rin t of hum anity.
Speaker D
Of course we should care more about our planet w ater supplies. W hen you use
w ater wisely, you help the environm ent. You save w ater fo r fish and anim als. You
help preserve d rinking w ater supplies as well. You save th e energy th a t your w ater
supplier uses to move w ater to you and th e energy your fam ily uses to heat your
w ater. W hen you use w ater wisely, you save money as your fam ily pays fo r the w ater
you use. So if kids s ta rt learning to use w ater wisely today, they will be helping
them selves in the fu tu re .
Speaker E
My name is Susan and I ’m 17 years old. I th in k the e arth is th e home we all live
in b u t m any people simply don’t care. I get depressed by all those w arnings th a t we
hear daily, acid rain, global w arm ing and on and on. It is likely th a t th ere will always
be some people who litte r in towns and in the country, despite fines and knowledge
of the environm ental consequences. You cannot influence the way oth er people care
for our planet and th a t makes me very sad.
Speaker F
I suggest we should use all resources in th e m ost efficien t way possible. A green
home will be a good solution here as it helps to conserve energy as well as w ater.
W aste and pollution will be decreased too. A green home protects th e environm ent by
using renewable solar energy. Solar panels on the roof of a home collect su n lig h t,
which is then converted into power to heat the home and ru n th e home equipm ent. So
a green home will save energy as well as money in addition to having o ther health
benefits.

Jon ath an Barnett: W ell, it sta rte d in 1996 because even back in those days there
were people m aking very low budget film s often using video equipm ent and there
w asn’t really anyw here for them to show th e ir film s so we th o u g h t it would be nice
to provide a platform for these film m akers. W e had the mad idea a t th e tim e of
showing every film th a t was subm itted and we also decided not to charge because
I suppose a t h e art we w eren’t rabid capitalists.
Callum: So the festival sta rte d as a way of giving unknow n film m akers somewhere
to show th e ir film s. As Jo n ath a n said, to give them a platform . Then I ’ve got a
question. How m any film s are being shown and how do you m anage to pay fo r it, for
ru n n in g the festival, I mean?
Jon ath an Barnett: This year we’re showing 700 film s. The money comes in from
funding m ostly, we get money from people and organizations like Film London and
the A rts Council and we also get d ifferen t kinds of support from sponsors. So we
don’t have to pay fo r advertising, we don’t have to pay fo r launch p arties, we don’t
have to pay fo r prizes.
Callum: Over th e firs t th ree weeks of A ugust 700 film s are being shown as p a rt
of th e Portobello Film Festival. W h at kind of film s can be seen? A re they ju s t short
stu d en t film s or does the festival a ttra c t big names as well? H ere’s th e fe stiv al’s

Jon ath an Barnett: The actual film s w e’re showing are a lot b e tte r th an anything
you’ll see on TV or on m ultiplexes and i t ’s everything from stu d en t film s and we also
get s tu ff from top film m akers like, fo r instance, Jo h n Malkovich. So I th in k because
we’re a festival th a t has a rep u tatio n fo r a certain am ount of in te g rity and also being
a little b it out on a limb we a ttra c t th e big names as well as people who are ju st
s ta rtin g out. The firs t year of th e festival we had Guy R itch ie’s f ir s t film which was
called th e “H ard Case”, which was fa n ta stic, i t ’s exactly th e same as Lock Stock and
Snatch b u t he was kind of form u latin g his ideas and it was a sh o rt film .
Callum: As fa r as I know, th e Portobello Film Festival ru n s u n til th e 21st of

I th in k people should pay more atte n tio n to reusing m aterials. I t ’s th e best way to
save our p lan et’s resources. In fact, we don’t have any oth er option if we plan to
leave the planet fo r generations to come. For example, i t ’s more environm ent-friendly
to use linen napkins th a t can be washed and reused th a n to use paper products. I t ’s
also im p o rtan t to stop using dangerous chemicals th a t spoil our soil and drin k in g
w ater.
Speaker В
My name is Stephen. I ’m very w orried about high urban pollution. This problem is
actually global. Anyone who w ent to Beijing to w atch th e Olympic games can confirm
it as Beijing was covered day and n ig h t by stro n g smog. The problem is th a t th is
smog in big in d u strial megapolises is not set to decrease, b u t instead it will increase
over the coming years: th is will brin g about pollution all over th e world and will
cause global warming!
Speaker C
I find the effect of w ater pollution on th e ecological balance and hum an life really
dram atic. Though there are many oth er th in g s th a t are polluting w ater, oil is still the
m ajor contributor. There may be cases of large oil spills d u rin g tra n sp o rta tio n , b u t
the fact is th a t sm all m otor oil spills on land are fa r more dangerous. So i t ’s im p o rtan t

I support the idea of using only n a tu ra l products fo r cleaning purposes. Of course

Presenter: W ith us in the Studio today we have Jam es Sm ith, a psychologist from
the U niversity of N orth Carolina. Good afternoon, Jam es.
Jam es Sm ith: Good afternoon. I am really glad to be tak in g p a rt in th is
program m e — it is a g re a t honour fo r me.
Presenter: Thank you. The topic we have fo r today is fam iliar to everybody — th is
is our dream s. We all have dream s and are dream ing of our dream s coming tru e if
I can p u t it th a t way! Jam es knows exactly how to do it. Is th a t so, Jam es?
Jam es Sm ith: I th in k it is. One of the am azing th in g s we have been given as
hum ans is the desire to have dream s and the ability to establish goals to live out
those dream s. W hat makes it even more pow erful is our ability not only to dream and
pursue those dream s b u t the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strateg ies
to achieve those dream s. The question is how to do it.
Presenter: Can you define w hat are o ur dream s and goals?
Jam es Sm ith: This is not w hat you already have or w hat you have done, b u t w hat
you w ant. Have you ever taken tim e to th in k over your life values and decide w hat
you really w ant? Have you ever tru ly reflected and listened quietly to your h e art to
see w hat dream s live w ithin you? Y our dream s are there. Everybody has them . They
may live rig h t on the surface or be hidden deeply if you are often told sarcastically
they are not serious b u t they are still there.
Presenter: So how do we know w hat our dream s are?
Jam es Sm ith: This is an in te re stin g process and it relates p rim arily to th e a rt of
listening. This is not listening to others; it is listening to you. If we listen to others,
we hear th e ir plans and dream s and m any of them will try to p u t th e ir dream s and
plans on us. If we listen to others, we can never be fulfilled. W e will only chase
elusive dream s. So we m ust listen to our own hearts.
Presenter: T hat seems easy and d ifficu lt a t th e same tim e. Do you know any
practical steps on hearing from our h earts on w hat our dream s are?
Jam es Sm ith: F irstly, take tim e to be quiet. This is som ething th a t we do not do
enough in th is busy world of ours. Schedule some dream tim e — no o th er people, no
cell phone or com puter. J u s t you, a pad and a pencil and your thoughts! Think about
w hat th rills you, w hat you would love to do e ith er for fu n or fo r a living. W hen you
answ er these questions, you will find yourself in the “dream zone” . Only when we get
to th is point, we will experience w hat o ur dream s are.
Presenter: W hat should we do next?
Jam es Sm ith: Secondly, w rite down all of your dream s as you have them . Do not
th in k of any as too outlandish or foolish — rem em ber, you are dream ing! Let the
th o u g h ts fly and take careful record. Then, p rio ritize those dream s. W hich are m ost
im portant? W hich are m ost feasible? W hich would you love to do th e m ost? P u t them
in the order in which you will actually try to a tta in them . Rem ember, we are always
moving tow ard action, not ju s t dream ing.
Presenter: W hat if a person does not find tim e to do all of this?
Jam es Sm ith: H ere is the big picture: life is too sh o rt and when it comes to the
end, you can reflect on it e ith er w ith joy or reg ret. Those who dream , who set goals
and act on them to live out th e ir dream s are those who live lives of joy and have a
sense of peace.
Presenter: W hat is your fin al piece of advice?
Jam es Sm ith: Rem ember about the dream s and goals th a t are born out of your
h e art and m ind. These are the goals th a t are unique to you and come from who you
were created to be and gifted to become. Your specific goals are w hat you w ant to
a tta in because they will make your life joyful!
Presenter: Thank you, Jam es.
Jam es Sm ith: My pleasure.

I ’m try in g to get back on track again w ith healthy food. I ’ve been really bad th is
couple of m onths, resu ltin g in a horrible w eight gain. I still go to th e gym 3-4 tim es
a week, b u t I eat a lot of unhealthy snacks between meals. I somehow th o u g h t i t ’s my
rew ard fo r going to the gym, b u t it certainly made me gain more w eight ra th e r th an
lose it. I figure if I can replace my dinner w ith fru its , I will achieve w eight loss
easily and in a healthy way. B ut th e problem is, a fte r th e gym when I feel really
h ungry th e f ir s t th in g I look for is som ething savoury.
Speaker В
My name is Jen n a and I ’m 17 years old. I ’d never had w eight issues u n til last
year. I had some problems th a t made me very depressed, so I ate all th e tim e and
w atched TV because I d id n ’t w ant to leave th e house. I know th a t’s not an excuse fo r
eating so unhealthily, b u t I was in my own little world, you could say. I ’m a very
athletic person and I still have all my muscle, b u t I ’ve ju s t gained w eight. I ’ve decided
to s ta r t my diet on W ednesday and work out Mondays, W ednesdays and Fridays w ith
one of my friends.
Speaker C
I am u tte rly fru stra te d a t th e mom ent. My w eight is not moving in the rig h t
direction. W hich is not su rp risin g since I ju s t can’t re sist food, especially unhealthy
food. Like yesterday, I w ent to the superm arket and bought straw berries and grapes
and apples only to go back 20 m inutes la te r to get a m arble cake. I only ate two slices
of it and it was all I had for dinner b u t still it makes me angry. Sometimes I feel it
has to be eith er all or nothing. I ju s t know th a t eating n othing is not th e rig h t th in g
to do and th a t it w on’t help in the long ru n .

I ’m doing really well. I th o u g h t th a t when I came home from school I would balloon
up, because my mom is an awesome cook and when I ’m home I work two jobs and I
am always too tired to exercise. Plus, a t school the gym is free and a t home it most
certainly is not. However, I ’ve m anaged to stay a t th e same w eight, and am a t my
lowest w eight on my mom’s scale! I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day so th a t my
parents don’t suspect anything, b u t I know th e y ’re im pressed w ith my w eight loss. I
am too!
Speaker E
My name is Bobbi. I ’m a sophomore in college and live in the dorm . This is the
firs t tim e I ’ve experienced living on my own. So I can go to any grocery shop and get
w hatever I w ant or go out to eat w henever I w ant. I stopped being active a fte r the
swim season was over in my senior year of high school. My w eight has steadily
increased since then because of my eating and exercise habits alone, I th in k . So I have
asked my doctor recently to work out a special com bination of diet and sport activities.
I hope it will help.
Speaker F
I wish I could ju s t kick the pounds away b u t alas, no way. I cannot starv e m yself,
and also, I don’t w ant to. S till, I w ant to lose w eight, as fa st as possible, of course.
I th o u g h t I ’d try to eat healthy food and exercise a lot b u t i t ’s ju s t so hard to come
home and not plunder the fridge. I t's so d ifficu lt to change one's lifestyle. I need

A gain, I ’m not sure how th is works in any other p a rt of the world. A t my u niversity
we have a student-elected body of representatives called “The U nion” . It is a quasi-
political body, elected from the stu d en t body and m eant to represent the stu d en t body
as a whole. However, I have doubts about th e ir ability to rep resen t me, and any other
m ature stu d en t a t th a t university.
Let me begin by saying th a t th is y e ar’s P resident likes to be called “G ravy” . The
behavior of th e Union on the whole reflects th is level of m atu rity . This year I ran for

th e office, I prom ised someone th a t I would ru n . A random m eeting w ith next y e ar’s
P resident and a ra n t about how ineffectual I th o u g h t the Union was bro u g h t th is
about, and I m ust say, my m ates gave me a lot of support. However, I did not make
the e ffo rt to canvass, I did not w ant the position.
Yes, if more m ature and experienced people do not join, w hat hope is th ere of this
body being more representative? I should feel worse th an I do about my lax effo rts,
b u t there is no way in the world I could sit in an office w ith these people w ithout
ra n tin g and raving a t them . How can a body of 19 and 20 year olds rep resen t a
stu d en t body th a t ranges from 18 to 80? In the UK, more and more m ature stu d en ts
are re tu rn in g to study every year. If th e body th a t is m eant to represent them
discusses issues like the ethics of every single product in the Union shop, or w hether
not allowing Al-Qaeda to operate from th e u n iv ersity is discrim ination or not ... they
are sim ply not represented. How can I present problems specific to a m ature stu d en t
to someone w ith little or no life experience them selves?
This became evident in a sh o rt tim e and I did not actually take any notice of the
elections because these were not elections based on any kind of m erit, b u t on how
popular someone is, or how much atte n tio n they can draw to them selves d u rin g the
elections by dressing up. W hen I see tax p ay ers’ money w asted on these th in g s (and
yes, it is th a t money th a t is used) it makes me see red. The Union has a very im p o rtan t
job to do, and u n fo rtu n ately it does not do it very well a t all. The Union would
perform b e tte r as a non-elected body w here people w ith experiences of th e issues and
m ethods do the work, ra th e r th a n young and inexperienced people who w ant nothing
more th an a jolly good tim e w ith th e ir m ates, and som ething to p u t on th e ir CV.
I have overheard some people talk in g about th is on occasions. They th in k th a t
th ere is som ething w rong w ith the situ atio n . In my opinion, th e re ’s definitely
som ething w rong w ith it.
I never th o u g h t th a t th is was w hat u n iv ersity would be about. I am th ere fo r a
reason, to learn. I sold my house to finance th is degree, it is a p re tty m ajor com m itm ent
for me, so of course I am going to take it seriously.

I t ’s very im p o rtan t to u n derstan d people around you. If you are a m anager, you’d
b e tte r take tim e and listen to your colleagues, employees, face to face, if possible. Pay
a tte n tio n to non-verbal ways of com m unication, as appropriate gestures and eye
contact can do more th an even words of praise or criticism . The same piece of advice

special m eanings; my original name for instance can be tran slated as ‘dew drop’ from
my native language.
Presenter: T hat is a b eautiful name indeed! W hy would one change it?
Helen: You see I had to when I w ent to school. It was not easy fo r my teachers
and classm ates to pronounce it as our system — I mean th e Navaho system — of
vowel sounds is so much d ifferen t fo r people around, which makes it problem atic both

th a t they will be m ost effective as learning tools if you can already u n d erstan d the

I ’ve lived in D enm ark now for nearly fo u r years, and I ’ve changed a lot w ithin
th is tim e. I ’ve become more fashionable, more cosm opolitan-m inded, more ...Danish —
if I ’m allowed to say th a t.
B ut one th in g h asn ’t changed about me. And th a t is my inability to cooperate w ith
or understan d Danish superm arket cu ltu re. As someone who was raised predom inantly
in the U nited S tates, I ’ve always been used to grocery stores w ith a selection of food
choices so huge th a t i t ’s alm ost perverted. T hat and a high level of service. In an
A m erican grocery store, one can find a kind of product w ith a thousand d ifferen t
brandings and types. For example, le t’s take th e flakes varieties: whole g rain frosted
flakes, or fat-free frosted flakes. Do I w ant my cream cheese w ith low, m edium , or
full fa t? Seedless w aterm elons or w aterm elons w ith seeds? T hat being said, when
I walk into a D anish grocery store I w ant to b u rst into tears because I ’m so bored
w ith the selection. The variety of cereals consists of C herrios, H oney-nut Cherrios,
and W heaties. Coco-puffs if I ’m lucky. T here’re few fru its and vegetables, m ost

kitchen labour th a t you ju s t wish some A m erican food companies could establish
factories here and im port some ready made dinners.
I know I should be asham ed of saying th is, b u t I do miss A m erican convenience.
In D enm ark, m aking a homemade meal requires at least 30 dollars spent a t th e grocery

allowed to be under 4 dollars. T h a t’s rig h t, i t ’s called organic and healthy food, free
of anything synthetic or “fa s t”-related. B ut I do miss synthetic food.
Oh yes, th e whole D anish, “do-it-yourself” a ttitu d e prevails! Expect to stress while
bagging all of your food, as no one will do it fo r you.
The only way to really u n derstan d w hat I mean is to im agine th a t if you’ve come
from A m erica and you’re used to certain th in g s w ith service and product selection
and then you move here — it tru ly is d ifferen t in D enm ark. A nd I ’ve lived elsewhere
in Europe (Iceland, England, Spain) and I still fin d th e grocery stores much b e tte r
and w ith more selection in those countries.
However, how could anyone take me serious when I say, “I miss synthetic food”?
T hat is purely attem p tin g to be sarcastic, and I see th a t it is w rong and disgusting
th a t A m erican food is pumped up w ith so much crap. I really appreciate th a t in
D enm ark the food is free of everything a rtificial and it shows on Danes — m ost of
them look healthy and f it here. B ut once in a while I miss the vastness of an A m erican
grocery store!
I w ant to add th a t I am D anish, was born in D enm ark, lived here fo r 5 years as a
child and then moved to A m erica where I lived m ost of my life. I moved back here a
few years ago and I love the country. I speak D anish. I ’m not an im m igrant in
D enm ark who is unsatisfied w ith th e way of life here and who should move back to
the States. I ’m a stu d en t and of course it takes 2 hours to make a meal on my own.

Задание 1
Speaker A
Hi! W h a t’s your favourite book? A book th a t you love because it inspires you, or
has changed your life? W hat I ’d like to do is go to a secondhand book store, pick up
a book th a t maybe I have read or maybe I haven’t, purchase it, read it, th en leave it
someplace else for someone else to find and read and pass on. I know a lot of tim es
things like th a t don’t work — people don’t read them or pass them on. B ut oddly,
I can’t explain why, I have th e urge to do it. Maybe th is happens because I love books
and w ant everyone to try them .
Speaker В
I enjoy one book very much. I have read it a t least 20 tim es and it is always
w onderful. Every tim e I read the novel as if I have no idea of w hat happens on its
pages and I am never bored w ith it. It is tru ly a success sto ry about a woman who
m anaged to do well despite her poor environm ent. Sometimes th e a u th o r becomes a b it
wordy b u t it is a stu n n in g m emoir. I adore reading memoirs such as these about
strong people who endure and do well despite th e ir circum stances. They teach us to
be strong and to resist any problems.
Speaker C
I ’ve been reading “Bleak H ouse” fo r some tim e now, over a m onth I ’d estim ate,
and probably closer to 6 weeks. I ’m h alf way th ro u g h , and I find it d ifficu lt to enjoy.
D ickens’s convoluted way of g ettin g to th e point seems little m ollified by th e beautiful
language, and although the dialogue is thoroughly enjoyable, I can ’t help b u t w ant to
explore other books. This is my firs t tim e reading Dickens b u t I rem em ber feeling th is
way to a much lesser ex ten t w ith some oth er books which d id n ’t have th e lure of
language to keep me interested.

A t a message board I go to th e y ’ve been polling to see w hat books everyone has
read. The particip an ts are m ostly 18 to 22 year old guys who play video games and
like reading, so the whole th in g is slanted tow ards high-school curriculum s tu ff and
sci-fi/fan tasy . N ot exactly scientific or rep resen tativ e of your average A m erican, bu t
still somewhat in terestin g . I wonder to w hat ex ten t books can keep young people
in terested in other p a rts of th e world and if th e ir preferences vary to a g re a ter degree.
Speaker E
I ’m going to make a trip to th e used bookstore to get rid of some books I have and
probably pick some books up a t th e same tim e. The problem is, I ’m aw ful a t try in g
to figure out w hat books to get rid of. I have m any books th a t I ’ve read and probably
w on’t reread b u t I have a hard tim e g e ttin g rid of them because th e m ajority of them
are hardback and they cost a lot. The w orst ones are books th a t I haven’t finished bu t
prom ised to get back to and I th in k I never will. I ’m good a t convincing m yself to
keep books at home.
Speaker F
This m ight seem a little w eird and h ard fo r me to explain, b u t bear w ith me. I was
checking out movies and books w ith philosophical concepts, and I came across a list
w ith ex isten tialist concepts. I realized th a t I ’ve seen or read, and enjoyed, m ost of the
s tu ff on the list. I ’ve already read “Crime and P u n ish m en t” by Dostoevsky and find
it a deep philosophical book th a t really makes you th in k when you read it. W h at I ’m
looking fo r now are books th a t can explain in a simple way w hat th e basics of
existentialism are.

and anim als are doing, when you can look fo r m eteor showers, th a t so rt of th in g ; i t ’s
quite detailed.
This calendar concept is th e one th a t is dear to me. I t ’s p a rt of w hat I was
try in g to accomplish when I was w orking on my own calendar project called “The
Book of Days”, which was supposed to give a sense of the passage of tim e so th a t
each p a rt of the year is m eaningful. It would describe th e p a tte rn s common among all
cultures such as the psychological need fo r relief from the d ark est p a rt of w inter, and
m ost cultures say th a t the veil between our world and th e oth er world is th in n e r at
a certain tim e of the year, even though they don’t all agree on when th a t is. It would
tell about th e cycles in n a tu re such as seasons, and any lig h t-h earted contem porary
events such as R abbit Hole Day. It d id n ’t ju st list events, it drew connections between
them so th a t you can get a feel fo r th e significance of th e c u rre n t tim e.
However, “The Book of Days” was a very tim e-consum ing th in g to try and work
on every day. I ’d hoped th a t it would become a v o lu n tary group project and th u s
would lessen the load of each co n trib u tin g individual, b u t other people seemed to lack
in terest. I m anaged it for several m onths, b u t it was too much fo r one person to
manage alone. Eventually I had to let them go off it fo r more im p o rtan t projects.
I still w ant to see som ething like “The Book of Days” . T h a t’s why I ’m so glad to see
th a t someone else has executed a sim ilar project, “The Ecological C alendar”.
I also like the idea of redefining the scope of tim e th a t we hum ans perceive th a t
I have found in “The Clock of The Long Now” , a book I ’m in the middle of reading
and which has already made a huge im pression on me. T hat book argues th a t we need
to expand our concept of tim e which looks not only at th e present, back into th e past
and into the fu tu re a t least a cen tu ry each, b u t which also encourages us to learn
from the past as well as consider o u r im pact on fu tu re generations.
So fo r 2007, I ’ll be completely redefining my perception of tim e to make it more
m eaningful, although th a t’s som ething I ’ve been w orking on fo r a while now, since
calendars fascinate me.

I ’m afraid they w on’t be able to deal w ith all th e ir problems. If an y th in g happens to

w hat I tried my best to do.
Sabrina: So you m ust have learned so much. It probably changed your a ttitu d e to

Fred: You should.
Sabrina: W ell, Fred. I ’m ju s t curious. W h at is it like being a fath er?
Fred: A h, rig h t. I th in k I should firs t talk about w hat it was like not being a

sit in fro n t of TV, or I ’d probably go to a pub — I loved spending tim e w ith my
friends in the w arm and friendly atm osphere of a pub. Anyway, I took tim e for
granted. I had so much of it. Once I became a fa th e r, suddenly my tim e disappeared
b u t strangely enough, it ta u g h t me to appreciate the tim e I have. My tim e is very
lim ited now. I am a lot busier a t work and I have more responsibilities th a n ever
before. I also have to help my wife at home and make some tim e fo r ch arity activities.
I actually make much more use of my tim e now th an ever before. A nd I still go to
the sports centre and play pain t ball w ith my friends.
Sabrina: Yeah, so when you firs t have a kid do you lose a lot of sleep?
Fred: W ell, som ething th a t carried over from my previous lifestyle was an ability
to sleep very well w hatever th e circum stances and, um, fo rtu n ately I have a very

doesn’t wake me up. I have to work hard d u rin g th e day and need some rest, a t least
a t n ight. I am never home before 8 in the evening. Anyway, I ’m such a good sleeper
th a t even if he cried for hours, it w ouldn’t wake me up. I don’t th in k th ere are many

Time is th e m ost valuable th in g you have. W h a t’s in te re stin g — it can’t be

In your daily life th ere are so m any dem ands on your tim e from oth er people th a t
very little of your tim e can be used as you choose. P rep arin g fo r a te st, m eeting a

I have read in a book on tim e m anagem ent th a t h ard tim e always pushes ou t soft

Peter: W hat is the m ain them e of Indian film s?
Kelly: W ell, India cannot be considered a rich country b u t movies show an image

Speaker A
I love reading. I read detective and spy stories, novels, and rom antic and fan tasy
stories. If I ’m stuck on a tra in or w aiting fo r som ething and don’t have an y th in g to
read, I feel terrible. So som ething th a t I spend a lot of money on would probably be
books. I always buy a lot of books, m agazines and re a d er’s digests. A nd I keep all of
them at home — my mum says i t ’s horrible. Also lots of my money goes on audio
books. I always share them w ith friends. Em... i t ’s kind of an exchange.
Speaker В
Oh, you know, shiny th ings really a ttra c t me. Every tim e I have some e x tra money,
I buy bracelets, rings, earrings or necklaces. I w ear them everywhere and every day.
If I ’m shopping somewhere and th ere is som ething flashy shining a t me, I usually
stop and look and very often a salesperson can talk me into buying it. I t ’s crazy
I know. I also love buying books b u t I don’t spend so m uch on them .
Speaker C
A h, I spend money m ostly on um... going out, like going to re sta u ra n ts or clubs,
and th ings like th a t. I am a p a rty person, I love hanging out w ith friends. I don’t
actually buy a lot of thin g s, like electronics, books or CDs. I ju s t spend money on
going out w ith my friends, on food and drin k s fo r p arties. I really love chattin g ,
dancing and m aking jokes.
Speaker D
Som ething I probably spend too much on is clothes. I guess because I am a g irl,
I th in k of shopping as a fu n pastim e and I find it relaxing. A ctually I call it ‘shopping
th e ra p y ’ to go and buy some new clothes. I often go alone — I don’t need anyone to
advise me. I ’d say I love the process of choosing and buying th in g s. It really makes
me feel good.
Speaker E
If I had the money I w anted, I would like to go and spend two weeks a t every
fam ous place on E arth . I love trav elin g in com fort. Nowadays i t ’s very expensive.
I read trav el m agazines and s u rf th e In te rn e t fo r inform ation about d ifferen t to u rs,
hotels and sights — and now I know how I w ant to trav el. T h a t’s w hat I ’d spend my
money on if I could.
Speaker F
I usually don’t spend th a t m uch money on an y th in g like jew ellery or clothes. B ut
then if th ere is one big expense, it is food. I like desserts, especially ice cream , so
when I go out fo r dinner I definitely have a dessert afterw ard s. I can ’t live w ithout
cakes, candies, chocolates and th in g s like th a t. W ho can?

m any anim als were, kind of, forced away. They had to leave th e ir native h ab itats and
find new h u n tin g areas... T h a t’s not really a nice thing.
Int: And w h a t’s happening to th e people who actually live around the fo rest area?
Ben: You know when you tend to in te rfe re in a wild anim al’s h a b itat you somehow
create an im balance between people and anim als. A nd som etim es i t ’s not really a nice
th in g because anim als tend to come close to where people live, which is really
th reaten in g .
Int: So, do they a ttack people?
Ben: Not th a t they really a ttack settlem ents b u t they do come in packs, groups,
prides or herds constantly m ig ratin g from one place to another because of deforestation.
So people are vulnerable a t any tim e.
Int: You m ean, if I lived th ere, I could be chased by an angry rhinoceros or an
elephant?
Ben: No, actually they don’t chase people because m ost of th e tim e they ju s t pass
by. B ut a t tim es you come into contact w ith an unusual anim al. You know anim als
live in packs, so when one anim al is rejected from its pack, i t ’s an angry anim al. It
cannot join the other packs so it attack s an y th in g and is extrem ely dangerous. It
should not be disturbed. People can do nothing to help it. Anyone who dares to
approach it is alm ost certainly doomed.
Int: Wow! Sounds horrible! I suppose no one would dare to try to catch these wild
anim als... W ell, b u t w hat actually causes deforestation?
Ben: People b urn wood to produce charcoal and sell it, because, as you know,
people there have very poor living conditions, and they try h ard to earn an e x tra
dime to support th e ir fam ilies. Charcoal is in g reat dem and fo r cooking and other odd
jobs, so people don’t even have to trav el anyw here to sell it. I t ’s a good job. B ut i t ’s
so destructive.
Int: So w h a t’s being done to try and rem edy th is, or to try and counterbalance the
effect?
Ben: There are th ree or fo u r large activ ist groups th a t are coming to g eth er to
discuss how to reduce damage to the environm ent. You all know the Nobel Prize
w inner W angari M aathai who is a leader of th e Green Belt M ovem ent in Kenya. She’s
been try in g to discourage people from destroying forests fo r a long tim e and to explain
w hat deforestation does to the country and the environm ent in general and how it
affects people in the fo rest areas. She teaches people to ad ju st to new conditions and
environm ents. She moves w ith th e tim es. W angari supports N ational parks,
conservation areas and safari parks in the country. She helps organize sm all businesses
to learn to earn from ecotourism in th e fo rest areas.
Int: Look, I ’ve always w anted to go to A frica and I ’m ju s t w ondering, if th a t whole
safari business ...is really good; if everything you see on the BBC W ildlife channel,
you know, docum entaries, is tru e to life.
Ben: I t ’s not a cliche, b u t i t ’s som ething you have to experience when you get
th ere on safari. The BBC has never lied to th e ir view ers.
Int: Wow! So I could be ju s t out th ere ... d riving around in my car and on my own
ju s t seeing all those anim als?
Ben: I am afraid they won’t let you drive in your own car. They provide services
for you. We have in Kenya an in s titu te called th e KWS: th e K enya W ildlife Service
and it has its own w ardens th a t are highly train ed to p rotect you when you’re in the
forest. You ju s t say where and when you w ant to go, w hat places and anim als you
would like to see. Tours are kind of regulated. For example, you will never be allowed
to come close to feeding the anim als.
Int: All rig h t.

My cat is ra th e r special. She u n d erstan d s perfectly well when I ask her to come
and sit w ith me, b u t she can p retend th a t she doesn’t hear. And she always knows
which of the people th a t I inv ite to my home are okay and which ones a re n ’t. A nd
when I have a headache in the evening she comes and sleeps over my head. I sometimes
ask m yself how she knows th a t I have a headache.
Speaker В
W hen I was 4 years old, my mum found a k itte n in th e stre e t and b ro u g h t it
home. So, the k itte n and I grew up together! I rem em ber th a t every n ig h t th e cat
would scratch a t my door and I let h er in. She w aited fo r me to come home from
school to be w ith her and liked w atching me, as I was doing my homework. She lived
8 years. A nd she was tru ly my cat. I really miss h er much.
Speaker С
The th in g I love about cats is the way they look. T heir eyes are big and th e colour
is deep — blue like the sky, green like leaves or brow n like am ber. T heir fu r can be
long or sh o rt, and if you tre a t your cat well, its fu r will look shiny and rich. I h av en ’t
seen a com bination of colours th a t looked bad on cats — black and w hite, gray and
w hite, orange and w hite — they all look perfect.
Speaker D
The best th in g about cats is th a t th e y ’re w onderful to talk to when you’re sad or
angry and you can’t control your em otions. Cats w on’t talk back while you are talk in g
to them , and will listen in ten tly . They make me laugh when I ’m in a bad mood, they
com fort me when I ’m sick. And when I ’m happy they s ta r t playing w ith me and we
all have lots of fun.
Speaker E
A lthough I have had m any cats, fo r everyone of them th ere is a reason why we
found each other. Now I have th ree cats. One of them is th e boss of my o th er cats.
The second one is very sm art and likes to open doors. A nd th e th ird one th in k s th a t
the w orld tu rn s around her and she is very proud of herself. All of my cats are very
special to me because each of them has h er or his own ch aracter. They are a g reat
p a rt of my life!
Speaker F
W hat I like about cats is th a t they can take care of them selves. You don’t have to
take a cat out for a walk several tim es a day. You don’t need to wash them too often,
because they clean them selves. Cats can play on th e ir own and don’t require too much
of your atte n tio n . They can spend m ost of th e tim e sleeping. A nd they even can get
th e ir own food by catching mice and spiders.

trees would also catch fire. If I ’m not m istaken it was two or th ree years ago. We
lost our electrical power as well.
Ellen: Luckily, it was in the middle of the day. H aving no electricity at n ig h t is a

adventures and I was delighted b u t it had always been my dream to go to the fa r off
countries I had read about in the ‘N ational G eographic’ m agazines. There were piles
of them in dad’s study as well as an unlim ited supply of books about explorations and
adventures.
Interviewer: W h at do you usually feel before you set out on a journey?
Cynthia: I rem em ber when I was little the n ig h t before we’d leave fo r a trip I had
an absolutely unforgettable feeling — th a t ‘can ’t-sleep, b u tte rfly feeling’. I couldn’t
w ait to go. I t ’s still w ith me today.
Interview er: A nd how did you get sta rte d w riting?
Cynthia: I have always been w ritin g . I even won a D aughters of the
A m erican R evolution poetry contest in th e fifth grade, and they gave me a fifty dollar
saving bond. It was a childish little poem th a t began: ‘Our nation, it was founded by
brave people long ago ...’ Then I moved to Columbia and fell in w ith a group of
w riters... A ctually a fte r school, all my jobs eventually were about producing new sletters,
correcting ads, rew ritin g bad brochures. I ’ve always kept journals, w ritten letters,
played around w ith personal essays. I never stopped w riting. I can’t do w ith o u t it.
I t ’s in my blood.
Interview er: You spend m ost of your life trav ellin g . W h at do you do when you
don’t travel?
Cynthia: If I don’t trav el, I w rite. B ut I d on’t stop trav ellin g , to be honest. I trav el
everywhere a t any tim e and in any possible way: by car, by plane, by horse or camel,
by canoe or sim ply on foot.
Interview er: Is it the m ajor challenge fo r you as a trav el w riter?
Cynthia: W ell, you see, trav ellin g is a g reat pleasure and a th rill fo r me although
some of my friends find it tirin g to be constantly away from home for a long tim e.
I like m eeting new people, hearing th e ir stories, ta stin g th e ir food. B ut w riters need
tim e alone to reflect on w hat they have seen, w hat they have heard. And th a t’s where
the problem lies. In a true-to-life story, a lot depends on w hether you can balance
your own solitary exploration and o th er people’ stories. W hen you’re w ith others,
y ou’re distracted. B ut when you’re by yourself, you have only your own im pressions
and observations and they can be m isleading.
Interview er: W hat was the m ost th rillin g experience you had as a traveller?
Cynthia: It was an incredible expedition to g eth er w ith two adventurous trav ellers.
W e w ent to the ra in fo rest in New G uinea, the m ost rem ote fo rest on E a rth . We
trekked across the island and lived w ith th e local tribe. They are h u n ters, they live
in to tal isolation from the re st of th e world. Their only tools are stone axes and
arrow s. To survive in the jungle w ith them was a hard-core challenge. W e had to
learn how to eat insects as we sim ply couldn’t h u n t even small wild anim als the way
they do. B ut in fact the biggest challenge was to establish contacts w ith th e local
tribe. You see, when we arrived, they m et us w ith arrow s, which they pointed at our
heads very aggressively. It w asn’t th e kind of g reetin g we were used to. W e d id n ’t
know a word in th e ir language to speak to them , to ask them w hat all these ritu als
m eant. We had to learn all th is s tu ff to survive, to w atch our gestures and tone of
voice or we would die in the jungle.
Interview er: W h at advice would you give to someone who is considering going into
travel w riting?
Cynthia: I t ’s g re a t work... b u t i t ’s work. I t ’s also an obligation. You are in charge
of w hat you w rite. Maybe your reader will never go to a place you’re w ritin g about
b u t he has always dream t about it. Don’t sell yourself or your observations sh o rt. And
never ever tra d e your stories fo r TV clips. W ritin g is not about b arg ain in g or g ettin g
p ro fits. Telling stories about trav el is an honorable profession. M ark Twain was a
trav el w riter. So was Hemingway.
Interview er: W hat is th e biggest rew ard of life as a trav el w riter?
Cynthia: I som etim es go to lu x u ry reso rts to w rite stories about the area. Of course
I ’m kidding (laughs). You see, I ’ve w atched th e sunrise on th e Pacific coast and seen
the G rand Canyon under a full moon. I saw fascin atin g sig h ts in these places, the
views. B ut m ost valuable is th e incredible generosity and th e sp irit of th e people I ’ve
m et on my routes. I t ’s the biggest blessing to have a glimpse into th e ir lives. This is
w hat makes me stay in my business.

For centuries people have struggled to come up w ith a good definition of a rt.
Before the 17th century, the word a rt was often used to describe any skill th a t
produced som ething. A t the tim e, both p ain tin g and farm ing were th o u g h t of as
a rts. Today, people th in k of the a rts more as form s of expression. A rtists use skill
and im agination to create a product. This creation often draw s a response from
others. These can include adm iration of a b eau tifu l sculpture, feelings of sadness
from a moving poem or pleasure from a fu n n y play.
Individual a rts are often grouped into categories. T heatre, dance and music are
common examples of perform ing a rts. P oetry, sh o rt stories and novels are are
th o u g h t of as lite ra tu re . A rt form s th a t resu lt in ‘u sefu l’ products are sometimes
called decorative a rts. F u rn itu re design, m etalw orking, basketry and p o ttery are a
few examples of decorative arts._________________________________________________
