TOEFL Reading Test
Robert Capa
1. Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with
war photography.
2. Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ern, Capa was forced to
leave his native country after his involvement in anti government protests.
Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, but after his arrival in Berlin
had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and moved to
France due to the rise in Nazism. He tried to find work as a freelance
journalist and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly
because he thought it would sound more American.
3. In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain
and it was here over the next three years that he built his reputation as a
war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most
famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capas most famous
quotes was 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.'

Projele UFMS
And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme. His
photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as
Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have
questioned the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged.
4. When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back
in Europe covering the war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work
was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on
Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa, armed only with
two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of
the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film
destroyed all but eight frames. It was the images from these frames
however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning
movie Saving Private Ryan. When Life magazine published the
photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa
later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war.
5. Capas private life was no less dramatic. He was friend to many of
Hollywoods directors, actors and actresses. In 1943 he fell in love with the
wife of actor John Austin. His affair with her lasted until the end of the war
and became the subject of his war memoirs. He was at one time lover to
actress Ingrid Bergman. Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he
refused to settle in Hollywood and went off to Turkey.
6. In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded
Magnum Photos. This was a co-operative organisation set up to support
photographers and help them to retain ownership of the copyright to their
work.
7. Capa went on to document many other wars. He never attempted to
glamorise war though, but to record the horror. He once said, "The desire of
any war photographer is to be put out of business."
8. Capa died as he had lived. After promising not to photograph any more
wars, he accepted an assignment to go to Indochina to cover the first
Indochina war. On May 25th 1954 Capa was accompanying a French
regiment when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance
and stepped on a land mine. He was taken to a nearby hospital, still
clutching his camera, but was pronounced dead on arrival. He left behind
him a testament to the horrors of war and a standard for photojournalism
that few others have been able to reach.
9. Capas legacy has lived on though and in 1966 his brother Cornell
founded the International Fund for Concerned Photography in his honor.
There is also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which is given to the photographer
who publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence of
exceptional courage. But perhaps his greatest legacy of all are the haunting
images of the human struggles that he captured.

How I got my dream job

Are you still looking for your dream job? Dont give up. Heres how three people
achieved their goals.
Mario Mendes, 29
Im doing something I really enjoy. Im part of a team that develops new technologies. I
work with intelligent, interesting people and occasionally get to travel abroad. I wont
pretend it was easy getting my dream job, but it was worth the effort. My advice?
Decide exactly what your dream job is and what it involves. Learn about the job. Make
contact with companies that could offer your chosen career. Make sure they know your
strengths. You may just get that dream job.
Andy Collins, 46
As a student, I earned $295 a week in cash working in a beach caf. At the time, it
was my dream job! Later I became a chef. It was hard work, I was often in a hot
kitchen for twelve hours a day, six days a week. But you have to know the meaning of
hard work if you want to achieve your goals. I now own five restaurants around the
U.S. My best advice is to find out what your skills and talents are. Talent is something
youre born with. Skills are something youve learned to do. People like doing things
that come naturally to them, so work and enjoy!
Sarah Cooper, 38
Id been working as a secretary for three years when I decided to change my career.
My work was often boring and always busy. I started studying to become a teacher. It
certainly wasnt easy; I continued working full-time to pay for my training at night
school. I was exhausted most of the time, but after two years, I finally got my
qualifications and resigned. Im now a primary school teacher and its as good as I
