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 its not
European. Its 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 grandfathers childhood.
His grandfather obviously doesnt 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 doesnt like is collecting the fallen leaves from the trees.
Alexs dad picks him up after the class to take him home. Im 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.

One day, while I was studying in my bedroom

for an exam, I heard a strange noise, like a cow
mooing. I didnt pay any attention at first
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 dont
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 didnt know what I
was talking about. The volume on the TV was
so loud that he couldnt 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 mums 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 wont, because
the college is in another town and if I go and study there I wont 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 its
the one that I personally dont want. I need a change and if I stay at school I think Ill 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, Ill be very grateful!
d On the 30th of June I have to make a decision and thats not long as now were in April. Im 16 and
finishing my last year of compulsory secondary school this year and Im not sure what to do next. I
have to choose between three options. The first choice is to stay at school for two more years and

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 cant stop thinking about her. I cant concentrate on my studies and in a
German test yesterday my mind was blank and I couldnt remember anything! I dont know why, and
I failed it! What can I do? Im worried that Ill fail all my exams because all that I do is think about her.
If I could stop thinking about her, Id be OK.
Love, Keith
Dear Keith,
First of all, I think its great that you met such a lovely girl! Shes very beautiful in the photos you sent
me. You should be glad to know her and you shouldnt be stressed. I know youre unhappy because
shes far away but you should be positive. Shes not in Australia! You could ask your parents for a
plane ticket to Spain for your birthday. And you shouldnt be embarrassed about it. If you explained
how you felt to them, Im sure theyd understand. And you shouldnt worry about your exams. If you
were more relaxed, Im confident that youd pass them. And remember that Im very happy for you!

is what happened.
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 didnt 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
stopped. I sat down again and the tic, tic, tic

started again. Then I thought it was amusing,
even intriguing. Like a mystery.
Ive 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 couldnt 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 havent returned yet.

FAME AND FORTUNE

a Anonymous Annie.
b A Changed Woman.
c What Ann Used to Be Like.
Ann Clarke is 27 and happily married with two
young children. She looks like a very normal
person, who probably had a very normal past.
Dont 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 were
married and living in London, where nobody
knows who we are, which is wonderful!

DISASTER IN GALICIA
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.

definitely wouldnt be voting for them again.
b Last Saturday a demonstration marched to Parliament to protest about the governments 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 didnt 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. There were also thousands of individuals, all with their own personal worries
and protests against the government, such as unemployment and drug abuse.

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
publishers 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 wasnt 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.

Dorian tries to kill the man in the portrait, but
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY
kills himself in the process.
BY OSCAR WILDE
Teachers Notes
> About Oscar Wilde
> Summary
Published in 1891, The Picture of Dorian Gray
is Oscar Wildes only novel. An immediate and
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
arts 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 artist once more and, after he has shown

him the evil-looking portrait, Dorian kills him
in a fit of hatred. Dorian tries to carry on with
his immoral life. But he is tormented by
feelings of guilt and decides that the only way
he can make up for what he has done is to
his love affairs with men a secret and between

1892 and 1895 his plays made him the most
successful and popular writer in Britain. He
loved mixing with the aristocracy yet his works
made fun of the English upper classes and, in a
subtle way, criticised the cruel morality of his
time.
When Oscar was found guilty of having a

rejects. Dorian thinks that he can escape from
sexual relationship with a man, nearly all his

friends dropped him, his plays and books were
withdrawn and his possessions were sold to pay
his creditors. He came out of prison a broken
man and spent the final years of his life in
poverty, unable to write and forced to live in
exile.

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
aware that there is an undercurrent of sexuality

in many of the relationships. 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 mans
soul is more valuable than anything he could
moral fable. It is full of Oscar Wildes unique

wit and humour. The dialogue sparkles with
numerous examples of Wildes 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.
possibly gain in the material world. In Oscar

Wildes version, Lord Henry represents the
devil figure and Dorian Gray is Faust. The
portrait symbolises Dorians soul or personal
morality. Lord Henry tempts Dorian to indulge
in an immoral lifestyle, carelessly disregarding
Wildes 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 Students 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 46
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 78
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 510 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 910
Put this sentence on the board: Corruption is a
thing that writes itself across a mans 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 13
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 1113
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?
> Activities after reading the book

Students discuss this question in small groups:
What is the lesson of The Picture of Dorian
Gray? Is there a lesson for people today in it?
> Glossary

> About John Grisham

John Grisham is one of the most popular
American authors writing today. There are over
Thrillers are books which often contain a lot of
60 million copies of his books worldwide. All of

his books have been bestsellers. They are often
called courtroom thrillers as they have a legal
background. Since 1991, he has written one
book a year. Six books, including The Client,
have been made into films. His most recent
physical violence, suspense, crime, gunplay,

escape and chase scenes and The Client is no
exception. It is an exciting story and students
will want to keep on turning the pages to see
what will happen.
However, as well as being simply a good
read, The Client also contains some serious

issues which Grisham was clearly familiar with
story who is too busy to see Mark because he is

making lots of money from his injury cases.
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 Grishams 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 Foltriggs 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

Winston wakes up in prison. OBrien visits

him, and Winston realises that he has been

> 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.
OBrien, 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
Francos Fascist rebellion. He wrote about his
him about the Brotherhood, an antigovernmental organisation led by Emmanuel

Goldstein. OBrien invites Winston and Julia to
become members and to join in a larger fight
against Big Brother. But when Julia and
Winston are reading Goldsteins book in their
experiences and his hope for the future of

Spanish socialism in Homage to Catalonia
(1938).
Orwell worked as a reporter during the
Second World War (1939-45). In 1943 he
started writing Animal Farm, his celebrated
political satire about the communist regime in

Russia. He wrote his other world-famous
of historical documentation. An un-documented

event ceases to exist in the present. Only by
masterpiece, 1984 in 1948-49 and died only a

year later.
1984 was written shortly after the end of the

Second World War, when many European
countries were establishing new political
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
Goldsteins 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. Orwells 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.

to Room 101 because he must love Big
Brother. On the floor there is a big metal
box full of rats the worst thing in the

narrow end of the tube over Winstons face
and Winston can see the first rat. So
