Read the article about changes of appearance. For questions 1–10, choose
the best answer (A, B or C). There is an example at the beginning (0).
Most people don’t change their appearance, or their style of clothes, very often but, for some occupations,
it’s necessary. Film and music stars sometimes change their appearance for their job. Some actors look very
different in each film, and they change their appearance in real life too. For example, they become thinner.
Nicole Kidman wore a latex nose for The Hours, and she changed her hair colour – it is darker in the film.
Renee Zellweger often changes for films. She looked very different in the musical film about the 1920s,
Chicago, after she played a modern English journalist in The Diary of Bridget Jones. She spoke differently as
Bridget Jones, too – she spoke British English, but she is American!
Male actors change their body more often than female actors. When they’re preparing to be superheroes,
they go to the gym a lot, they work on their arms, and eat different food. For other films, they lose twenty
kilos, or they put on thirty. They change their hair, beards, moustaches – and then they change again, at the
end of the job.
For music stars, the situation is different. Top music stars create fashions, they don’t follow them. They
need a new style every year or two, because they want to stay at the top. In the 1960s and ‘70s, for
example, some created styles that are still fashionable, but that doesn’t often happen now. When popular
stars nowadays change their appearance a lot and wear strange clothes, we watch their changes, but we
don’t copy them. Their style or styles are personal. We often take fashion from music and usually from stars
that look a little like us. These ‘familiar’ stars come and go, they don’t stay for long. But for music or film
stars, who want to stay at the top for a long time, change is good. And change is necessary.
For questions 1–10, choose the best answer (A, B or C).
One type of entertainment was the only type of entertainment for many people for decades. It is over one hundred
years old and it helped save lives during World War II. It brought communities together, and it’s still popular in
houses, offices, shops, cafés and cars. What is it? The radio.
In Britain, until the ’60s, ‘radio’ meant the BBC. It belonged to the government, and had the news, stories for
children, documentaries, plays, cooking programmes, and a little music. It was a little boring for young people, but
families enjoyed listening together, and talking about the news. Some drama series were popular; neighbours listened
to the same series, and then talked about them together, like TV nowadays. The king or queen and the government
talked to the country on the radio, like they do on TV now. The radio was part of life.
In the 1960s, rock ‘n’ roll and Motown came to Europe from the USA, and European teenagers, like The Beatles,
listened to it to copy it, to make their own music and dance. Traditional radio stations didn’t like this new, young,
American fashion and didn’t play ‘pop’, but other, new stations did. Millions listened to the radio, and pop music
became the biggest type of entertainment for teenagers.
In the ’70s, the radio moved towards music and away from news, plays and documentaries. There were more and
more pop stars, and more and more music.
Nowadays, we still have the radio, but we don’t usually listen to it except in the car. At home or at work, we listen
online. Times change, technology and music change, but we’re going to have the radio for a long time.
Choose the correct answer.
6 In the ’60s, different kinds of music arrived in Europe and young people wanted to
make similar music.
A Right B Wrong C Doesn’t say
7 Not all radio stations liked the new kind of music.

8 Radio plays ended in the 1970s.

9 The writer says we don’t listen to radio in the same way now.

Hi Tom,
I recommend Hội An or Đà Lạt in Vietnam.
Hoi An is a charming old town with beautiful ancient
streets, lantern-lit evenings, riverside cafes, and
cultural sites. They can take easy walks and enjoy
boat rides along the Thu Bon River.
Alternatively, Đà Lạt offers a cooler climate, flower
gardens, and easy walks around Xuan Huong Lake—
perfect for a holiday.
Both spots are quiet and relaxing, ideal for a
comfortable trip.
Best wishes,
Mai
