Electronic assistant: Hello! This is the electronic assistant of the Theatre Today Club. We are currently studying the changing role of theatres in the modem world. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. Please answer six questions. The survey is anonymous, so you don’t need to give your name. Let’s get started.

Electronic assistant: How often do you go to the theatre, if ever?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) To tell you the truth, I rarely go to the theatre . Approximately once a month not more. I believe it’s because the workload is so huge now. What is more, it’s not very cheap pasttime even taking into consideration special offers for students.

Electronic assistant: What kind of stage performances are popular with teenagers in your region? Why?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) I suppose dance, music, opera, theatre are mainstreams nowadays. However, I wish musical theatre, magic, illusion, mime, spoken word, puppetry, circus arts were as popular as for example going to the cinema . The thing is all these types of perfomances help you to escape from the reality and immerse in wonderful world of fantasy.

Electronic assistant: Which would you prefer, to go to the theatre or to watch a screen version of a play or a musical? Explain why.

Student: (pause 40 seconds) I would definetely prefer watching a screen version of a play to going to the theatre. First of all, to go to the theatre you should look smart and formal and I don’t have such clothes. Secondly, the tickets might cost up to 3000 rubles and I being a student can’t afoord it. That’s why I’d go for the screen version.

Electronic assistant: What is the most famous theatre in the place where you live?

Student: (pause 40 seconds)The Theatre of Opera and Ballet is the most popular place for both citizens and tourists who come to Voronezh. There’re usually many performances for representatives of different generation. What is more, it is situated in the downtown of our city that is why it has taken the fisrt place in top 10 the most popular tourist destinations in Voronezh Region.

Electronic assistant: Do you think that theatres will become unnecessary in the future? Explain why.

Student: (pause 40 seconds) Well, I am sure for 100% that in the future the theatres even will strengthen its position in the list of the most popular pastimes. The reason for that is that the theatre has the unique power to liven up our emotion, strengthen our psychological health, make us feel the emotions of which we are lack of.

Electronic assistant: What would you like to change in theatres to make them more attractive to teenagers?

Student: (pause 40 seconds) First of all, the price of the tickets should be lower. Then, there should be perfomances that can be easily understood by teens. Finally, special art clubs should be organized in order to develop teenagers’ love for this kind of art.

Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your time.

A. Developing healthy eating habits is simpler and easier than you might think. You will look and feel better if you make a habit of eating healthfully. You will have more energy and your immune system will be stronger. When you eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables you are lowering your risk of heart disease, cancers and many other serious health ailments. Healthy eating habits are your ticket to a healthier body and mind.

B. A four-week clinical trial that tested the new regimen found that overweight adults who consumed a high-protein, entirely vegan diet were able to lose about the same amount of weight as a comparison group of dieters on a high-carbohydrate, low-fat vegetarian dairy diet. But while those on the high-carbohydrate dairy diet experienced drops of 12 percent in their cholesterol, those on the high-protein vegan diet saw cholesterol reductions of 20 percent.

C. ‘The idea preyed on me for a long time. If the Atkins Diet looks good, and it’s got so much saturated fat and cholesterol in it, suppose we took that out and put vegetarian protein sources in, which may lower cholesterol,’ Dr. Jenkins said. ‘We know that nuts lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease, and soy is eaten in the Far East, where they don’t get much heart disease. So we put these foods together as protein and fat sources.’

D. The first official warning about the dangers of the Atkins diet was issued by the government amid concern about the rising number of people opting for the high-fat, high-protein diet. Cutting out starchy foods can be bad for your health because you could be missing out on a range of nutrients. Low-carbohydrate diets tend to be high in fat, and this could increase your chances of developing coronary heart disease.

E. Earlier this year, a large study that compared different kinds of diets — including low-fat and low-carbohydrate plans — found that the method didn’t matter as long as people cut calories. That study also found that after two years, most people had regained at least some of the weight they had lost. Dr. Tuttle said that while different weight loss plans offer people different ‘tricks’ and strategies, ultimately, ‘It really comes down to calories in and calories out.’

F. When you think about nutrition, be aware of serving sizes. Many people will eat everything on their plate, regardless of how hungry they actually are. If you know you tend to clean your plate, make an effort to reduce your serving size. If you’re eating out or dining at a friend’s house, don’t be shy about asking for smaller portion sizes. Too much of any one food is a bad thing. There are no bad foods, just bad eating habits.

G. Your body has to stay well hydrated to perform at its best and to properly process all the nutrients in the food you eat. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising. If you are trying to lose weight, add plenty of ice to each glass of water. Your body will burn energy to warm the water up to body temperature.

Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain. The Stonehenge that we see today is the final stage A ____________. But first let us look back 5,000 years.

The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a ditch, bank, and the Aubrey holes, all probably built around 3100 BC. The Aubrey holes are round pits in the chalk, about one metre wide and deep, B ____________. Excavations have revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were probably made not for the purpose of graves but as part of the religious ceremony. Shortly after this stage Stonehenge was abandoned, left untouched for over 1000 years.

The second and most dramatic stage of Stonehenge started around 2150 BC. Some 82 bluestones from south-west Wales were transported to the site. It is thought that these stones, some weighing 4 tonnes each, were dragged on rollers and sledges to the headwaters and then loaded onto rafts. This astonishing journey covered nearly 240 miles. Once at the site, these stones were set up in the centre C ____________.

The third stage of Stonehenge, about 2000 BC, saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones. The largest of the Sarsen stones weigh 50 tonnes and transportation by water would have been impossible D ____________. These stones were arranged in an outer circle with a continuous run of lintels. Inside the circle, five trilithons were placed in a horseshoe arrangement, E ____________.

The final stage took place soon after 1500 BC F ____________. The original number of stones in the bluestone circle was probably around sixty. They have long since been removed or broken up. Some remain only as stumps below ground level.

1. when the bluestones were rearranged in the horseshoe and circle that we see today
2. to form an incomplete double circle
3. which form a circle about 284 feet in diameter
4. which were almost certainly brought from the Marlborough Downs
5. so the stones could only have been moved using sledges and ropes
6. whose remains we can still see today
7. that was completed about 3,500 years ago

My room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till. I get up and make breakfast, watch TV, have a shower. If it’s before six in the morning, I usually have a cup of tea and go back to bed where I’ll doze until seven. If I stay at my sister’s, I sleep until the kids wake me or until she comes rolling in, poured from the back of some taxi, whichever is earlier. I’m an early riser, and a dead sleeper.

This morning I wake up with a twitch, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric jolt. It isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey, the same colour as the sea and it looks like the sun won’t appear before tomorrow. Today is Dad’s birthday. Every year on my Dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him and each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. There, I said it. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.

I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I go through phases when I like a certain artist or a movement. And I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back, I’ll be able to say ‘this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet’ or ‘this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.’ And he’ll look at each painting and know that I loved him and never forgot him.

At the moment I’m into lines, simple lines. It’s a development of a six month obsession I had with calligraphy, which came out of a phase I had with cartoons, which came from Liechtenstein and Warhol, and so on all the way back. So I get out my charcoals, and a couple of sticks of chalk and I pin a heavy sheet of grey A3 paper onto a board and rest it on my knee as I sit on the bed.

On Saturday mornings when my Mum worked, he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel, a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. ‘Draw me,’ he’d say. ‘Oh, Dad, I can’t.’ Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.

I should go to school, I really should. I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. I don’t get bullied and I’m not thick. I just can’t find a good reason to waste my day in a classroom studying physics or citizenship or Buddhism. I could learn them in the library. Phil, the head of year eleven, will bollock me for it tomorrow, if I go in. I’ll tell Phil the truth, it was my Dad’s birthday and I spent it with him.

So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year. I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my head, maybe a little muted, like it is when he’s happy but distracted, or trying to understand me when I’m babbling to him.

It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how his eyes sparkle and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black. I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell. Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth. And there he is. Dad.

Some people think that using cars are harmful, whereas others say that we can not stop using them.

I think that cars have become a part of modern life and we can not get rid of them. First of all, to move by car is faster than by foot. One can do far more things if he or she drives a car. Second, it is more comfortable to travel by car than by other means of transportation. A person has their own space where they can do whatever he or she wants like listen to any music or talk with anybody they want without being disturbed. Also, the car industry gives a lot of employment thus helping the whole country economically.

Some other people say cars pollute the environment badly. In big cities like Beijing people can hardly breath. Using cars make people walk less, which might cause different diseases.

Well, we can not stop industrial progress. What we can do is to make it less harmful. There are cars nowadays that run on electricity or hybrid energy sources. They do not pollute nature a lot. As for the physical inactivity, it can by solved by doing sport exercises.

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. It might be true that some people would do better without vehicles, but on the whole, people cannot and should not stop using cars.  Thus, I still support the idea that cars make a person’s life easier and more comfortable.

or

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight people might be better without vehicles but in actual fact they got used to cars and cannot live without them. Thus, I strongly believe that using cars makes a lot of sense.
