The wrestler who became an author

Pete Watson looks like the biggest, sweetest teddy bear you ever saw. It is only when he opens his mouth that you notice the missing front teeth.

Watson is a three-time world champion wresder turned author. He was adored by fans because he was different while other wresders were supreme athletes, he was just a hulk who knew how to take a hit. You could throw as many chairs as you liked at Pete Wauon, you could smack him repeatedly, but he wouldn't go down.

After two autobiographies and a series of children's stories, he has just written a brilliant first novel: a work of immense power and subtlety, likely to gain a wide readership. At iu simplest, it is about a boy and his dad getting together after a lifetime apart, though there is far more to it than that. Was he inspired by anyone he knewrThe father, he says, is based on guys he met on the road, wrestlers, friends of his, who appeared to be leading exciting lives, but deep down were pretty miserable.

20 Wauon does not come from traditional wrestling stOCk. He grew up in Long Island. New York. His father wac an athletics director with a PhD, his mother a physical education teacher with two master's degrees - one in literature, the other in Russian history. He was a big boy. bullied for his size. One day his neighbour had a go at him, and for the first time Watson realised he could use his weight and size instead of feeling awkward about it. It was a turning point.

At college, he did a degree in communication studies. Meanwhile. he was learning the ropes of professional

wresding. Did his parents try to dissuade him~ 'No. They were just really insistent that I finished college. I am pretty sure they thought I'd get hurt and quit wresding: But he didn't.

He looks in remarkably good condition for someone who spent 20 years in the ring. His skin is smooth and firm; there are few visible scars. ' It's amazing what retirement can do for you. I looked really rough five years ago, and now I think I look a good deal younger,' he says. People are surprised by the softness of his handshake. 'Yeah, that's the wrestler's handshake: he

")".

Do you have to be a good actor to be a good wresderr 'I used to really resent the acting label, but it Is acting. When it's really good, when you're feeling it and letting that real emotion fly. it comes closer to being real.·What did his children think when they saw him getting hurt! 'Well. they used to think I never got hurt because that's what I told them. When they got old enough to realise I did, they stopped enjoying it. That was, in part, what led 50 to my docicion to SQt ou~'

Nowadays, his time is dedicated to family and books -his next novel is about boy wrestlers living on the same block. and he is also writing more children's stories. He does not think this life is so different from wrestling. 'Wrestling is all about characters,' he says. 'So when my fans hear I've written a novel,l don't get the sense that they feel I've abandoned them.'

Eu4tntial tip--s' Read the text first to get the general meaning. Don't worry about individual words that you don't know.

The questions follow the same order 8S the relevant information in the text.

Underline the key words in each question and in the four options.

look in the text for information that supports one of these options, but don't expect to find exactly the same words.

Qu.stion 1: look at option A. II consists of two parts: he frequently lost and he was not aggressive. If an option consists of two parts, it is correct only if both parts are correct. If, for example, Pete frequently lost, but he wasn't aggressive, option A is not the correct answer. Question 3: This is a question about vocabulary. If you don't know the meaning of the words (in this case 'stock'), you can answer the question by looking at the context. The sentences after 'traditional wrestling stock' are about his parents' professions. What is the correct option? Question 4: An option is correct only if you can find clear suppon for it in the text. For instance, option C claims that Pete's parents wanted him to stop wrestling. Can you find suppon for that in the text? For which of the four options can you find auppon in the text?

What impression do we get of Pete Watson's ski ll s as a wrestler? A He frequently lost because he was not very aggressive. B He was too gentle and friendly to be a good wrestler. C He was injured a lot because he didn't fight back. o His speciality was letting his opponent hit him.

2 It is suggested that Watson's first novel A is based on his own autobiography. B will be popular with those who liked his autobiographies. C will not only appeal to his fans. D is not much more than a simple story.

3 What does 'traditional wrestling stock' in l ine 20 refer to? A Watson's childhood B Watson's family background C Watson's educational background D Watson's background in athletics

4 What did Watson's parents feel about his interest in wrestling? A They were afraid he would get hurt. B They insisted that he should have proper training at college. C They wanted him to give up wrestling. D They thought he would abandon the sport quite soon.

5 Watson seems to be in good condition now A although he has retired. B in spite of being a wrestler for so long. C because he stopped wrestling five years ago. D and he finds this fact amazing.

6 How does Watson regard the idea that wrestling is like acting? A He resents the suggestion. B He thinks wrestlers aren't good actors. C He has come to accept it. o He doesn't think wrestling can compare to acting.

7 What does 'That' in line SO refer to? A the fact that Watson's children got older B the fact that Watson often got hurt C the fact that Watson's ch ildren no longer enjoyed watching him

perform o the fact that Watson could not tell his child ren the truth

8 Watson's present life is not so different from his past profession because A his work is still connected with characters. B he is writing about w restling, his previous profession. C his family are still more important than anything else. o his fans still follow his career with interest.

is rather grandly called 'interactive entertainment' makes -

twice as much money as Hollywood cinema. Which of course • leaves people in the film business wondering if they can harvest any of this new income. Is there any way of making _

films more appealing to people who play videogames?

• Making a film out of a best·selling videogame can certainly

guarantee a large audience. 191 ! New videogames -have stunning action sequences that rely on fantasy effects,

and now films are being released with simila~ scenes. Gravity •

is discarded as heroes leap across huge gaps, while slow- •

Why do game players feel disappointed by films based on

their favourite games? 1121 1 Videogames can show the action from a number of perspectives easily, because

everything is computer generated. But filming a sequence from twenty different cameras would cost a fortune, so It

simply isn't done in the film version - leaving the game

players feeling that the film didn't look as reat as the

videogame.

Cameras matter in another sense, too. In 0 film the director

shows you the action from certain perspectives but makes

sure he doesn't show you some things to keep you in

suspense. Think of your favourite thriller. l u i l in films you are not supposed to. have access to alt the

information. Suspense and mystery are essential elements

of film-making.

·1141 I When you playa game. you have to do ce~tain tasks to proceed to the ne:Jlt lev~1.. Therefore, you mlfst be aOle to see ever'ftnlng In oraer to maKe your cnolCes, 10 decide what to do next: which door to open, and ,so on. You

must have access to all the information. You, as the pl{lyer,

are always in control. In the cinema you never control the action. You just sit and watch.

There can be some interaction between films and

videogaQ1es on a number of different I ~vels , but in the, end

they fulfil different needs. 1151 I For all the similarities between technoloRies and soecial effects. we

shouldn't forget that a story·and a game are fundamentally

different.

A This clearly creates a new market opportunity for the videogame industry.

B We go to the cinema to let someone else tell us a story, knowing we can't influence what happens at all.

C You wouldn't be interested in watching the film if you knew the identity of the murderer, for instance.

o This is not true for videogames.

E Its success lies in the use of special effects.

F Thi s usually means that the film has a good chance of being as commercially successfu l as the videogame on which it is ba sed.

G One reason is technical.

H However, the difficulty for the producers of Hollywood appears to be knowing where and when to stop.

Iss.ntial tips, look at the text to see what it is about. Even without the missing sentences, you can understand the general meaning.

Read the text before and after each gap. Try to guess what the missing information is.

A Chip off the Old Block How much are children influenced in their choice of profession by their parents' jobs7 We asked four young people about their experience.

A Graham Button I suppose most people are influenced in one way or another by the jobs their parents do. My dad is a freelance builder, like his father and his grandfather, and that means he was often out working in the evenings or at weekends when I was a child. I grew up thinking hard physical work was what fathers usually did. I think he was proud of doing a 'real' job, something with his hands, which is perhaps why he always tried to push me into taking up the same profession. And of course he had his own business, which he wanted to continue after he retired. when I was in high school. I decided that I really didn't want to go into the family business, so al the moment I'm studying History al university. My father probably thinks I'm going to become a partner in his firm after I graduate, so t do worry that we might have a big fight aboUI this some time in the futu re.

B Sue Smith My mother's a nudear physicist, which sounds very exciting. The truth is it's a pretty tough profession. For years my mother wasn't getting paid very well at the institute where she worked. That's one of the things that discouraged me from going into the same sort of work. And I just don't think it's .. very intcIc5ting job.

Of course it sounds very important, but as far as I can see, you spend most of the day at a desk doing hundreds of calculations, and then checking and rechecking them. My mother did try 10 motivate me to take an interest in science subjects when I was about 14 or IS, and I think she'd be secretly pleased if J wanted to be a scientist, but she's never put any sort of pressure on me. But I know she also thinks - as I do -that there aren't so many jobs available in pure research, which is what she does.

C Barry Porter When people find out my mother's an actress. they always ask what Hollywood films she's been in, and I have to explain that she's only ever worked in provincial theatres. She's hardly ever been on television. which is why not many people know her. That's one of the problems with the theatre: very few people get to the top of the profession, and you have to be extremely lucky just to make a living from it. Actors are nervous, highly­

strung people, worrying about where the next job's comi n g from. Even if I had any talent for acting, I'd be

put off by that side of it. Most of the other actors I've met. people working with my mother, strike me as very arrogant people; I don't really think I'd get on with them. As. you can gather, I really don't think my future is in the thealre, and in any case my mother has always tried 10

steer me away from taking up the professIon.

D Ruth Lawrence My father teaches Maths at high school. which definitely used to come in handy when we had a Maths test the next day! I suppose there werc disadvantages, too. I think in the back of his mind he expected me to be good at Maths because he was always there to explain it. The truth is I've ..t ...... 1" huon 1",,,itole .. 1 ll,.:: " .. toj'::\.I. l ie .. l"v ... .:>C\lIV .cUm.::

about the satisfaction you can get from teaching, and I do think he's right about that. He'd talk about the long holidays and the short working day. trying to get me interested in taking a teaching qualification. I used to think I wanted to be a teacher, but then I began to think of the disadvantages. The profession'S changed and these days teachers have to work a lot in the holidays and prepare a lot at home. In the end I decided to go into accounting, and I don't really think my dad'S job affected my aeClSlOn at all.

Essentiol tip.-$ ~ You must use between two

and five words in the gap. Contractions (didn't, we're, it's, etc.) count as two words.

Check that you have used all the information from the first sentence, and that you haven't added any more information.

Make sure you don't change the word given in any way.

Decide on what structure you need to use (passive voice, indirect speech, etc.) by looking at what comes before and after the gap.

Remember to check your spelling carefully.

0uHti0n 38: What verb is used with 'better' to mean 'should'? After it do we use the infinitive with or without 'to' ? Must this be positive or negative?

QuestIon 40: Here you need to use the passive. Your prompt word Is 'been'. What tense do you need? 0uHti0n 42: 'Unless' means 'if not', so what change do you need to make to one of the verbs in this conditional sentence?

For questions 35-42, complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given. Do not change the word given. You must use between two and five words, including the word given. Here is an example {OJ.

Example: o I' ll be very happy when I go on holiday.

FORWARD

l am ..... ... .. .... ............... . on holiday.

The gap can be filled by the words ' looking forward to going' so you write:

I 0 I LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING

You are going to read an article about life in the countryside. For questions 1-8, choose the answer lA, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.

Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet.

I CAME TO ENVY THE COUNTRY MICE

I have been living in London for more than 60 years, but still, when I'm driving and take some clever back­

street short cut, I catch myself thinking: how extraordinary that it is me doing this! For a moment the town mouse I have become is being seen by the country mouse I used to be. And although, given a new start, I would again become a town mouse, when I visit relations in the country, I envy them.

Recently. I stood beside a freshwater lake in Norfolk, made by diverting a small river. near where my brother lives. As he was identifying some of the birds we could see. in came seven swans.They circled, then the haunting sound of their wing beats gave way to silence as they glided down for splashdown.

It is not a 'picturesque' part of the coast, but it has a definite character of line and light and colour. 'You do live in a lovely place: I said to my brother. and he answered. 'Yes, I do.' There are probably few days when he does not pause to recognise its loveliness as he works with his boats - he teaches sailing - or goes about his many other occupations.

The lake's creator is a local landowner, continUing a tradition whereby the nawre of our cOlJnt .. y.~inf' n::o~

been determined by those who own the land. Formerly, landowners would almost certainly have made such changes for their own benefit, but this time it was done to help preserve the wildlife here. which is available for any visitor to see, providing they do nothing to disturb

29 the birds. It is evidence of change: country life is changing fast.

One of the biggest changes I have witnessed is that second-homers. together with commuters. have come to be accepted as a vital pa~ of the country scene.

FeE Test 2 ~ ~ PAPER 1 Reading ~ ~ part 1

And the men and women wno service thei .. cars. dig their gardens. install their phones. repair their word processors. lay their carpets and do all the other things they need are vital to modern country life.

It is quite likely that the children of today's workers may be moving into the same kind of jobs as the second­homers and the retired. Both the children of a country

woman I know are at university. and she herself. now that they have left home, is working towards a university degree. One of the delights of country life today, it seems. is that there you can see how fast social mobility 44

is increasing.

Much depends, of course, on the part of the c;ounlrpiuc you are living in and on personality - your own and that of your neighbours. In my brother's Norfolk village, social life seems dizzying to a Londoner. In addition to dropping in on neighbours. people throw and attend parties far more often than we do. My brother's wife Mary and her friends fly off on the most dashing bargain breaks in Krakow or Prague or Venice. and are always going into Norwich for a concert or to King's Lynn for an exhibition. The boring country life that people from cities talk about is a thing of the past - or perhaps it was ::otw-:.y~ m::oinly in fl. .. i .. min .... ~

This is very unlike living in a London street for 50 years and only knowing the names of four other residents. In these 50 years I have made only one real friend among them. I do enjoy my life, and Mary says that she sometimes envies it (the grass on the other side of the fence ... ); but whenever I go to Norfolk. I end up feeling that the lives of country mice are more admirable than my own.

EsSQldiCJ.1 t ips After reading the text for general understanding, read each question and see if you can locate the answer in the text. When you locate the answer in the text, underline it. Some questions refer to specific lines in the text (Question 6), while others refer to specific paragraphs (Question 8).

look carefully at the key words in the four options. For example, in question 1, option A. the key words are 'driving through back streets' and 'source of surprise', This option can only be correct if the writer does drive through back streets and is surprised to find herself doing this.

Question 2: The text refers to the 'sound' of the swans landing. Does it say that the sound was very loud, in which case 'deafening' would be the correct answer? How is 'haunting' used here7 Ouestion 5: The question asks you what Is 'suggested' about outsiders. This means the answer is not clearly stated in the text. You need to 'read between the lines' and see what is implied in the text. Question B: The answer to this question can be found in the whole of the last paragraph.

It is sometimes a source of surprise to the writer A to find herself driving through back streets. B that she has been in the city for so long. e to realise how much she has got used to living in london. o that she lives in the city when she prefers the country.

2 The atmosphere created by the writer when she describes the swans is A magical. B frightening. e deafening. o distu rbing .

3 What does the writer's brother think of hi s village? A He thinks it is very picturesque. B He prefers the sea to the land. e He finds it dult and boring. o He is often struck by the beauty of the countryside.

4 What does 'It ' in line 29 refer to? A the lake

B the fact that the lake belongs to a landowner here e the reason for the landO\IYner's action

o the fact that wildlife now needs to be preserved

5 What is suggested about outsiders who now live in the country? A that country people no longer reject them B that they often do work l ike servicing cars and digging gardens e that the men and women who work for them are from the city o that many of them have been in the countryside for a long time

6 What does 'social mobility' in line 44 mean? A Country people are going to university. B Young people are moving away from the countryside. e Children of country people are taking jobs in cities. o People from workers' families are moving into higher social classes.

7 Social life in the country A depends completely on where you live. B is not as boring as people in cities think it is. C is not affected by your neighbours. o is always less exciting than life in the city.

8 What do we learn about the writer's attitude to london? A She can't adjust to living in london. B She has regretted moving to london. e The people in her street are unusually unfriendly. o life there is very different to country life.

PAPER 5 Speaking Mark you r answers on the separate answer sheet.

COMPUTER GENERATED POP STAR Young music fans might soon find themselves buying records by

a new star called CyberGirl. CyberGirl is blonde and very

attractive. She has the looks of a supermodel, and Fashion

magazine has booked her for their next issue. She has a great

voice and looks like a typical pop star in many ways, but at the

same time she is fundamentally different. She IS computer

generated and doesn' t really exist. Or does she?

The company behind CyberGirl, Anfield Promotions, has

constructed a website for her, and is working on a pop video for

her first single. which will be released next summer. Why is the

response to this virtual pop star so astonishing? CyberGirl has

been successfully promoted as an ordinary sixteen-year-old

teenage singer . I , 1 1 Teenagers, especially girls, have

identified themselves with CyberGirl who dyes her hair and

worries about fashion.

Over the last few months. the CyberGirl website has been

visited by over 100.000 teenagers. Fans can email questions

and receive answers from CyberGirl herself. 1101 1 This

gives virtual pop stars a competit ive advantage over mass­

marketed artists or boy bands who have very little contact with

their fans.

CyberGirl may not be real, but her creators deny that she is

merely a cheap alternative to a real singer 1111 1

'She's cool and will never do embarrassing things: he says.

'Virtual pop stars cannot disagree with their managers because

they have different ideas about songs. styles and marketing

policies. With computer generated pop stars. there will be no

arguments between stars, managers and their companiea:

the people you see on that screen aren' t real - it' s just a trick

A French male cyberstar, Cy-l ui. has enjoyed considerable

success. with hundreds of emails each day from teenage girls.

marriage proposals. 'Fans will treat artificial pop stars as real

pop stars provided they like their music: says Tomlinson. ' It's

encouraging that if fans like the music, they will ignore the fact

that the artist is not real .'

Sarah Underwood. Professor of Media Studies at Cumbria

University. says we have nothing to worry about. ' It's just like the

soap opera obsession that has been around for about 60

years: she says. 'Viewers identify so closely with the characters

in a soap opera that if one of them is in hospital, an incredible

number of people send flowers and chocolates to the TV

studios. LI104.:.11 ___ -'1 The same applies to fans of artificial

artists.'

Rob Cooper of the pop music magazine Musical World has no

time for this latest idea: ' It's iust another way for business

people to make money from teena~ers, and this time the

teenagers aren't even idol ising a real person. 1151 1

Young people can be really crazy if they're convinced something

is fashionable.'

A Could CyberGiri ever go on tour?

B Research has establ ished that idols must have the same strengths and weaknesses as their fans.

C Th e people w ho do that aren't crazy - they' re just getting a bit ca rr ied away.

o The fans want to know whether he gets hungry in outer space, and what hi s favourite cyberfood is.

E In fact, Tommy Tomlinson o f Anfie ld Promotions is convinced that CyberGiri

has a great many advantages over flesh-and-blood acts.

F The important question is wheth er or not CyberGirl has been modelled on a rea l-life person or whether she is simply the product of someone's

imagination.

G It's utterly pathetic, sad and a bit ridicu lo us, but I' m afraid it will probably

work.

H When asked if she is real, CyberGiri replies enigmatically that she is as real as any of the teen groups around these days, adding defiant ly that at least

she is always there for her fans.

Raad the main text from which paragraphs have been gapped to get the general idea.

Question 9: The sentence before the gap tells us how CyberG iri has been promoted. The sentence after the gap says that teenage girls Identify with CyberGirl. Which sentence option links the two ideas? l ook carefully at the sentences before and after the gap.

Are there any words that show you what the missing sentence is about?

There are many ways you can link pans of a text. It could be a contrast. a comparison, an example, etc. l ook for linking expressions that connect ideas in a text.

Pay special attention to nouns, pronouns, words like 'this' and 'that ' and any other words or phrases that refer to what has gone before or what comes after them.

Ountion 13: The sentellCe before the gap talks about a male cyberstar. Two sentence options refer to males, but only one can refer to the male cyberstar.

Question 14: The sentence before the gap describes how some viewers react to characters in soap operas. The sentence option that fits this gap refers to these people's reactions and links with the sentence after the cap.

ENVtRONf1ENTAL AWARENESS DAV A Plumpton High School This school decided to amlnge a variety of activities, some aimed at achieving a better understanding of environmental problems. and others designed to be of practical help. For instance, the school magazine brought out a special edition on the subject. full of articles and stories where pupils expressed their feelings about the threats facing our environment. In another attempt to find out for themselves how serious these threats realty are, the pupils decided to study the problem of pollution by making a survey. run by the Science Deparunent, into air pollution in the local shopping centre. On the practical side. the school held a sponsored walk and handed over £750 to the World Wildlife Fund. Pupils prepared a campaign to ban cars from the city centre and reduce traffic congestion. They cycled through the city and handed out brochures about the benefits of cycling and walking. This gained a lot of publicity for the school.

B Cresswell College The staff and swdents at Cresswell College held a meeting and discussed a number of suggestions. The most popular suggestion turned out to be the most pl<lctical ont=; il w~ decided that the local environment should be brightened up. Teams were sent out to plant flowers and young trees on areas of land in the neighbourhood. Within the school, the senior swdents prepared a report monitoring the progress of species threatened with extinction. It was hoped that this would help publicise the problem. As part of that project. a leading expert on wild birds was invited to come and give a talk about the dangers faced by these creatures. He explained the importance of the food chain and asked people to support local wildlife reserves .

.-. -

C Smithson Institute This school had already been involved in some projeCts connected with the environment. though naturally efforts were increased for Environmental Awareness Day. For the last two

years the school had been studying the effects of changes in climatic patterns around the world and how these can affect wildlife. A film about those magnificent marine mammals, whales, was shown to the whole SChool 'U part of

EnvironmenQI Awareness Day. which was received with great enthusiasm by pupils. Meredtth Summers, architect, was invited to talk about how pollutlon can destrOy historic buildings in the region. Following that. pupils decided to launch a campaign for the restoration of the medieval square in the city centre and ilSked local authorities to support them financially.

o H a lliwe ll Comprehe nsive The pupils at this inner-city comprehensive school felt that the ben W<rf to mark Environmental Awareness Day would be to help people in the area understand how important the environment is to them. One suggestion that was greeted with enthusiasm was to measure the levels of noise in Stanley Road, a busy local shopping street. The information was then placed on a website that the school had started.

Essential tips If you are listening for numbers or dates, you may not hear the number or date you want, but you will hear some information that will tell you the answer. For eKample, you may hear: 'My birthday is not in March. It's a month later: In this case the birthday is in April, but you don't actually hear the word 'April '.

Look carefully at questions that have two parts. In Question 7 , for eKample, you must listen for a road which is blocked, and it must be blocked by a crash. If a road is blocked, but not by a crash, this is not the correct answer.

Question 3: Be careful. The speaker does not say the date, but gives information about it ('two years later).

auestkm 5: The teKl has references to both options A and B. Which of the two is the correct answer? Question 7: What other words could you hear instead of 'crash' that have the same meaning?

You will hear people talking in eight d ifferent situations. For questions 1-8, choose the best answer (A, 8 or C).
