the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In
English, at least three have been identified and described.
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a
majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such,
these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on
the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a
language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal
situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words
and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal
usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries
but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in
writing.
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard
speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some
cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their
collective memories. Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar
objects and events.
It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for
the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new
objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups;
third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.
Finally, it is worth noting that the terms ''standard", "colloquial”, and "slang” exist only as
abstract levels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language

At 7 pm on a dark, cold November evening, thousands of people are making their way across a
vast car park. They're not here to see a film, or the ballet, or even the circus. They are all here for
what is, bizarrely, a global phenomenon: they are here to see Holiday on Ice. Given that most people
don't seem to be acquainted with anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are extraordinary:
nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday on Ice since it began in 1943; it is the most popular
live entertainment in the world.
But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their
lives travelling round Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can’t be glamorous, and it's

undoubtedly hard work. The backstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace. A
curtained-off section at the back of the arena is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but
is more accurately described as a corridor, with beige, cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set
up along the length of it. Each girl has a small area littered with pots of orange make-up, tubes of
mascara and long false eyelashes.
As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey
and mucky with rows of dirty blue and brown plastic seating and red carpet tiles. It's an
unimpressive picture, but the show itself is an unquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the
lights come from a firm in Texas, the people who make the audio system are in California, but
Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater Robin Cousins is now creative
director for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they’re ready for the show's
next performance.
The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the case start to go through their
routines under Cousins' direction. Cousins says, ‘The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to
exactly the right place on the ice at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling
are set to those places, and if the skaters are all half a metre out they’ll be illuminating empty ice.
Our challenge,’ he continues, ‘is to produce something they can sell in a number of countries at the
same time. My theory is that you take those things that people want to see and you give it to them,
but not in the way they expect to see it. You try to twist it. And you have to find music that is
challenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.’
‘The only place you'll see certain skating moves is an ice show,’ he says, ‘because you’re not
allowed to do them in competition. It’s not in the rules. So the ice show world has things to offer
which the competitive world just doesn't. Cousins knows what he's talking about because he skated
for the show himself when he stopped competing - he was financially unable to retire. He learnt the
hard way that you can’t put on an Olympic performance every night. I'd be thinking, these people
have paid their money, now do your stuff, and I suddenly thought, "I really can't cope. I'm not
enjoying it”.' The solution, he realized, was to give 75 per cent every night, rather than striving for
the sort of twice-a-year excellence which won him medals.
To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class
Olympic skaters, some of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge?
Equally, it’s impossible not to be swept up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not
to enjoy it.
