Fame and fortune Reading 1 Quickly read the text and choose the most accurate text summary. The text is about: a Acelebrity chef and his advertising campaign for a supermarket b Acelebrity chef who trained a group of young people to be chefs. The lifestyle and personality of some famous chefs. 1 Take fifteen unemployed young people and a celebrity chef, put them together in a kitchen for a year and sit back and watch the drama unfold. Jamie Oliver is the celebrity chef. His idea was ‘to train a team of unemployed kids ‘with an interest in anda passion for food and to open a first class restaurant in London to be run by them,’ 2 Jamie Oliver is a phenomenon in the UK, where his TV series shows him in his trendy apartment, cooking fashionable recipes for his cool friends. He is also seen riding his scooter and going shopping at local markets. He became so famous for his lifestyle that the supermarket chain Sainsbury's offered him a fee of over two million pounds to star in their television adverts. They claim that this has resulted in a 20% increase in their profits. 3 Cooking has always been part of Jamie Oliver's life. His father runs a pub and restaurant in Essex (South-east England), and, while he was growing up, Jamie helped out in the kitchen, where he gained valuable experience before going on to train as a professional chef and work in famous Italian restaurants in London. 4 Jamie Oliver is very rich because of his TV shows and adverts and his successful cookery books. However, he remains in touch with his roots, and his down-to-earth style and cheeky humour have made him popular with people of all ages. He wanted ‘to give a little back and help inspire others’, so he decided to invest in a long-term plan to help disadvantaged young, people to learn about the catering industry. He has also used his influence to raise money for the project. § His restaurant is called Fifteen, reflecting both the address, 15 Westland Place, London, and the number of novices he recruited. They were chosen from 1,000 applicants, and the whole process was filmed for a five-part documentary. It wasn't easy - the restaurant went over budget, and it looked as if the team wouldn’t learn to be chefs in time, Only ten students survived the training, and viewers saw some of the dramatic moments when individual students broke down, didn’t turn up for work, burned food, or when Jamie discussed their progress using his characteristic direct approach. 6 But the restaurant did open and is still in business. All its profits go to a charity called Cheeky Chops, aimed at producing 30 professional chefs a year. Jamie invested £1.3 million in the venture and put his own house at risk to finance it. He wants to set up similar schemes in New York and Sydney. And Jamie's recipe for success? Determination, enthusiasm, passion and a hands-on approach.2 Read the article again and decide whether the statements are true or false 4.

And song writers such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney have written some of the twentieth century’s best verse. So what's the difference between pop songs and poetry? ‘Afew years ago, pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results. People thought that poetry was the new rock ‘n’ roll, However, despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets, poetry and pop music didn’t seem to mix. But are they really so liferent? if you look back atthe origins of poetry, there isa strong connection between poems and popular musi, In Greek mythology, for example, the muse Erato is pictured with a Iyre in her hand, and looks just lke the ancestor of the modem rock stat with his electric guitar. In addition, the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today. But despite their common origins, there are many differences between poetty and pop music, Pop songs are always written for a public performance, whereas poetry often isn't, And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry. This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words. Pop lyrics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing. This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart. 4 Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings. Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a asTelationship, such as falling in love or breaking up. The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in ‘serious’ poetry. However, talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer stars like Robbie Wiliams, often give simple songs more expression when so they perform them, And some of the best lines from pop Iyrics are as beautiful as poetry. 50 although pop music and poetry have many differences, they do have one important thing in common: the power to make us think about how we feel The Daily Express 1.

But for Hazel Rymer, it’s all in a day's work, and she loves her job. 1 Studying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38-year-old 5 volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is, ‘Driving to work is more risky,’ she insists, ‘And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres, I generally just scramble down then seramble back up again,” she adds, trying to make it all to sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk. ‘2. Hazel has been studying voleanoes for a long time, so, it’s not surprising she Is used to the danger. Her interest jn volcanoes began while she was learning Latin at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompel. ‘I 1s remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and tthe destruction of the city,’ she explains. ‘The thought of all those Pompeiians lust frozen in time had quite an effect on me.’ Twenty years later, this fascination is still strong. 'I suppose you sense that volcanoes have this ao dangerous beauty, and that never leaves you,’ she smiles,‘ still get excited when I approach one I haven't encountered before.” 3 Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more ‘unpredictable, There have been many changes in sea as level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. ‘These have resulted In some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more hazardous than ever 2.

Hazel seems unconcerned. ‘I don't take any ‘unnecessary risks and I don’t try to make situations dangerous,’ she says. ‘If things happen, they happen.” However, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Bina in Sicily. While she was taking measurements on the edge Of the lava flow, she was slowly surrounded by lava, I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. ‘T guess it was 50 metres. The flow was 1,000°C, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, Dut it really was a practical decision ~ there wasn’t time to do anything else.’ And what about the future? ‘I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And | would love to spend Some time working in the Antarctic,’ she says. “I would also like to knovr why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.’ In othet words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet, Sainsbury's Th fagazine(Exam training \ ee eereuremeneee Multiplo-choice questions in his task, each question has twee or four possible answer.
