READING

You are going to read a teenager’s account of an interview she did for her school magazine. Seven
sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits
each gap (9-15). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
My First Interview for The School Magazine

My school publishes a magazine once a month which is written by the students. It’s run by a group
of volunteers who contribute and collect articles. I volunteered to help last year.
When the editor contacted me with an idea for an article, my initial reaction was annoyance. I’d been
ill for a week, and I’d fallen behind on schoolwork, debate team assignments and college application
essays. 9) _______________
F . My first thought was, ‘Oh great, another thing to deal with!’

When I discovered, however, that the thing was an invitation to interview the journalist Nicholas
Kristof, my irritation vanished completely. What an opportunity! I’d always been an enthusiastic
reader of his articles in The New York Times. 10) __________.
B I fascinated by his humanitarian
and journalistic career, and I was very much looking forward to meeting him and writing an article
about him for the school magazine.

Although I am a native New Yorker, I’d never been to the New York Times building. I found the
modern design attractive, and also discovered that the cafeteria served excellent food. 11)
_______________
A . Even though I know a single computer could hold all that information and more,
seeing them was a reminder of the incredible volume of information and analysis that goes into
writing newspaper articles.

I’d spent a few hours preparing with my classmate Eliza, who’d also been invited to take part in the
interview. We’d discussed what questions to ask Nicholas Kristof and I’d written them on separate
pieces of card. Although I felt ready, it was still a relief to be sharing the interview with Eliza. 12)
_______________
D . As it turned out, I shouldn’t have been so nervous.

When Nicholas Kristof welcomed us into his office, he was charming, and throughout the meeting
he seemed genuinely interested in talking to us. He didn’t hurry us and gave us the chance to ask
all our questions. 13) _______________
C . As it progressed, things got better and it felt less like a
volley of questions and answers and more like a normal conversation.

The interview was filmed and it was interesting for me to learn exactly how this was done. When we
arrived, we were told that we would have to do the interview twice. The first time the cameraman
filmed Nicholas Kristof only. 14) _______________
E . We weren’t able to see the final result that day
but Nicholas Kristof has promised to send the film to us when it’s finished.

By the end of the day, I’d learned a lot about interviewing people. 15) _______________
G . In
particular, I’ll have to try and make the conversation seem more natural. But, overall, it was an
incredible experience, and I’m very grateful to the school magazine for having given me such an
amazing opportunity - despite how long it took me to respond to their initial phone call.

A. Not only was he a very friendly person, but also the idea of having a partner helped calm the
butterflies in my stomach.
B. I honestly enjoyed every moment and his responses about these particular issues really made
me laugh.
C. Admittedly, I’m going to have to work on some aspects of my interview skills.
D. My excitement was mixed with anxiety, though, especially after I went online and read up on
his extraordinary achievements.
E. I realised later it would have been better if I’d spent less time reading directly from the material
I’d prepared, but fortunately the interview wasn’t a complete disaster.
F. Then, I’d turned on my cell phone and there was a message waiting for me.
G. Afterwards, when we asked our questions again, he just focused on the two of us.
H. But my favourite aspect was the sheer number of books piled and shelved around the different
offices.
