A beauty contest is a competition based mainly, though not always entirely, on the physical
beauty of its contestants. But it does involve of their personalities, and the questions they answer and
how they answer them. Almost invariably, competitions for men and women are separate events, and
those for men are not referred to as beauty contests. Beauty contests for women are more common, and
winners are called beauty queens. Beauty contests for men, like Mr. Universe, are more likely to be
“body building” contests. However, in the 1990s, male “beauty contests” began to shift focus. Instead
of only considering muscle mass, the competitions began to judge the natural physical attributes of the
contestants as well as their physique. These include Mr World and Manhunt International.

My best friend, Jenny, appeared on a TV quiz show a few nights ago. It was very exciting. We all knew
that she would be on, so all our friends met at her parents’ house to watch it. Her parents videoed it too, of
course. The programme started at half past seven. We screamed and clapped when we saw Jenny. She was
great. She had had her hair done, and was wearing the new top she had bought the day before. She sat in
the chair in the middle of the studio while the presenter asked her some questions. The questions got
harder and harder as they increased in value. If she didn’t make any mistakes and get the most difficult
question right, she would win a million pounds. By this time, Jerry had won a thousand pounds. That was
definitely hers, whatever happened. She answered the next question correctly, which was worth five
thousand pounds. I didn’t know the answer, but she did know! Then with the next question, she took a risk
but got the answer wrong. She was gone out of the game. Still, she had her thousand pounds, and we were
very proud of her.
*Answer the questions.
1. What is the name of the writer’s best friend?
