A Peaceful Moment
I was in paradise. It was hot but not too hot. A light breeze was keeping the
temperature just right. I could feel the warm touch of the sun on my back as I lay
on my towel on the sand, and I closed my eyes. Happily, I was alone at last to enjoy
the peace of the deserted beach. It was completely quiet, apart from the soft sound
of the waves and the brushing noise of the leaves of the palm trees as they moved in
the breeze. I sighed and started to drift off. (1)School and exams were part of
another life.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes. What was that noise? Was I dreaming? (2)The noise
came from beyond the palm trees. This was followed by a loud shout. Then two voices
started arguing.
Angrily, I picked up my towel, book and suntan lotion. My peaceful moment had
been interrupted. (3)As I walked across the sand away from the sound ofvoices,
I heard more shouting behind me. I turned and saw a woman running towards me.
Her face was very pale and her long, blond hair was flying out behind her.
'Please ...,' she said. Then she fell forward on the sand and I gasped. The back of her
dress was dark red with blood.

ISTENING
F

most important thing we learn from
the film is not about the easy, casual
lifestyle ofthe DJs. It's about their love
of music and their desire to share this
with the listeners. They really wanted
to bring new sounds and new talent
to radio.
A new law in 1967 banned pirate
radio at sea, but some ships and land-
based pirate stations continue to
broadcast illegally today. They mainly
play music for minority groups, who
still can't hear the type of music they
love from the normal stations. The
pirate radio stations are part of our
musical history and without them,
who knows what sort of music we'd
be listening to today!
from international waters, the DJs
weren't breaking any laws and the
government couldn't close them
down. However, a lot ofpeople didn't
like this. One reason was that pirate
radio was competing with normal
radio stations for audiences, but there
was another reason too. The DJs on
the boats had a very relaxed way of
presenting and there were a lot of
stories about the way they lived on
the boats. They were blamed for
badly influencing a whole generation
of teenagers. Parents and politicians
alike were very angry!
The film The Boat That Rocked, which
came out in 2009, shows the life on
board one of these pirate ships in
great detail. Although the film did
badly financially at the box office, it
is well worth watching for anyone
interested in the 1960s and its music.
It is supposed to be based on the
life of DJs on one of the first pirate
ships, 'Radio Caroline'. This ship
started broadcasting in 1964. The
Today, music is easily available
to us all. No matter what our
taste is - whether we like soul, blues,
pop, reggae, urban or any other type
of music - we can tune into a radio
station and hear it, or go online and
download it. But it hasn't always been
that easy.
When pop and rock music was
starting to become very popular in
the 1960s, there weren't many radio
stations at the time that only played
music, and the few that did weren't
playing the type of music that young
people really wanted to hear. The BBC
radio presenters were allowed less
than an hour a day. What happened
next had an enormous effect not only
on the musical tastes of generations
of young people but also on the
development of music itself. Pirate
radio was born.
So, what exactly was and is pirate
radio? The name speaks for itself. DJs
started to broadcast non-stop music
from boats at sea. By transmitting

B when he was inspired by a video clip.
C because he wanted to enter a competition.
D so that he could advertise his own music.
Last year he recorded his song, Fly to

years old to ninety-eight. And they come :
from countries as far apart as the north
ofNorway and New Zealand.
The Fly to Paradise video is amazing.
The singers' faces appear on thousands
of windows in skyscraper buildings as
they sing, and the soundtrack of their
five thousand voices is unimaginably
moving. The song is five minutes long
but the credits that list the people in
the video go on for eight minutes! It is
incredible to think that each voice was

phone or tablet in a bedroom, bathroom
or basement. Do you want your voice to

and win the Best Choir prize. These
choirs may have between five and fifty
members. But Eric's Virtual Choir is
something very different indeed!
In 2009 a young girl, called Britlin
Losee, sent Eric a video of herself
singing a piece of his music. Eric was
hugely impressed by the video and
put it on his website and then he had
an amazing idea. What if hundreds
of other people did the same thing?
Suppose he asked people to record
themselves singing the same song and
send the videos to him? Eric could then
put all the voices together to create an
enormous virtual choir!
This thought led Eric on an incredible
journey. After using 185 voices on his
first virtual choir video in 2010, he
became more and more ambitious.
Enjoy singing? Then read on for
something that may interest you!
Ifyou like music, in particular classical
music, you may have heard of Eric
Whitacre. He is a popular composer and
conductor from Nevada, USA, who has
written some wonderful music over the
last twenty years. This music bridges the
gap between traditional classical music
ofcomposers like Mozart or Tchaikovsky
and the popular music that people enjoy
today. However, you may know his name
for a different reason. Eric Whitacre
created the Virtual Choir, whose videos
have been seen on YouTube by more
than six million people.
Choirs have become very popular
in recent years and have even been
featured on reality TV shows, where

opened her mouth to say her next line. And
that is when it happened. Or rather, that is
when nothing happened. Helen's mind had
gone completely blank. She had no idea
what to say or do next.
Later, looking back at the moment, it
seemed to Helen that the world had
stopped. She was filled with panic. For one
millisecond she had been distracted and
she was paying the price. Seconds ticked
away as the silence got longer and Helen's
horror increased. She couldn't breathe. She
was thinking of those eyes watching her
from seats 14 and 15, row H.
Then Bill came to her rescue. He jumped
her next two lines and changed his own
line into a question. This forced Helen to
look back at him. She felt a huge wave of
reliefas the lines came back into her brain.
Somehow, she managed to get through the
rest of the performance without any other
problems. Before she had time to think,
the curtain was moving again - this time
falling to close the play.
Loud applause showed the audience's
appreciation and the cast were given
a standing ovation. Helen smiled and
bowed with the rest ofthem, but she could
feel a small ball of coldness in her heart.
Was this moment in the spotlight worth
the moment of utter fear that she had
experienced earlier? Perhaps her parents
were right after all. Maybe she was just not
the right sort ofperson to be an actor.
Helen could hear the noise ofthe audience
just a short distance away, on other side
of the heavy grey curtain. Normally, she
wouldn't be worried by this - just excited,
but tonight she knew that her parents were
out there, contributing to the noise, sitting
proud and expectant in seats 14 and 15,
row H. Her heart skipped a little faster as
she sat patiently at the table onstage ready
to say her first lines. 'Calm down,' the voice
in her head told her sternly. 'This is not
new. You've done it many times before.'
No, it was not Helen's acting debut. She'd
been taking part in amateur productions
since she first knew what the theatre was!
But whenever her parents came to watch
a performance, she always felt an additional
pressure, as though she had something
to prove. She knew they didn't want her
to go to drama school. And tonight's
performance was very crucial and Helen
could feel the adrenaline.
The waiting was suddenly over. The
audience quietened as the houselights
went down and the curtain lifted. Helen
looked out into the dark auditorium and
spoke her first lines with a smile. There
was an immediate laugh and Helen felt
that excitement that always came when she
connected with an audience. She relaxed
immediately. She glanced at Bill, her fellow
actor, and they exchanged congratulatory
looks. It was going to be a good show. Then
Helen turned back to the audience and
Text 2.
THE LAST CONNECTION
The production of The Last Connection by Karen Smith at the Edinburgh Festival opened to
a full house last week. With luck, the production should continue to sell out for the rest of
the run. It is undoubtedly one ofthe festivals most exciting theatrical events and has already
been rightly nominated for one ofthe top festival awards.
As most well-read theatre-goers will know, the play is a long monologue given by a woman
who is speaking to her husband on the phone for the very last time. We are shown her
complete desperation as she tries to prevent the breakdown of her marriage. The one
sided conversation is very cleverly written. In the hands of Greta Crystal, the audience
is given a magical and moving hour oftheatre. The emptiness ofthe minimal set adds to
the tension ofthe tragedy. This is increased by the simple but tender opening and closing
music - a frighteningly sad song about loss by the Belgian singer Jacques Brel Ne me
quittepas. Crystal clearly feeds on the tension in the auditorium and gives a magnificent
performance. There were few dry eyes in the house when the lights went up.
As far as I know, this is the first time the play has ever been performed at the Edinburgh
Festival and it is definitely worth a visit. But be warned - take plenty oftissues.

A for and against essay
These days at school, students spend quite a lot
of time studying literature, including the works of
classical writers. Some people say this is a good
thing, whereas others believe we should only study
The works of more modern writers. Would taking
classical writers off the school curriculum be a good
dea?
On the one hand, reading literature that was written
a long time ago may seem irrelevant to students today.
~he language is a bit old-fashioned and the problems
dealt with might also seem unimportant. Unfortunately,
"f can be quite boring for students who have to
struggle through these works at school. The danger is
~nat this might put students off reading and studying
terature completely.
However, if we keep classical writers on
~ne curriculum, students can learn a lot of things about
Tie way people lived in those times and also about
what they used to think. Usually, the themes and
stories of classical literature are important for readers
anywhere and anytime, and modern film and television
orogrammes bear this out, showing that stories
:-om long ago can be made interesting for today's
generation.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I believe there
:s still an important place for classical literature in
our schools. In spite of the irrelevancy of some of
Tie issues described in the books and the difficulty of
Tie language, they are still part of our history and we
should all know them. Studying classical literature,
n my opinion, can only enrich us.

I started running when I was about ten years old and,
at the moment, I'm a county junior champion at 100
metres. I've always enjoyed competition. In class, I try
to be top, and even with my friends, I like to have the
latest clothes or the most recent smartphone! So in
sport, all that matters is coming first - which I nearly
always do! If I lose too often, then I'll give up and take
up something new instead. I really admire top sports
professionals - they've beaten everyone to get to that
position.
HOW IMPORTANT IS SPORT
IN YOUR LIFE?
1
When I was younger, I wasn't really into sports at all.
1preferred reading books to running round a track.
However, I've put on a bit of weight recently and I've
been advised to get some exercise. So, I've started
getting up earlier to do some jogging before school
and I've also joined the tennis club in my town.
Surprisingly, I'm really enjoying it!
2
I'm a big fan of football. I have been really passionate
about sport, since I started going to matches with
my dad when I was about five, I've always wanted to
be a professional footballer. In the beginning, I just
wanted to be on the pitch with everyone shouting out
my name, but now I can see all the things that come
with the fame - the cars, the big houses and so on.
You can get all this by doing something you love. I'm
a good striker and I've won a lot of trophies with the
school team. It's hard work and a lot of training, but
I think it will be worth it. I think I could get to the top.
3
I belong to a tennis club and I practise every day.
I enter a lot of competitions and it costs my parents
a lot of money! I love my sport and it's a great way to
keep fit and healthy, but more than that, it's a fantastic
way to make friends. I have some really good mates
from the club and we get together all the time - and
give each other support at our competitions. I've
also got to know people from other towns and clubs
through competitions, which is great. I'd be lost
without tennis.

2 Replace the underlined words with their synonyms in the box.
It is impossible to talk about tennis without thinking of the Williams sisters,
Serena and Venus. They are close in age - only separated by one year - and
close in ability. This has fuelled fierce competition between the siblings
throughout their long careers in professional tennis. Both have held the world
number one position and they have both faced and beaten the other in the
finals of international championships. It takes a lot of determination and
conviction to be able to put a personal relationship aside for the duration of
a match and they get a lot ofrespect for this. Off court, the sisters are friends
and, playing as a team, they have won countless doubles championships
together.
B
Another pair ofbrothers who dominate their sport are the Klitschko brothers,
Vitali and Vladimir, champion heavyweight boxers from Ukraine. These two
giants are not only incredibly strong and successful boxers but they also both
hold doctorates in sports psychology, speak four languages fluently and have
a deep interest in social and political issues. They have a good strong and
supportive relationship and go to each other's fights, but they have never
faced each other in the ring. Nor are they likely to. The brothers promised
their mother never to fight each other and they will probably keep their word.
They are, however, fiercely competitive in other fields and often face each
other over a game of chess.

The triathlon is a tough athletics event, including a long swim, a cycle ride
and finishing with a gruelling run. It is an event in which brothers, Alistair
and Jonny Brownlee from the UK excel, having won gold and silver at the
last summer Olympic Games. Alistair, as always, beat his brother into second
place. In some families, sporting rivalry can create friction and destroy
relationships, but for the Brownlees, being brothers seems to have helped
them push each other to the limits in order to become the very best. They
appear to have a happy, healthy, competitive relationship. They live together,
train together and compete against each other. For the moment, at least, they
seem to accept that Alistair will always be the boss - even in the kitchen!
