PUTTING ON THE SHOW

It's showtime . . . Copacabana is pure entertainment – a musical extravaganza. But what and who does it take to put on such a production?

1

_______I__________First things first – the words. Working on the script with the show’s creator, Barry Manilow, was his old friend and writing partner, Bruce Sussman. They are about to celebrate 22 years together in the business. ”In this business, partnerships are usually short- lived, “ says Bruce.

1 ____D____________Time was not the only obstacle to getting this show on the road. “ Barry’s based in California and I’m in New York, and for us the best time is when we sit down together . Barry and I tend to write impulsively, our greatest creative ideas happen together when we’re around piano, “ he says. “ Barry was in Australia at one point and he rang me from his hotel and played a tune down the phone to me, “ he recalls, dismissing the difficulties of such an arrangement. 2 ______B_________Even when we think the script is finished, there are usually endless changes, as with any show, even during the run itself. “ The scary part is when all the scenery, equipment and lights are about to be set up – then you have to give up all your power to people who know what to do. “

3 _____A_________Costume designer Hugh Durrant had to design over 3000 costumes, 200 pairs of shoes and 100 wigs, as well as intricate jewellery. “ I was given the script and songs, and spent some time researching clothing of the 1940s and 50s when the show takes place. It was then a case of sitting down and making loads of rough sketches and then finalized drawings. Once that was done, it all had to be approved, and then we sorted out all the details.”

4 ____C_________But turning those drawings into the real thing proved difficult. “It was then a case of finding the right people to make the costumes, for there aren't many shows in England that have those kind of showgirl outfits, so finding the right person to make them was quite difficult. That was half of battle of my work, “ says Stuart.

5 _______H_______The costumes also had to go together with the stage design, and this is where the design company, Imagination, came in. They were asked on September 10th to set initial ideas on paper, “I can remember the date very well, “recalls Jeremy Stuart, the design co-ordinator at Imagination. “ Two weeks after that I had a meeting in America with the production team to go over the proposals.“ Then the Imagination team worked on those ideas, trying to work within a budget. “Drawing up design proposals that everyone was happy with took about four to six weeks, “ says Stuart.

6 ______E________Once the design has been finalised, the process of making that a living things follow; engineers and technicians are called in to take those plans from the paper stage to reality. “Once that was done we did a dry run in the theatre, using all the equipment and the scenery changes, and worked out the timing. This was to iron out any problems and then the exact timings and directions were transfered to the computer.“

7 _______G_______The next step was the casting. Nicola Dawn won the part of Lola, and althought she's newcomer to the stage, she is a beginner in a leading role. For her it has also been a rollercoaster of events. “ I auditioned for the part in January, then rehearsels started in February. They were quite hectic – it was quite a tight shedule, doing a completely new show in four weeks. The atmosphere was amazing in rehearsals, there's nothing to beat that, “ she smiles, playing down the hard work involved. Then it was time for the final rehearsals and then the real thing.

PART II

You are going to read a magazine article about an author. For questins 8 – 15, chose the correct answer A, B, C or D.

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in it's own right.“These are the words of Mollie Hunter, a well known author of books for youngsters. Born and bred near Edinburhg, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarly for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market. In Mollie's opinion it is essential to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing.: “If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed, “she says.

With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but the music of language;“ she says. This love goes back to early childhood. “I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grow up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said: “Nonsense, Mollie dear, you'll be a writer.“ So, eventually, I thought that this woman must have something, since she was such a good teacher – and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer. “

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields – sadly now covered with modern houses. “ I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back,“ she said. “Never.“ “When I set one of my books in Scotland,“ she said, “I can recapture my romantic feeling as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.“

To this day, Mollie has a lively affection for children, which is reflected in the love she has for her writing. “When we have visitiors with children the adults always say, “If you go to visit Mollie, she'll spend more time with the children.“ They don't realize that children are much more interesting company. I've heard all that adults have to say before. The children have something new.“

8. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book? A It should not aim at a narrow audience. B It should be attractive to young readers. C It should be based on original ideas. D It should not include too much conversation.

9. In Mollie's Hunter opinion, one sign of a poor writer is A lifelees characters. B complicated ideas. C the weakness of the description. D the absence of a story.

3

10. What do we learn about Mollie hunter as a very young child? A She didn't expect to be come a writer. B She didn't enjoy writing stories. C She didn't have any particular ambitions. D She didn't respect her teacher's views.

11. What does “its“ ( in bold type) refer to? A novel B picture C ambition D struggle

12. How does Mollie feel about what has happened to her birthplace? A confused B ashamed C disappointed D surprised

13. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are A more intelligent. B better informed. C less keen to learn. D less interested in fiction.

14. Mollie's adult visitors generally discover that A she is very generous person B she is interesting company. C she doesn't pay attention to their children D she pays more attention to their children.

15. What is the writer's purpose in this text? A to describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books B to share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books C to provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers D to introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience

PART III

You are going to read a magazine article about a trip to Australia. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the pragraphs A – H the one which fits each gap (16–21). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning.

A It felt good, if strange, to hear her voice again, and I heard myself saying: “You never know, you might see me there one of these days.“ Sheila answered: “Do you really mean that?“ And suddenly, the throwaway remark became a real possibility.

B It must have been the adrenalin that kept us going when we reached our desrination. Sheila, Maureen and I sat up late that night, talking non- stop as we caught up on just some of our news.

4

C Mike, my husband, decided not to go, and our son, Michael, was busy at work. But Maureen was still at school, and we both felt it would be a wonderful adventure for her, as well as moral support for me.

D The plan had been hatched eleven months earlier. After many years, my sister suddenly decided it was time to reinforce old family ties.

E I realized afterwards that getting to Australia was a great achievement – as well as the knowledge that if you plan in advance, and save on a regular basis, you can afford to go anywhere. The world is really open to you as Maureen realized.

F We walked down the steps, and I was surprised to find that although it was early summer, it wasn't particularly warm. It was jumper weather.

G The long preparation was essential, because it gave me time to get funds together, and shop around for a good deal on flights-important, as prices vary so much.

H I don't know who I was trying to convince, her or me. The fact was, I was feeling incredibly nervous. And the nerves were mixed up with jetlag, tiredness and excitement.

TRIP TO AUSTRALIA

The noise of the engines changed, became louder. After a slow 36-hour flight from England to Australia, we were about to land. I looked at Maureen, my teenage daughter, sitting beside me, and gave her what I hoped was a big reassuring grin.

____ H_____

I was about to see my elder sister Sheila, who had gone to live in Australia 13 years previously, for the first time in many years. Since she left England, we had all but lost touch. Now in just a few minutes. I was going to see her. The plane dipped lower. I could see a sunlit below, with a small building to the side. The plane touched the ground.

16 ____F________

And then, we were in the airport building. My sister stood there, instantly recognisable, and we gave each other a hug. At last, I knew that I'd done the right thing in going, that it had been worth all the saving, all the organizing.

17_____D_______

She sent our mother a plane ticket, so they could spent Christmas together. On New Year's Day, while my mother was there I plucked up the courage to phone. It was the first time Sheila and I had spoken in eleven years.

18_______A_____

I'd never even left Europe before. The first thing I had to do was save. So I put a small amount away each month and over eleven months it built up into a tidy sum, enough for me and my daughter to spend a month in Australia.

5

19______G______

Having done that, we choose an inexpensive Far Eastern airline, which stopped of at about five places. But we didn't mind that particularly – we were going to see the world. We started our journey on a Sunday evening. We arrived in Australia on Wednesday, towards noon.

20______B______

“Does it feel foreign?“ Sheila kept asking, as she showed me around her home. It was very Australian – single storey, with a family sitting – room in the cellar. But it doesn't strike me as a foreign – I felt at home there.

21______E______

When she got itchy feet after going to Australia, she saved for her own adventure. She's currently travelling around the world and she's just been staying with her aunt Sheila. The family link carries on.

PART IV

You are going to read a magazine article about people who have run a restaurant. For questions 22 – 35, choose from the couples A – E. Some of the couples may be used more than once. There is an example at the beginning.

WOULDN'T IT BE FUN TO RUN A RESTAURANT!

People – ordinary, sane, decent but untrained people – have decided that it would be wonderful to start their own restaurant.

A Roger Bates knew he wanted his own restaurant when he was 23. But he didn't make his move until he was 39. The property he and his wife, Sandra, bought is a restaurant with rooms for guests, which is down a quiet lane on the wooden slopes of a beautiful valley. “People will come and find you if you are good enough. That was the challenge.“ Roger said that only unpredicted difficulty was the attitude of some of the customers. “It was hard to get used to being treated like servants.“ For Sandra, the most demanding part was the physical work. She also had the difficulty of taking over someone else's staff and someone else's menus. She gradually changed the menus, and she has a little more time off now that the business is established.B Tony and Gina Wignell, of Strathlachlan in Scotland, have spent their whole lives in the hotel and catering industry. They have made one major sacrifice, however, as by moving into a restaurant they have a considerable drop in income for a better quality of life. Tony and Gina used to manage a hotel, which provided financial security but neverending work. Moving to the restaurant has meant working seven days a week in the high season, but they can make time for themselves by shutting in the afternoon. And by closing down entirely during the off season, they get a clear two months off. But they found it hard to combine being in the restaurant trade with bringing up the family. Despite this they carried on and their children, now 18 and 20, look back and say that they never realised that there was any other life.C It's a similar story for Tina Bricknell – Webb and her husband Tony. “I'm on my feet for such long hours. You have to be incredibly strong to do this job.“ Tina's first experience of cooking in a restaurant was when the chef walked out three days after it was opened. Gradually, her confidence has built up. For Tony and Tina the hard work has been worthwhile by a special award for excellent food. “If you have a place like this, the customers want to see you there every time they come in. You are an actor and they've bought your performance with the price of dinner.“ Clearly proud of their achievement, the Bricknell – Webbs admit there have been sacrifices. They have no social life and no children. If they did start a family the restaurant would have to go.D David and Jane Blackford found this to be true. When their restaurant opened for business they had two small children. “When they were very small we could manage by putting them to bed early but later there was a real conflict of interests. On Saturdays and Sundays we'd sit them down in front of the videos. I ended up feeling that it was David and the restaurant against me and the children. “ When David caught pneumonia, they made their decision. The family had to come first. “One day we may have another adventure in the restaurant trade, but for the time being putting up the “closed“ sign has been a great relief.“E Perhaps David and Hilary Brown have the most perfect arrangement. Ever since they met at school in their teens they had dreamt of having a restaurant. While other teenagers went out to clubs David and Hilary saved up to go to restaurants. When they saw a little resturant for sale outside Edinburgh, they couldn't resist. Now the restaurant, which holds 30 people, is their whole life. It is well known for its food and appears in the best guide books, so people are prepared to travel long distance to eat there.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

0 A musician friend of mine once went on an English course during his

00 summer holidays. What he really wanted to do was to improve with his with

41 ability to think and react quickly and correctly in the spoken English. the

42 He said speaking in a foreign language always made him nervous, even if if

43 after three years of study. It turned out so that one of the teachers on the so

44 course had very strong views on music, and was not afraid to express

45 them in lessons. He claimed that music it was a drug, just like alcohol it

46 or cigarettes, and people who could not live through their lives without it through

47 were to be pitied. Whatever was the subject of the lesson, the teacher

48 always managed to include in some references to his idea. You can in

49 imagine that my friend was not very impressed. In the end, he lost his that

50 temper, and spent most of the remaining lessons arguing about music

51 and its role in people’s lives. When his course had finished, he came

52 home still being angry about the experience. However, whether he

53 has enjoyed the course or not, my friend had to admit that the teacher’s

54 technique had worked ever since his nervousness in English had completely ever

55 disappeared and he was speaking far more fluently than before.
