LANGUAGES 1. Read the text and circle the best title. a Language studies in England b A different language to study c Why English people study languages Most students at school study at least one and maybe two languages apart from their own. European children tend to learn European languages and in England these languages are probably French, Spanish or German, but one student, Alex Brown, learns another language after school, and it’s not European. It’s Swahili. Alex is interested in the language because his grandparents are originally from the southern part of Africa and their first language is Swahili. So, every day when classes finish, Alex goes to his grandparents’ house for his extra class. Alex really enjoys learning from his grandfather, because he loves hearing all the old stories about his grandfather’s childhood. His grandfather obviously doesn’t ask for any money, but Alex pays for the class in another way. He looks after his grandparents’ garden. He enjoys cutting the grass and watering the plants, but the one thing he doesn’t like is collecting the fallen leaves from the trees. Alex’s dad picks him up after the class to take him home. ‘I’m very happy that my son is learning the language of my father’ he says. ‘When he is older he can go to Africa to visit his distant family and talk to them.’ 2.

because it was such an important exam that I really needed to study hard, but then I heard the sound again. It was so strange because I don’t live anywhere near a farm. I put my book down and listened but I could only hear silence. I went back to studying until lunchtime and then I went into the sitting room, where my brother was watching television. I asked him about the cow sound but he didn’t know what I was talking about. The volume on the TV was so loud that he couldn’t hear anything. I walked into the kitchen and I heard the sound again, this time much louder. I looked out of the kitchen window and to my surprise, there really was a cow in the garden and it was eating my mum’s best flowers. It mooed again and I was so surprised that I could only stand there with my mouth open.

a Unfortunately, if I do this, my parents will be really angry. The other option is to leave school and go and study at college and if I do this, my parents will be pleased but my girlfriend won’t, because the college is in another town and if I go and study there I won’t see much of her. b If I do this, my parents will be happy and so will my girlfriend because she is definitely going to continue studying here. The next option is to leave school and look for a job. If I choose this one, and if I find a job, I will have more money, which will be good. This will also make my girlfriend happy. c Obviously, the first option is the one that makes my girlfriend and my parents happy, but I think it’s the one that I personally don’t want. I need a change and if I stay at school I think I’ll be demotivated and bored. So it looks like there is no option that will please everybody: What can I do? If someone can give me some advice, I’ll be very grateful! d On the 30th of June I have to make a decision and that’s not long as now we’re in April.

Dear Aunt Helen, I have a big problem. Do you remember the photos of the girl, Isabel, who I met when we were on holiday in Spain? Well, now I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t concentrate on my studies and in a German test yesterday my mind was blank and I couldn’t remember anything! I don’t know why, and I failed it! What can I do? I’m worried that I’ll fail all my exams because all that I do is think about her. If I could stop thinking about her, I’d be OK. Love, Keith Dear Keith, First of all, I think it’s great that you met such a lovely girl! She’s very beautiful in the photos you sent me. You should be glad to know her and you shouldn’t be stressed. I know you’re unhappy because she’s far away but you should be positive. She’s not in Australia! You could ask your parents for a plane ticket to Spain for your birthday. And you shouldn’t be embarrassed about it. If you explained how you felt to them, I’m sure they’d understand. And you shouldn’t worry about your exams. If you were more relaxed, I’m confident that you’d pass them. And remember that I’m very happy for you! Aunt Helen 2.

I was watching television – a boring programme about famous people. It was quite depressing really. Then I heard a noise like tic, tic, tic. At first I didn’t take any notice but then it got really annoying, so I switched off the TV and tried to locate where it was coming from. However, as soon as I stood up the noise

I’ve had strange experiences before but this was definitely one of the strangest. I stood up again. Again the sound stopped. When I sat down I saw the most shocking thing. Three white fingers under the sofa. I couldn’t stop myself screaming and in that moment the ghost came out from under the sofa and said ‘Hello!’ I ran out of the room and I haven’t returned yet.

She looks like a very normal person, who probably had a very normal past. Don’t be deceived. Ann used to be very different. For a start, Ann used to be known as Annie. Annie Mator to be precise, and she used to have green hair as the lead singer in a rock group called the Animators, which used to be very successful in China and Japan in the late nineties, although not in Europe. ‘It was amazing at the time.’ Annie told me. ‘We used to go out on the streets of Tokyo and have hundreds of fans asking for our autographs.’ I asked about Europe. ‘No. Nobody knew us at all in Europe, which was great because we used to get quite tired of all the attention in the Far East. We used to spend at least six months a year there, so it was nice to get back to a place where you could be anonymous.’ So what happened? Why is she now a ‘normal’ wife and mother? ‘In the end I just got tired of all the travelling. It used to be great to live that kind of lifestyle, but after three years of it I decided that it was time to lead a quieter life. I started going out with the drummer who was on our last tour of China, and now we’re married and living in London, where nobody knows who we are, which is wonderful!’

DISASTER IN GALICIA 1. Read the text and circle the best title. a Ship sinks near Galicia b Oil disaster off Galician coast c Storm causes ship to sink In November 2002, the oil tanker Prestige broke in two off the Galician coast, to the north-west of Spain, leading to one of the worst environmental disasters Spain has experienced. The ship, which was carrying more than 70,000 tonnes of oil, started to have problems when it was caught in a terrible storm. The strong waves broke a hole in the side of the ship and, despite attempts to avoid the disaster, a large amount of oil was released into the sea. Westerly winds blew a large amount of this oil onto the Galician beaches and rocks, destroying wildlife and one of the most beautiful parts of European coastline. Fishing also had to be completely suspended in the area, meaning many local people lost their means of earning money. After a few days floating helplessly at sea, the Prestige sank, taking to the bottom with it most of its deadly cargo, the long-term consequences of which are not yet known. Thousands of local people helped clean the more than 140 beaches affected along the ‘Coast of Death’ by removing the oil and taking affected sea birds to have the oil removed from their feathers. Only time will tell if this natural paradise will return to its previous state. 2. Read the text again and answer the questions. 1 Into how many parts did the ship break?

She also said that, after voting for the government in the last election, she definitely wouldn’t be voting for them again. b Last Saturday a demonstration marched to Parliament to protest about the government’s policies. Two large organisations were involved in the march. One was ‘Green Planet’, which was demonstrating in general about environmental problems and specifically about the new law on nuclear energy. c We also asked a member of the government for his views and he said people didn’t understand how complicated it was to solve these problems and that the government was doing everything it could to make things better. We told him about the unfortunate woman and all her problems but he said he had no comment on the matter. d The other was ‘No More Crime’, which believes that the government does not do enough to prevent crime and violence.

MYSTERY PRODUCT 1. Read the text and decide which product was made and sold. a magazine b newspaper c novel d comic First, obviously, it was written by the author, on his portable laptop computer. Then the story was sent to the publishers. The editor thought that the general idea was fantastic, although the story was a bit flawed in places, so parts of it were rewritten. When everyone had decided that it was ready to be printed, the complete work was loaded onto the publisher’s main computer. The work was 326 pages long, so 163 sheets of paper were needed, as both sides are used. These were loaded into the printer and a test was printed. When everyone was satisfied, thousands of copies were printed. Also the front and back covers were designed. An artist was employed for this job, and when they were approved by the author and the editor, these were also printed, on special, more expensive paper, and in colour. The product wasn’t advertised heavily, but copies were given to critics, whose reviews were read by many people. The product was sold in specialised shops and also in department stores, in their literary section, and because the reviews described it as ‘excellent’ and ‘superb’, nearly a hundred thousand copies were sold. 2.

Oscar Wilde is one of the best-known characters of British literary history. Wilde grew up in a professional middle-class family in Dublin. He was a brilliant student and went

popular success, it has never been out of print since. The story is set in London towards the end of the 19th century. Basil Hallward has painted a portrait of a handsome young man, Dorian Gray. Thrilled by the beauty of the painting, Dorian Gray wishes that he could always stay as young as his image in the picture. He gives up his soul to achieve this wish. Dorian sets out on a life of self-indulgence

to England to study at Oxford University. He was very ambitious and wanted to join English high society. He soon became famous for his witty conversation, especially his ironic epigrams or amusing sayings. Oscar Wilde was flamboyant and eccentric from an early age. At a time when men only wore black or grey he put on colourful clothes, grew his hair long and wore a green flower in his buttonhole.

and evil. His behaviour seems to be reflected in the portrait and he realises that his wish has come true – the portrait is beginning to show a corrupted man while he remains unchanged. Frightened of what is happening, Dorian hides the picture in a locked room. The years pass and Dorian leads an increasingly depraved life, but the years have no effect on him; he looks as young and beautiful as ever. Then one evening he meets

He was a founder member of the influential ‘aesthetic movement’ which believed in ‘art for art’s sake’ and rejected the strict morality of Victorian society which regarded all sexual matters as ‘dirty’ and immoral. In Victorian England all men were expected to get married and have a family. Oscar married and had two children, but he secretly loved men, something which was considered disgusting and was a serious crime. Oscar kept

the consequences of his own immoral life because the portrait will take the blame for him. But, of course, he goes too far by killing his old friend Basil Hallward and begins to suffer from guilt. Wilde is showing us that nobody can ever escape the moral consequences of their actions. To this familiar moral fable Wilde adds the extra ingredient of sexual scandal. Although the novel never actually describes it, the reader is

> Background and themes The Picture of Dorian Gray is often described as a melodrama, in other words a work in which everything is larger than life. It is more like a myth or a morality tale than the realistic novels which modern readers are accustomed to. It contains so much dialogue that it is almost as if it is a written version of a stage play. This is not surprising as Wilde went on to write a series of

Apart from the story of Sibyl Vane, we do not know exactly what Dorian does that is so ‘immoral’, as in Victorian England it was impossible for a writer to be honest about sexual matters. In the end, good triumphs over evil when Dorian kills himself. This is the type of moral ending that was expected in 19th century literature. The Picture of Dorian Gray is not simply a

enormously successful plays in the three years following its publication, including his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest. The theme of The Picture of Dorian Gray is a recurring one in European culture, most famously expounded in Faust. In the story of Faust, the devil tempts a man to sell his soul in exchange for all the things he desires. The result is disaster and the lesson is that a man’s soul is more valuable than anything he could

moral fable. It is full of Oscar Wilde’s unique wit and humour. The dialogue sparkles with numerous examples of Wilde’s epigrams— short witty sayings which have now become part of the English language. These epigrams are often based on irony or a reversal of logic, a typical example of which is when Lord Henry says ‘I choose my friends for their beauty and my enemies for their intelligence. A man cannot be too careful in choosing his enemies.’

Wilde’s own conversation was full of this wit, and it gives the novel an extra dimension which most Victorian stories lack.

> Communicative activities The following teacher-led activities cover the same sections of text as the exercises at the back of the reader, and supplement those exercises. For supplementary exercises covering shorter sections of the book, see the photocopiable Student’s Activities pages of this Factsheet. These are primarily for use with class readers but, with the exception of discussion and pair/groupwork questions, can also be used by students working alone in a self-access centre.

> Activities before reading the book Put students into small groups to discuss these questions: Some tribes in the Amazon rainforest do not allow scientists to take photographs of them. They believe that each time you take a photograph of someone you take a little bit of their soul away. Can the class explain why this is? Do they share these feelings?

Chapters 4–6 1. Put students into small groups to answer these questions: a Why does Dorian change his mind about Sibyl? b ‘He felt the time had come to choose. Or had he already chosen?’ (p. 32). What is this choice? c What would you choose if you were in the same situation? Chapters 7–8 Put students into pairs. They write as many adjectives as they can to describe Basil Hallward and as many adjectives as they can to describe Lord Henry. After 5–10 minutes, put two pairs together to compare ideas. They make a list of adjectives they all agree with. Write all adjectives on the board. Chapters 9–10 Put this sentence on the board: ‘Corruption is a thing that writes itself across a man’s face. It cannot be hidden.’ (p. 45). Put students into small groups. They discuss this statement and whether they agree with it or not.

> Activities after reading a section Chapters 1–3 Write this famous epigram (clever, witty or funny saying) from the book on the board: ‘I choose my friends for their beauty and my enemies for their intelligence. A man cannot be too careful in choosing his enemies.’ Ask students to work in pairs. Do they agree with this saying or not? Each student finds one more epigram from these chapters.

Chapters 11–13 Dorian says ‘I have done too many terrible things in my life. I am not going to do any more.’ (p. 56). In small groups, students answer these questions: a Do you believe what Dorian says above? b Can you think of ways people can get forgiveness for earlier bad behaviour?

After this, he took up writing full time, except for a brief period in 1996 when he represented the family of a railroad brakeman killed at

in his work as a lawyer. In the book he explores the ways in which the Mafia operate in the criminal world and how this can accidentally affect the lives of innocent people. Where the Mafia are involved, the powerful federal law enforcement agency, the FBI, also have an interest and ordinary people can find themselves caught in the middle with apparently no way out.

Mark himself is an intelligent boy who has had to grow up too fast. His father was violent and left the family to live in poverty. As a result, Dianne, the mother, has to work, and the children find themselves often on their own. Mark has taken on the role of ‘father’ to his little brother, Ricky, teaching him what he knows. Mark is used to finding his own way around: he is tough and self-reliant. But much

This situation is typical of Grisham’s stories: an ordinary person is suddenly faced with a life-or-death moral choice. In The Client the person in this situation is a child, which gives the drama an added sense of poignancy. Should Mark tell a lie and save himself, or should he give the FBI the information they want and put himself and his family in danger from the Mafia? Many of the professional adults in the book

of what Mark knows about the world, especially the criminal world, comes from what he has seen on TV. There are some interesting questions here: do children see too much violence on TV? Or does TV perform a useful function in teaching children about life? Real violence, such as when Clifford shoots himself in front of the two boys, is shown as being too shocking for a child to cope with and Ricky is hospitalised as a

are not shown in a very good light. The FBI men try to frighten Mark into telling them what they want, infringing his rights as a witness. They clearly do not have his interests in mind. The prosecution lawyer Foltrigg’s main interest is his own self-publicity and the success of his court case. He does not care what Mark, a child, might have to suffer as a result. The news reporter, Moeller, is unscrupulous in pursuit of what he thinks is a good story.

result. On the other hand, Mark uses what he knows from the TV. Sometimes this lands him in trouble, as when he tries to save Clifford. Sometimes it helps him. But sometimes, too, TV can give a false view of the world.

However, there is one adult who is able to give Mark the help he needs. Reggie is not interested in working for financial gain – all she gets is one dollar – but because she sees that she can help someone in real need. This contrasts pointedly with the other lawyer in the

room they are caught by the Thought Police, taken away and separated.

Teacher’s Notes

Winston wakes up in prison. O’Brien visits him, and Winston realises that he has been tricked and betrayed. O’Brien tortures Winston systematically and he is forced to confess to crimes he has not done. Finally, he begs O’Brien to kill Julia rather than himself. His abilities to think independently or to feel genuine emotion are completely eroded – he loves Big Brother.

> Summary Winston Smith lives in an imaginary future where the government (‘Big Brother’) watches and controls the actions and thoughts of all citizens. He lives in London – a dirty city destroyed by an on-going war. There is no good housing or food for ordinary citizens and things that break down are rarely repaired. Winston works for the Ministry of Truth where he rewrites facts about history and politics. The Ministry uses this propaganda to brainwash its citizens and prevent any criticism. But Winston is different from the people around him: he is still able to think for himself. He instinctively hates the system under which he is forced to live and he is desperate to express his own

> About George Orwell George Orwell was born in India into a middleclass English family in 1903. He went to private school in England where he learnt to distrust the British class system, and in 1922 he started work as a policeman in Burma. In 1927 Orwell returned to Europe, choosing to live

opinions and feelings. Winston starts a relationship with an attractive young woman, Julia, who also works at the Ministry. Sexual love is not allowed, and their relationship is an act against the party as well as an expression of emotion. They rent a room above a shop where they believe nobody can see them and their relationship develops. O’Brien, an Inner-Party member from the Ministry, invites Winston to his home and tells

among the poorest people in order to challenge his own middle-class viewpoint. He wrote Down and Out in Paris and London about his experiences. Orwell became a passionate supporter of socialist ideals and his politics is strongly represented in everything that he wrote. In 1936 Orwell went to Spain to report on the Spanish Civil War. He fought against General Franco’s Fascist rebellion. He wrote about his

understanding the past can we judge and make informed decisions about our future. At the ironically named Ministry of Truth, Winston and his colleagues work on re-writing and erasing history so that citizens remain ignorant and the Party is always in the right. Winston records history by writing in his diary too – itself an act of rebellion. When all else fails, the Party maintains

systems. Orwell was a socialist, believing strongly that individuals should be treated fairly and equally by their governments. However, his in-depth knowledge of European history and contemporary politics meant he was aware that socialist ideals were not easily put into practice. In 1984 Orwell shows how and why a government can become all-powerful and all individual freedom completely eroded. As Goldstein’s book explains (Chapter 8), absolute

power by using brute force. Those who do not conform are killed (‘vaporized’) or tortured until fear prevents them from opposing the government in any way. Orwell’s experiences in Spain exposed him to human brutality of the worst kind. 1984 warns us that ignoring the violent side of human nature can cost us our individual freedom. In 1984 difficult political ideas are expressed in a very simple and elegant style. Almost all

equality in society is impossible. There will always be different social classes, and it is human nature for humans to exert power over weaker people. One way in which the government maintain and strengthen their power is manipulating language. Just as clever advertising slogans and political messages might persuade us today, Big Brother uses language to plant new ideas in peoples’ minds and erase old ones. As Syme

the language associated with the Party is extremely ironic (Big Brother is a cruel tyrant, not a loving, protecting friend; the Ministry of Truth manufactures lies; and the Ministry of Love tortures, kills and destroys). Similarly, the contradictory Party slogans reflect the inherent absurdity of the Party policy itself (War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength). Essentially, 1984 is about the balance

explains in Chapter 3, if a word like ‘freedom’ does not exist, then the whole idea of freedom also ceases to exist. Orwell stresses this point by inventing a whole new language, ‘Newspeak’ for 1984. Similarly, Orwell exemplifies the importance

between personal liberty and social order. It is a warning of what could happen under a government that takes more and more responsibility for social order upon itself.

Chapter 12 1. Winston has moved to a more comfortable cell. He eats a meal three times a day and he is getting fatter and stronger every day. O’Brien takes Winston to Room 101 because he must love Big Brother. On the table there is a big metal box full of rats – the worst thing in the world for Winston. O’Brien puts the wide end of the tube over Winston’s face and Winston can see the first rat. So Winston betrays Julia. Finally, Winston sits in the Chestnut Tree Café and drinks some gin. He has met Julia again, in a park on a cold day in March, but he only cares about himself now. Teacher’s Resource Bank ESO 4 / © Pearson Educación, S.A., 2006
