"Of course, you need to be extremely fit if you want to be a professional dancer I dance or move about for about six hours a day There are great health benefits to being a dancer I can eat a lot of pasta without gaining weight because dancing increases your metabolism so much." John has a very busy schedule in the next few months He took time out to speak to me today from the making of a pop video to promote N-ergy's latest record "I choreographed the dance routine for the boys and they only had two days in which to learn it! I am going to be working on a video for another well-known band - but that's top secret Next month I'll be touring Spain in a production of a musical that was written by a friend of mine, Michaela Evans P a g e 3|6 “As for the future, I've come to realise that I would never be content to be just a chorus dancer - I'm too much of an individual for that Like all artists I'd love to become a household name by writing and choreographing my own musicals." John was born in Jamaica to a Jamaican father and a Scottish mother but the family emigrated to England 20 years ago "I have a little sister I adore, who is also training to be a dancer." How does it feel to have someone else following in your footsteps? Has he much more to learn, I wondered "I've spent an incredible amount of my life training to get where I am I went to college for two years in England, I trained for six months in Paris and about eight months in America But you never really stop training or learning your art." So, would you say it's been plain sailing? "I feel I've been lucky to a degree; many people hit problems breaking into the arts It can be a vicious circle really You can't become a member of Equity, which is the actors' and dancers' union, without good contracts, and you can't get good contracts without being a member of Equity My advice to people who want to get into the arts would be to go out into the world, and try everything else first What has a dance career done for you as a person? "Thanks to dancing, I've visited and performed in 23 countries so far This has opened my eyes to the world, and I've been able to understand issues like racism and inequality from a wider perspective Hopefully this has enabled me to become a better and more tolerant person as a result "So all in all I'm really happy to be a dancer!" SENTENCES A It's fine, but I try not to give out too much advice as it gets irritating! B And if nothing you like comes out of it, then come back and be an actor or dancer C Without a strict daily timetable like this you find yourself wasting too much time D After that it's back to England to start a new term of dance classes E When it comes to coping with stress, I find that exercise helps me to cope with my problems, so I stay in good shape mentally as well F Like any profession where you're always travelling, you tend to acquire something new almost every day G Being fully equipped with all this stuff beforehand makes it easier when you go for auditions Section 2: Read the following extract and choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which best answers/ completes the questions (1) (5) Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers In English, at least three have been identified and described Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by (10) the majority Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories Every (15) generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events P a g e 4|6 It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population (20) Finally, it is worth noting that the terms ‘standard,’ ‘colloquial,’ and ‘slang’ exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A Standard speech B Idiomatic phrases C Different types of vocabulary D Dictionary usage How is slang defined by the author? A Words and phrases accepted by the majority for formal usage B Words and phrases understood by the majority but not found in standard dictionaries C Words and phrases that are understood by a restricted group of speakers D Words and phrases understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as formal usage The word ‘obscurity’ in line 13 could best be replaced by _ A disappearance B influence C qualification D tolerance The word ‘appropriate’ in line is closest in meaning to _ A old B large C correct D important The word ‘them’ in line 14 refers to _ A words B slang phrases C memories D the majority What does the author mean by the statement “Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations”? A Familiar words and phrases are found in both speech and writing in formal settings B Familiar situations that are experienced by most people are called colloquialisms C Informal language contains colloquialisms, which are not found in more formal language D Most of the speakers of a language can use both formal and informal speech in appropriate situations Which of the following is true of standard usage? A It can be used in formal and informal settings B It is limited to written language C It is only understood by the upper classes D It is constantly changing The author mentions all of the following as requirements for slang expressions to be created EXCEPT _ A new situations being accepted B new objects being introduced C a diverse population with many sub-groups D a number of linguists It can be inferred from the passage that the author A does not approve of either slang or colloquial speech in any situation B approves of colloquial speech in some situations, but not slang C approves of slang and colloquial speech in appropriate situations D does not approve of colloquial usage in writing Section 3: Read the text below and decide which word (A, B, C or D) best fits each space We send our children to school to prepare them (1) _the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves They learn their own language (2) _they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know and understand what others (3) _them They learn foreign languages in order to be able to (4) _ from what people in other countries written and said, and to make people from other countries understand what they themselves mean They learn arithmetic to (5) _ and to count things in their daily life, geography to know something about the world around them and history to know something about (6) _ beings they meet every day Nearly everything that they study at school has some practical use in their life and work But is that the only (7) _ why they go to school?
