R E A D I N G I You are going to read an article about fashion shows. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each part (1-5) of the article. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0). Fashion shows Putting on a fashion show is not as glamorous as it looks Sharon Stansfield finds out what the stress is all about. 0 No time off for designers The shows Rome, Paris and New York are over for another season. Fashion journalists can put down their notebooks with a sigh of relief, and buyers can return to their offices. For the designers, there is hardly time to congratulate themselves or lick their wounds before the whole business starts all over again. In just few months they must have their next collection of clothes ready for the April shows. 1 C Disappointments to overcome Over the next few months, designers and their creative teams will work together to create a spectacle that will hopefully fire the imagination of the fashion journalists and wake up the buyers. If the show s a failure and no one wants to buy, the designer could be out of work. There s more than models bad moods to worry about show-time is nerve-racking for everyone involved, from the designers to the wardrobe people. 2 F It s worth all the stress Designer Carl Stanton describes the nightmare of working on a show. It can be pure madness backstage. That s the only time I ever wonder why I m doing it. It just becomes chaos. There s just so much to think about. I spend the whole time in a state of high anxiety. But when it s finished, I just can t wait for the next one. The shows are the reason I do what I do and I get a real thrill out of them. 5
3 A Having new ideas Carl Stanton s latest collection was well received. But after taking a short break, it was not long before he began to think about his next collection. Designers work a year ahead, so right now they ll be working on collections that will be in the shops this time next year. However, inspiration is not a thing that can be turned on and off whenever you like and though designers work to tight schedules, Carl Stanton explains how creativity can t be timetabled to suit. All of a sudden I get this feeling in my head, then I sit down and sketch and it just pours out of me. 4 B Making the clothes Once the designs are on paper and the designer has chosen the fabrics, he or she wants to work with, the sample collection for the shows can be produced. This is carried out by the design team under the designer s supervision. Firstly, the cutter makes an initial pattern of the garment from the designer s sketch. Then a model is made, which is then altered by the designer until it is exactly how they want it. Finally, the perfected patterns are passed over to a machinist. 5 D Making it all look attractive While the garments are being made, the designer starts to work with a stylist. Together they decide on how the collection is going to be presented at the shows. This involves deciding what hats, bags, belts should be used, and the hiring of the creative team choreographer, producer, hair-stylist and make-up artist. The more money a designer has available, the more experts he or she can employ to create a successful show. A B C D E F Having new ideas Making the clothes Disappointments to overcome Making it all look attractive Keeping things under control It s worth all the stress 6
II Read the following text carefully: The story of King Henry VIII Historically King Henry VIII of England (1491-1547) is famous for having six wives: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr. In total there were three Catherine's, two Anne's and one Jane. He divorced Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves and beheaded Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Jane Seymour died naturally. The only wife to survive the saga was Catherine Parr. It's generally accepted that the reason for King Henry's troubled married life was his strong desire for a son to keep the Tudor line going. The only queen who gave him one was Jane Seymour but she died at childbirth and the sickly son Edward VI eventually died in 1553 aged 16 years. Catherine of Aragon bore him Mary I and Anne Boleyn gave birth to Elizabeth I, both of whom eventually became queens of England, despite having been declared illegitimate. But what really made Henry VIII famous was his establishment of the Church of England. The highly powerful Rome-based Pope and Catholic Church did not approve his divorces so Henry went his own way and executed any objectors. It changed the course of history. Another important event during his reign was the creation of a proper English navy, starting in 1536. The English fleet grew from three to 54 ships and established a professional administration, something that had a great bearing on the future development of the nation. As a person, Henry VIII was egotistical, arrogant, boastful and treacherous. He often used people for his personal ends. Hailed as a great sportsman, he was an expert archer and hunter and fancied himself as a wrestler. He enjoyed cock fighting and playing tennis. He loved music and composed several pieces and poems. He also liked singing. It is said he composed Greensleeves but this is doubtful. While he led his extravagant arty and sporty lifestyle he left the hard work of government to others and punished them severely when things went wrong, often with death. His cold heartedness is well depicted in his dealings with his second wife Anne Boleyn. When their daughter Elizabeth was born, he refused to attend the christening because it was not a son. Anne reputedly has six fingers on her left hand, believed by some in those days to be a sign of the devil, and Henry used this and other creations against her when he put on trial. While Anne was being beheaded he played a game of tennis. When they told him she was dead he went straight to Jane Seymour's chamber. In later life he grew grotesquely fat and became paranoid. When he died he asked to be buried next to Jane Seymour, the only woman who had bore him the son he wanted. Find expressions in the text which have a similar meaning to the following ones: 1.

III You are going to read an article in which a film critic talks about his work. For questions 1 5, choose the answer A, B, C or D which you think fits best according to the text. Film Critic Paul Turner looks back over the last ten years of his work as a film critic for a newspaper called The Front Page Writing articles about films for the Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tim Sheffield, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had also written for radio and television. He hired me, but Tim was not primarily a journalist, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff. At first, his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didn t require specialized knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover, though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable. It all felt like a bit of a dream at that time: a new newspaper and I was one of the team. It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market. It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally, and was pretending to employ me. Such was my lack of selfconfidence. In fact, the first time I saw someone reading the newspaper on the London Underground, and then turning to a page on which one of my reviews appeared, I didn t know where to look. Tom s original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom s initial push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write an extended weekly piece, usually on one film. The luxury of this way of working suits me well, I wouldn t have been interested in the more standard film critic s role, which involves considering every film that comes out. That s a routine that would make stale in no time at all. I would soon be sitting into my seat on a Monday morning with the sigh, What insulting rubbish must I sit through now? a style of sigh that can often be heard in screening rooms around the world. The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public arena? I assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. There is also such a thing as loyalty to type or its opposite. It can only rarely happen that someone who hates westerns buys a ticket for one after reading a review, or a love story addict avoids a romantic film because of what the papers say. So if a film review isn t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don t feel I have a responsibility to be right about a movie. 8
