Tekst 2
by Luke Salkeld
(1) After losing two of his prized paintings, Anton Cataldo decided to make a direct appeal to the public. The 28-year-old artist, who specialises in pet portraits, made posters of his missing paintings and pinned them to half a dozen trees in his local park. He included his phone number and email address as well as the offer of a £100 reward for their safe return. But the only message he received was from a council official who was offended by Mr Cataldo's use of the local flora - and fined him £75. (2) The email said the council had been made aware of the artist's decision to search for his lost property and said: "Some of these posters had been stapled to trees. You appear to have little understanding that trees are living things. Wounding the bark of a tree in any way could lead to the loss of the tree. Whilst we accept that the subject matter of these posters has sentimental value to you, we simply cannot allow every person who loses property to resort to the kind of actions as taken by yourself." (3) Mr Cataldo painted the portraits of his parents' Labradors Oscar and Sam last October and said they have added sentimental value after 17-year-old Sam later died. He then gave the pictures to his parents and he had just borrowed them to take to an interview as part of his portfolio. When he wanted to return them they went missing. He said: "I put the paintings on my car roof while I unlocked the door outside my studio in Brighton but then drove off with them still on the roof. I feel really stupid. They obviously slid off on the way to my parents' house about 20 miles away, but there is no way of knowing where. I did everything I could think of to find them. I put adverts on websites, left flyers in pubs and put up posters. I really had no idea I might be doing anything wrong."
(4) "I found the council email quite patronising. I'm not an expert but I doubt very much that a staple could cause so much damage to a tree that it would actually die." He continued: "I'm a quite considerate person and would never knowingly do
anything to harm a tree. I didn't realise there was a law about putting posters up, as you often see them around."
(5) Mr Cataldo complained to the council about the fine which has since been
cancelled. A council spokesman said that this was probably a case of an officer who was a little bit over-zealous.

School That's Giving Kids the X-factor
(1) It's a cold, wet Monday morning in South London, but unlike many of their contemporaries up and down the country, none of the pupils at the Brit School are gazing out of the window. They're far too wrapped up in what they're doing.
(2) On the ground floor, two woolly-hatted bands are practising for the school concert, while in the dance studio next door, the ballet class is rehearsing an ensemble piece in black leotards.
(3) Upstairs, a group of actors is rehearsing a gritty, modern play about British soldiers, while in the new recording wing, some of the school's composers and songwriters are transferring their music onto computer, with the help of Sibelius (a software program that turns recorded music into a written score).
(4) To the first-time visitor, it's like walking into a Channel 4 drama series about talented young teenagers trying to make it in show business. Everyone's confident, everyone's got opinions, everyone's dressed like they're on their way to a rock gig. (5) In other words, it looks like far too much fun to be school. "But don't be confused by appearances," urges principal Nick Williams. "When you send your child here, you are not consigning him to some kind of unstructured melee," he insists. "Everyone here comes to lessons, everyone turns up on time, and everything we do is designed to instil the kind of rigour and self-discipline that will equip our students for a rapidly changing world."
(6) The big difference, of course, is that instead of studying traditional subjects such as maths, physics and geography, the sixth-formers opt for one of six creative 'strands': dance, music, theatre, media, musical theatre, and art and design. To which, of course, the conventional parental question is: what will that qualify them for? Apart from ending up in their mid-twenties with nothing to fall back on?
(7) It's the sort of worry that the school's principal Williams, himself a traditionally educated grammar school boy, is well used to addressing.
(8) "The first thing I point out is that the creative industries in Britain constitute a section of the economy which is growing, even in a recession," he says. "The other thing I stress is that this is not a fame school. While any institution craves people who go on to achieve success, the main aim of the school is to help young people find lasting employment within the creative industries."
(9) So while a large number of the school's music students harbour notions of achieving the late Amy Winehouse or Leona Lewis-like stardom, at the same time
they learn how to use their skills in less rollercoaster ways, such as composing music for films or video games.
(10) A case in point is 19-year-old singer-songwriter Alice Barnard, who, having got her National Diploma, is now doing a two day a week arts management course at the school. "Music and performing is my thing, but I want to learn about the business from all angles," she says.
(11) Meanwhile, 18-year-old media student Darryl Kidd plans to work in the film industry but wants to work outdoors rather than in the editing room. "After looking at the options, I think being a location scout really appeals to me," he says.
(12) Either way, both he and all the other Brit School pupils will be entering the entertainment world ..12.., and with years not just of training and practice behind them but of access to the latest equipment.
(13) "These are state-of-the-art Apple Macs," says Ken McGill, the school's film and digital arts manager, himself an experienced documentary-maker. The school gets generous contributions from the British Record Industry Trust. McGill adds: "When I started my career, a documentary film crew was 14 people. These days, though, the means of production are available to everyone, and our students will leave here able to make and cut a film in their own front room." Which puts them, at the age of 18, several streets ahead of their university-educated counterparts, who won't be graduating until they're 21.
(14) "Of course, all our pupils are creative talents," says Williams, smiling. "And what we do is to encourage them."
Vraag 7: 1 punt
What is the main aim of paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4?
A They describe the production of a series at Brit School. B They give an impression of a day at Brit School.
C They make clear that at Brit School the latest technology is available. D They promote the new theatrical courses now taught at Brit School. E They sum up the classes taught at Brit School.
Vraag 8: 1 punt
"But don't be confused by appearances" (paragraph 5) Why does principal Nick Williams say this?
A to change the idea many have about the world of show business B to indicate how difficult it is to deal with artistic students
C to point out that the school has strict rules and regulations

A Few pupils at Brit School have the qualities to become managers. B Many pupils at Brit School prefer a film career over a music career. C Most pupils at Brit School will easily find a job after having graduated. D Not all pupils at Brit School aim at a job that will bring them fame.

"Of course, all our pupils are creative talents," says Williams, smiling. (paragraph 14) In welke alinea wordt duidelijk dat directeur Williams zelf niet een dergelijke creatieve opleiding heeft gevolgd?

From Maverick to Role Model
(a maverick: iemand die zijn eigen gang gaat tegen de regels in) Widget Finn
(1) What does a 15-year-old millionaire entrepreneur (= een ondernemer) do as a follow-up? In the case of Dominic McVey, it involved losing some of his fortune, learning some hard lessons, then transforming himself from business maverick to business guru.
(2) Dominic McVey made his millions while at school importing micro-scooters into the UK. He explains: "I got expelled from school because I was too busy running the business to go to classes. But the danger of making a lot of money quickly is that you become too confident. I organised an event which bombed, and lost a lot of money, which was scary, coming from a family where we worked for every penny we
earned."
(3) Enter Simon Tate, managing director of his family's pharmaceutical business, Wallace Manufacturing Chemists. He says: "I saw Dominic in a television series about entrepreneurs four years ago, and was impressed by his talent and
achievements. As a result I contacted him and we agreed to meet."
(4) Dominic McVey takes up the story. "My parents tied up my fortune in trusts so I had to go out and start working. I had lots of ideas, but becoming a millionaire attracts people who gather round like flies, keen to spend your money. But not Simon, that's where he was different; we had a loose arrangement where we brainstormed ideas to find a business opportunity."
(5) Their first project together was a range of breath fresheners. Then they spotted a gap in the beauty and cosmetic area and came up with the business concept that became Kew Health and Beauty. Simon Tate says: "We asked ourselves why there were a lot of companies in the sector who had a brand but no range of products. Our research showed that it was difficult, especially for smaller companies, to cope with all the aspects of formulation, packaging, product design and distribution. We set up Kew to help clients create a range while taking away the hassle. In that way they could concentrate on the main activity of marketing the products."
(6) They then took the concept a step further. Tate adds: "Cosmetics and toiletries is a fast-moving fashion business which needs the constant generation of new ideas. A lot of traditional firms involved in contract manufacturing aren't very good at
innovation. So we created a unique service, actively pitching new product ideas to our clients."
(7) The partners founded Kew Health and Beauty in 2004, putting in £7,500 each. Simon Tate admits it was invaluable to have the backing of his family business. "We benefited from its infrastructure and drew on the back office functions, but I would have started Kew even without that support - and the company is now freestanding financially."
(8) With no track record it was a challenge to get the first customers. "We worked hard at identifying potential companies, and convincing them that we could deliver our promises - in fact we exceeded them. Kew is successful because the concept is right - we can be involved as much or as little as the client wants, right up to offering full support, including mail order facilitation services, handling phone calls,
processing card payments and handling distribution to local or international addresses."
(9) The firm now has about 30 clients. And what does Dominic McVey, appointed a 'Pioneer for Entrepreneurism' by the Queen in 2004 (all he said about it was: "I was pleased for my mum.") bring to the boardroom table?
(10) His fellow director says: "Dominic is in touch with high fashion and the cosmetic industry. We work together well as a team, and his role is to identify trends and new markets."
(11) ..20.. Kew Health and Beauty is run by two entrepreneurs under 30 who are already identified as role models for other young business people, the business cannot but be a success.
Vraag 15: 1 punt
What is made clear about Dominic McVey in paragraphs 1 and 2? A He didn't know what to do once he was a millionaire.
B He experienced at an early age what doing business meant. C He was financially supported by his parents.
D He was successful in all his business undertakings.
Vraag 16: 1 punt
"But not Simon, that's where he was different" (paragraph 4)
What is the main point that Dominic McVey wants to make about Simon? A Simon had a job for him in his business.
B Simon had faith in him, unlike his own parents. C Simon's ideas were very practical.
Vraag 17: 1 punt
"...came up with the business concept..." (alinea 5) en "They then took the concept a step further." (begin alinea 6)
Welke zin in alinea 5 vat samen wat het concept van Kew Health was?
Citeer (= schrijf over uit de tekst) de eerste twee en de laatste twee woorden van de zin.

1 Zonder de geldelijke steun van zijn familie was Simon Tate niet begonnen. 2 Kew Health deed soms zelfs meer voor de klanten dan was beloofd. 3 Kew Health levert maatwerk aan klanten.
4 Dominic McVey werkt ook voor het Engelse Koninklijk Huis.
Vraag 19: 1 punt
What does paragraph 9 make clear about Dominic McVey? A He doesn't really boast about the prize.
B He expects that the prize will change his life. C He really wanted to win the prize.
D He thought he was not good enough to win the prize.

Ball-boy with Grandchildren
Stan Bretner swaps peace for piece of the action at 64 By Paul Newman
Noot in de tekst:
*1 = a famous tennis player
(1) At 61, Stan Bretner sold his computer software development company and moved with his wife from Washington DC to the warmth of Florida, where a peaceful
retirement beckoned. He became a tennis nut, playing for three hours every day, but after a career travelling the world on business he soon decided he wanted more. He wanted to see the big names of tennis close up and to work alongside them, so he applied to be a ball-boy here at the Nasdaq-100 Open, in Florida. He was accepted, took part in all the training programmes and worked at last year's tournament, including the women's final.
(2) Bretner's wife and two children thought he would then settle back into retirement, but at 64 years old he is now a regular figure on the circuit and is back working at the Nasdaq-100 Open for the second year in succession, having also been a ball-boy at Amelia Island, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles and Indian Wells. He pays his own way and loves every moment of it.
(3) "My grandchildren think I'm crazy, but they love to see me on television," he said. "They think it's the coolest thing in the world. The other ball-kids weren't quite sure about me at first. Some of them thought I was a spy or something. Then they saw me doing everything they did and quickly accepted me." The players are often similarly surprised. "Sometimes you can see them thinking: 'He looks like my grandfather.' Guillermo Coria*1 virtually adopted me. He kept telling all the other ball-kids to give the balls to me. And towards the end of a match at Amelia Island, Venus Williams*1 sent a message asking me to hang around because she wanted to have her picture taken with me. Nearly all the players are very polite, despite the pressure they're under, ..25.. very few actually thank you when you give them the balls. Tim Henman*1 is an exception, though. He's a real gentleman.
(4) The most important thing is to be prepared for the individual needs of each player. Some want to be given the balls quickly, others more slowly. Maria Sharapova*1 only takes the balls from the ball person standing in a certain part of the court. Rafael Nadal*1 always has to have two drinks bottles in exactly the same spot. Andre Agassi*1 had to have a towel at each end of the court and he had to be able to see them. He got upset if they were hidden away."
(5) Bretner was turned down by the US Open but will try again this year. He is hoping to work at the Australian Open and has also written to Wimbledon and the French Open. "I've suggested that Wimbledon might like to use a senior visiting guest ball-boy," he said. "If I could get to the Grand Slam tournaments I would die a happy man."
Vraag 22: 1 punt
'he wanted more' (paragraph 1) What more did Stan Bretner want?
He wanted to
A become part of the professional tennis world.
B do something relaxing besides business and travelling. C earn some more money even after he had retired. D see more of the world than he had done.
Vraag 23: 1 punt
What does the word 'then' in the beginning of paragraph 2 refer to? It refers to the period after Stan had
A had a career travelling the world on business. B performed as a ball-boy at a tournament.

Schrijfopdracht
Vraag 29: 12 punten
Inleiding
Je bent vorig jaar in de zomervakantie twee weken met familie in een vakantiepark in Noord-Engeland geweest. Je hebt er een geweldige tijd gehad: 's avonds konden jij en je vrienden lekker uitgaan, want in het park zelf was er altijd wel een optreden van een 'stand-up comedian' of een band. Overdag was er een programma speciaal voor
jongeren van jouw leeftijd, met veel sportactiviteiten en theaterworkshops. Ook gingen jullie elke dag zwemmen in het overdekte zwembad. Helaas was het
zwembad veel te klein, het water te koud en niet altijd schoon. Verder lijkt het je een goed idee als er voor de gezelligheid een restaurantje en een terras bij het zwembad zouden komen. Bij het vertrek kregen jullie een brief van Christine Adams mee (zie tekst 6). Je besluit te reageren, want de volgende vakantie gaan jullie zeker weer terug. Je hoopt op deze manier te bereiken dat ze jouw suggesties zullen uitvoeren. Je schrijft een brief. Datum en adres kun je overslaan. Je eigen adres hoef je ook
niet toe te voegen. Denk wel aan een afsluiting! Begin je brief met de aanhef: Dear
Mrs Adams, ... Opdracht
Schrijf de brief aan Ms Christine Adams en gebruik de informatie uit de inleiding bij het uitwerken van de volgende punten:
- Stel jezelf voor (naam, leeftijd, meisje/jongen, woonplaats en land). - Zeg dat je reageert op de brief die je mee hebt gekregen.
- Schrijf hoe lang je op camping 'Haggerston Castle' bent geweest en - dat je het daar leuk vond.
- Vertel ook wat je daar graag deed (noem twee punten.) - Leg uit waar je kritiek op had (noem twee dingen) en - geef suggesties om het zwembad gezelliger te maken. - Schrijf waar je op hoopt.
- Sluit af met een passende slotzin en afsluiting. Aanwijzingen
Maak een logische alinea-indeling en sla na elke alinea een regel over. Gebruik minstens 100 en niet veel meer dan 140 woorden: de aanhef telt niet mee. Noteer het aantal woorden van de inhoud van de brief aan het eind. Doe het als volgt: Aantal woorden: …
Beoordeling
Bij de beoordeling wordt er niet alleen op gelet of je correct Engels gebruikt hebt, maar ook of je brief een goedlopend geheel is. Verder wordt beoordeeld of je alle (9) elementen van de opdracht hebt uitgevoerd. Je mag ook best zelf iets (zinvols) toevoegen, maar let op het aantal woorden.
Succes! einde
