Darius Alexander reviews this week's films on TV A B C D E F See you in Sicily This is about a journey across Europe in the 1960s. A group of young people travel across Europe in an old van, but nothing really exciting happens to them and it isn't actually very funny. It's a weak comedy film with singing. I had never heard of the actors before, although some of them could certainly sing. The moon and stars This follows the usual love story - boy meets girl, they fall in love and sing some songs about it. It's an enjoyable film, although there's nothing special about the singing, and it has its amusing parts. It comes to the TV screen very quickly, as it was only made a year ago. Mad for music This film came out last month, and all the young people are queuing to see it. There will be a whole generation of fans watching it because the music of this group, Sure Fire, is everyone's favourite at the moment. Shooting for freedom Photographer Valerie Maine planned to work in a dangerous part of the world for six weeks. This adventure film tells how she escaped from the people who held her prisoner for over a year. It is difficult to believe that this actually happened to someone who is still alive. Escape to Jupiter This film about adventures in space isn't supposed to be funny, but I'm afraid I wanted to laugh sometimes. Although this is one of several very similar films made recently, it's one of the better ones, as it certainly holds your attention. Another Part of Town This film manages to show some serious problems of a family in modern Britain without depressing the audience. If you haven't read Michael Stone's book of the same name yet, you'll be pleased to watch this excellent film. And you'll still enjoy the film if you have already read it. There is some excellent acting from some completely unknown actors. Kaufmännische Berufsfachschulen Bern-Biel-Langenthal-Thun Seite 3 von 11
Reading Task 2 Read the text and questions below. For each question, circle the letter next to the correct answer - A, B, C or D. 7 pts The Artist People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one's living. And of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone, even in a cold studio like mine. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning. I like to paint as soon as I wake up, which is always early, but isn't the same time every day. And nobody tells me what to wear, or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match. I very much enjoy managing my own time, even though I need to keep some business hours as I often work together with clients. You can t expect to be able to call people at 10pm just because you feel like working then! However, I have no one to chat with when I'm bored, no one to discuss last night's match with during the office lunch hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like cycling or gardening if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home; it doesn t get done by somebody else! It takes self-discipline and motivation to stick to your schedule and get things done on your own. Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I'm bored or not, and once I've answered the doorbell, it's too late - my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling in if I worked in an office, but I find myself listening to friends' troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done. Just because I m in my flat doesn t mean I m not working! This is apparently difficult for friends to understand. However, I cannot just lock the door, as clients might want to see me. However, when I hear the traffic news on the radio, and imagine my friends sitting miserably in their cars in a jam, feeling bored, or waiting unhappily for an overcrowded tram in the rain, I realise that I really haven't got much to complain about. I could even work in my pyjamas if I wanted, although I prefer wearing something more professional. I find a CD which will start me thinking, turn it up really loudly and begin another picture. 1 What is the writer trying to do in the text? A tell readers to work at home B explain why he has changed his job C describe his working life D say how he would like to work 2 What does the writer like about his life?
