English Final Revision Worksheets Paper A

1. December 1941 :Vi Stanley listened to the applause with satisfaction, but the feeling was
bittersweet. She wasn’t on the stage, rather behind it, having written the play her appreciative
actors had enjoyed performing. With war on the horizon, the theater was closing: too many
members of the cast and crew were obligated to take on different responsibilities for it to
continue to operate. Vi left the theater that night and never looked back.
2.May 2018: There was nothing more appealing to Tressa Lazar’s ears than the sound of
thunderous applause. A Broadway star for over a decade, Tressa had come to expect her
audience to rise to their feet when she came onto the stage to take her bow at the end of a
performance. Tonight, that sound was infinitely more important since the show she had been
appearing in was closing. It had been produced for a limited run, and though there was no
surprise at its conclusion, Tressa was still sad to have to say goodbye to the role she had
painstakingly made her own.
3. After goodbyes to the crew, Tressa made her way up the street to have a late dinner with
her co-stars. As they talked, Tressa discovered most of the others already had jobs lined up:
one woman was going to be working on a music video, and another had been cast in a
streaming sci-fi series. When they asked her what she had planned, she avoided giving a
direct answer and said her manager had mentioned something, but they hadn’t had the time
to discuss the details. There was no way Tressa was going to admit that there hadn’t been a
rush of offers from eager producers hoping she would sign contracts.
4. A call to her agent yielded no promising results. It seemed the word on Tressa was that
she was a diva and, though talented, not the easiest to work with. At first, Tressa ranted
about how unfairly she was being treated, but then the anger turned to tears of
disappointment. Her agent told her not to fret. She was working on a few possibilities, but it
might take some time, and Tressa should sit tight and perhaps take a well-deserved vacation.
5. The idea of taking a vacation from the stage made her nervous. Tressa lived on applause;
she loved making an entrance and reveled in being able to hear a pin drop because everyone
was waiting for her to begin. It was a rush like no other, and once she knew her part as if it
were a second skin, Tressa could play it to what critics often called “perfection.” Maybe, in
some ways, that was her problem—she needed her job too much.

6. As if sensing Tressa’s situation, her mother called with news: Tressa’s grandmother had
won the coveted writing award for best one-act play in her senior community and was given
the opportunity to stage her production at a local theater. The only thing missing was
professional advice and hands-on help. At first, Tressa made up an excuse about having
auditions and no time. Her mother could tell by the tone in Tressa’s voice that she was
making up a story of her own and challenged her.
7. “Fine,” Tressa grumbled. “I’ll be there first thing in the morning.” When Tressa arrived at
the senior center, she wondered if she had accidentally stumbled into the wrong room. No
one had even glanced her way when she entered, and it became woefully obvious to Tressa
that no one knew or cared who she was. People were sitting shoulder to shoulder at tables,
passing around scripts and buzzing about how excited they were to be a part of her
grandmother’s production.
8. Tressa was about to leave when her grandmother came in through a side door. The crowd
rose and cheered as if this tiny, older woman had won a Tony, and Tressa immediately felt
guilty for feeling envious. She would need to get back to her world and hear that wonderful
sound again, but in the meantime, she had made a promise to help, and she was going to
keep it.When her grandmother introduced Tressa to the room, she said very simply that her
granddaughter was talented and there to help. Tressa was puzzled—there were no accolades
and no specifics about her body of work. Taking her grandmother’s lead, she kept her list of
credits to herself and made the whole day about the production.
9. The piece was excellent, and Tressa was excited to see where it could go under her
volunteered direction. As Tressa was taking notes, one of the women playing a leading role
casually mentioned that it was no great surprise that Tressa’s grandmother was talented.
After all, the woman had been a writer on Broadway before the war. It was information
Tressa had never heard before and later, when they were having dinner alone, she asked her
grandmother why such an achievement had been kept a secret.
