One expert, the author Guy Finley, has identified four
stages that we need to go through before we can make
a really successful and lasting fresh start. The first of
these is to really believe it is possible. We must think
positively and also be aware of what might prevent us
from succeeding. Many people think it is impossible
and give up before they even start.
E
PL
1 After making a fresh start, old problems
usually disappear.
2 Some people don’t believe they can make
a fresh start.
3 Some people don’t make a fresh start
because they like being unhappy.
4 A real fresh start has to be planned
carefully.
5 Some people can be frightened of making
a real fresh start.
6 The best way to find out about celebrities
who have made a real fresh start is
to look for information on the Internet.
7 Johnny Depp had always wanted
to live in France.
8 Johnny Depp’s fresh start has affected
his personality and emotions.
IT
According to the article:
Many of us are unhappy with our lives in some
way. Perhaps we don’t like something about
our appearance or we would like to alter our
personality in some way. Some people feel so
strongly about the necessity for change that they
try to make a fresh start and completely change
their situation and lifestyle. However, many of these
‘fresh starts’ are unsuccessful. Despite everything,
people don’t really change and they soon face the
same problems as before. So, is it possible to make
a real, fresh start and, if so, how can we do it?
The second stage is to really want to make a fresh
start. A lot of people think they do but, in the end,
they decide that it would involve too many changes.
They know they are unhappy but feel this is better
than entering a new and unknown world, even if they
might be happier there.
The third point is rather surprising. Guy says that you
can’t plan to make a fresh start. Anything you want to
happen and try to make happen is a product of your
own personality and experience. In other words, it is
a product of your past. To make a fresh start, you need
to leave the past behind. So, making a fresh start isn’t
about going on a diet, ending a relationship or setting
other goals. It’s much more than that. You need to
notice opportunities in life and take them. This is the
third stage.
So, you’ve felt positively about the idea and believed it
could actually happen, you really want to make a fresh
start and leave your past behind and you are looking
for new opportunities. What is the last stage? Perhaps
less surprisingly, this is being willing to take risks.
Some people may think that they have no control over
their life if they don’t make any plans for the future.
Many people are too timid and afraid of real, lasting
change because there is no way of knowing what will
happen in the future. As Guy says, if you really do
follow this process, you don’t just get a fresh start but
you get a life which is always fresh.

So, can we see an example of a real fresh start to see
how it works in practice? If you type in ‘celebrities +
fresh start’ on the Internet, you’ll see stories of people
changing their names, moving house, apologising
to their husbands and wives for the terrible things
they’ve done or heading for the nearest gym. As we
have seen, none of these things are real fresh starts.
U
N
c If I move to France I won’t know
anyone and things might go wrong
but I’m going to do it anyway.
A better example is Johnny Depp. From a teenage
recluse to an angry young man, Johnny Depp didn’t
seem truly happy despite the fame he had. He
got married at the age of twenty and, after getting
divorced, he had several relationships with actresses
and models, always hopeful that each would be
the ‘real thing’ but always becoming disillusioned.
He was arrested twice, once for damaging a hotel
room and once, in 1999, for fighting with paparazzi
photographers. The same year, he started a new
relationship with the French actress and singer
Vanessa Paradis. The changes that have happened
since were not planned. He moved to France to
be with her and not because it was a place he had
always wanted to live. Now, though, he prefers the
simple life in France to the bright lights of Hollywood
and he spends his free time growing grapes and
producing wine. Although still a great actor and parttime musician, and still a non-conformist despite
enormous success, he really did make a fresh start and
is happier and more relaxed as a result.
d If I take this job, I’ll earn a lot
but I won’t have time to cook
healthy food or see my friends.
e This year I’m going to save
£50 a month and get more
exercise.
4 Read the definitions and find these words in the text.
1 The way a person lives, including the place
they live in, the kind of job they do and the
activities they enjoy.
2 The opposite of short-lived or temporary.
3 Not having courage or confidence.
4 Someone who chooses to live alone and does
not like seeing or talking to other people.
5 Disappointed because you have lost your
belief that someone is good or that an idea is
right.
6 Someone who challenges the way of thinking
or behaving accepted by most other people in
their society or group.
So, if you really want to make a fresh start, it is
possible. Anyone can do it if they really try. The only
thing stopping them is their own fear of change.

Another activity you can take
part in is Operation Spy. It is
a one hour Hollywood style
game in which you have to
carry out tasks and solve
puzzles. This, though, takes
place in a different part of the
museum and you have to pay
an additional fee. It’s worth
paying the $14 for a ticket
because several of the directors
of the museum are ex-CIA
members and have used their
knowledge and experience to
create realistic spying problems
to solve.
SA
M
So what do these exhibits
include? Everything from
invisible ink to hidden cameras
and recording equipment.
Some of the devices are really
imaginative. It’s not surprising
to discover that many of them
were designed for the CIA by
people in Hollywood.
U
N
That does mean, unfortunately,
that you have to pay an
entrance fee, unlike in the
public museums. However,
when you consider that the
museum cost $40 million
to build, the $18 it costs to
buy a ticket doesn’t seem
over-expensive.
As well as looking at famous
codes, there is a chance for
visitors to try to break some
codes of their own. This
is one of the best things
about the museum. It isn’t
just a collection of historical
objects. It also offers a lot of
opportunities to practise your
own spying skills and to play
games and enjoy yourself at
the same time.

PL
Do you want a different
kind of museum experience?
Are you interested in spies
and secret agents? If so, the
International Spy Museum
might be a good place to
visit.
3
Other famous spies have
included a group of women,
known as the Sisterhood of
Spies, who started during the
American Civil War. There was
also a famous pigeon in World
War 1 which carried a tiny
hidden camera and flew over
the enemy soldiers so that the
Americans could see where
they were and how many of
them there were.
6
Is this criticism justified?
Perhaps it is but the museum’s
website and advertising
information make it quite clear
about what you can expect.
There are some other museums
you can visit to see the other
side of the issue. However,
it’s probably fair to say that
most people will enjoy the
International Spy Museum
much more.

A More recently, there were famous codes such as
the Enigma Code, which helped in the fight against
the Germans in World War 2. You can also see the
intelligence that could have helped the Americans to
stop the attacks on Pearl Harbour by the Japanese – if
only someone had noticed it.

B In fact, this fun starts as you enter the museum. You are
given a ‘spy profile’ and have five minutes to memorise
as many details as possible. As you wander around the
museum, museum guards may act as police officers and
question you about your identity.
SA
M
C It is situated in Washington DC, just opposite the
Smithsonian American Art Gallery and the National
Portrait Gallery. The nearest metro station is Gallery
Place-Chinatown, just a few metres away. One thing
which is different about the museum is that, unlike most
of the other museums, it is privately owned.
D These include spy planes and satellites as well as newer
forms of spying. You can learn about cyber attacks on
government computers and electronic theft. There is
also information about how governments are defending
themselves against such threats.
E However, this has also led to some criticism of the
museum. Some people feel that, although the museum
is very interesting and fun, it does make the life of spies
seem a little too romantic at times and fails to look at
the negative impact that spying can have on people’s
lives.
F This isn’t the only link with the film industry. In another
section you can learn about a number of Hollywood
actors and directors who spied for the government.
The most famous spy of all was probably Elvis Presley,
although he worked for the FBI rather than the CIA.
G What do you get for this money? Well, there are a total
of about 600 items from Ancient Greece to the 21st
century. These include spying equipment from the
American Civil War, the American Revolution and, of
course, the Cold War between America and the Soviet
Union.

WRITING | A book review
C One of the things I 8 like / liked best about
the book, and all Tom Robbins’ books, apart
from the wonderful stories, is the incredibly
beautiful description he uses. A grey hair in
Alobar’s beard is described a being ‘as white
as the snow that a swan has ﬂown over’. He
brings characters to life and can make the
most unbelievable ideas seem totally real.
The idea of a thousand-year-old man talking
to an ancient Greek God in 17th-century Paris
doesn’t seem strange at all. My only criticism
of the book centres on the modern day
stories which are funny but not as magical.
I 9 ﬁnd / found myself reading these sections
more quickly to get back to Alobar and
Kudra’s travels.
D All in all, though, if you’re a fan of fantasy
books, you’ll love this. And, if you’re not, I
would still recommend it because it is also an
adventure story, a comedy, a historical novel
and a romance as well and it has one of the
most heartwarming endings ever written.

How can war be humorous? Well, if
you read the novel, The Good Soldier
Svejk, you will find that, despite the
1
of war, this book is
very funny. It centres around a
soldier, Svejk, who is sent to fight in
the First World War. In a way, it is a
2
novel as it describes
life in Prague at the time of the First
World War. However, the character
of Svejk is made up and is one of
the best comic characters in
literature. He survives by pretending
to be stupid but everything he says
and does somehow manages to
3
his officers and keep
him away from the fighting. The book
is also 4
for some
brilliantly drawn pictures. Josef Lada,
the book’s 5
, was a
good friend of the author, Jaroslav
Hasek and his simple cartoons are
perfect. There has been some
6
of the writing. Some
people say that parts of it were
written carelessly and quickly but this
cannot spoil such a 7
plot. My 8
is to buy
yourself a copy and read it in private
or you may upset other people with
your uncontrollable laughter.

– the death of the newspaper?
2
Sales of newspapers are falling! Perhaps that’s not surprising
when you can read the same paper for free on the Internet
but another reason is that more people are now reading
news blogs – like this one! 1
a few of these
are conspiracy theory sites and 2
of the
news they report is untrue or wildly inaccurate. They’re
giving the rest of us a bad name.
However, a growing 3
of such sites are now
being acclaimed for breaking stories which the mainstream
media don’t know about or are too scared to publish. Well,
we’re not scared of 4
!
5
The vast
of journalists criticise news blogs
but I’m sure there are 6
few who don’t read
them and even ‘steal’ a 7
stories from time
to time. So successful are they that now, normal papers are
copying the format. If you look at The Guardian website, for
example, you’ll notice that many 8
the articles
are written in the form of blogs which readers can respond
to. And 9
a few do so, agreeing or
disagreeing with the writer and sharing their own views. In
fact, more and more of them are arguing with other
comment writers while the journalist’s original article
becomes forgotten. Will there be a time, soon, when there
are 10
journalists at all?

Did You Know?
The highest number of nominations any film has had for Oscars without
winning any is eleven. Both The Colour Purple and The Turning Point (1977)
were nominated for eleven different Oscars and failed to win even one.

And the winner isn’t…
There are some films that everyone agrees are classics. They earn millions at the box office, win awards and
regularly appear in ‘Top 100 films of all time’ lists. However, while some have been well rewarded, others seem to
miss out for no good reason. Let’s look at some of these films and try to discover why their brilliance didn’t lead
to (as much) success (as they deserved).
PL

Where else can we start but with Citizen Kane, said by many to be the best film ever made.
The film was released in 1941 and was nominated for nine Oscars. In the end, it won just one,
for best writing (original screenplay). Perhaps it was just too far ahead of its time. Its camerawork
and lighting were incredibly innovative for the period. The story was also unusual at the time
with its use of flashbacks to earlier events using different people’s points of view so that the
audience never really knew what was fact and what were the characters’ unreliable memories.
The soundtrack also helped to give the film its dark emotions and moods. However, the
character of Kane was based on one of the most powerful newspaper owners in the country,
William Randolph Hearst. Even though it wasn’t a true story, the film had some problems.
Newspapers refused to place adverts for the film on their pages and many cinemas were so
worried of Hearst’s influence that they refused to show the film at all. Although it got good
reviews, the film failed to make a profit and many people in Hollywood were glad that it didn’t
win many Oscars as they feared what would happen to them if they angered Hearst by voting
for the film.
SA
M
Another film that you often see near the top of ‘the best films ever made’ lists is The Shawshank Redemption. This 1994
film starred Tim Robbins as an innocent man jailed for murder. Again the film wasn’t particularly successful at the box office
and, despite seven Oscar nominations, it won nothing at all. People’s opinions of the film took time to change. The
American Film Institute made a list of the hundred best films in 1999 and the film didn’t appear anywhere. When a new list
was made, it had made it to number 72 above Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction which had also been released in 1994 with
much greater success. In 2011, BBC Radio 1, a radio station aimed at teenagers and young adults, asked listeners to vote
for their favourite ever film and The Shawshank Redemption came first.
Comedies don’t often win Best Film Oscars so it was no surprise that Ghostbusters wasn’t nominated for any of the main
awards. However, the film was a huge commercial success and was, in fact, the most successful comedy film of the 1980s.
It still is incredibly popular and became the first ever film to be released on a USB flashdrive. It received two nominations.
The first was, unsurprisingly, visual effects. Unfortunately, the second Indiana Jones film, The Temple of Doom, was also
released that year and won the Oscar. Ghostbusters’ second nomination was for the best original song: ‘Ghostbusters’
was a hit single all over the world but was beaten by the far less memorable ‘I Just Called To Say I Love You’ from the
romantic comedy, Woman in Red.
Our final choice is not actually a film at all but a director. One of Hollywood’s greatest ever
directors was Alfred Hitchcock, who directed over fifty films and was nominated for the Best
Director Oscar no fewer than five times. He was the first director to use the camera as a
character’s eyes, showing what the character was looking at and moving around as if inside
the character’s head. He was also an expert at editing to give his films the fast pace that made
them so exciting. However, each time he was nominated he was beaten and didn’t get an
Oscar until 1967 when he received one for his overall achievements as a film maker, not for one
individual film.
So, what about films that have won an Oscar but shouldn’t have? We’ll tell you about those
soon.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I read your interview with the man from Hollywood
about how the film industry is worried about the
future and blaming new technology. I’d like to reply
to him.
Begin / Firstly, watching a film on a computer or
even a large television at home will never be as good
an experience as seeing a film at the cinema. Not all
cinemas are modern and comfortable but, on the
1
whole / general, they are enjoyable places to spend
the evening. 2 Furthermore / Nevertheless, when a
film is worth seeing, the audiences are still big. Take
Avatar, for 3 addition / instance, which was much
more special at the cinema than at home. 4 However
/ Despite, it is true, a lot of films aren’t successful.
Perhaps the film industry should be blaming
themselves rather than others. 5 General / Generally
speaking, Hollywood has come to mean badly made
and unimaginative. By and 6 whole / large, film
makers seem to see something that works, for
example a teen comedy like American Pie or a
romantic comedy like Pretty Woman and then make
the same film over and over again hoping that the
audience won’t notice.
In 7 addition / moreover, the prices charged by
cinemas is far too high. 8 While / But the seats are
more comfortable and the buildings more modern
than in the past, ticket prices are ridiculous. In the
9
same / similarly way, food and drink is terribly
overpriced.
10
Inevitably / Personally, people are forced to reduce
the number of times they go to the cinema but they
still want to watch films. They 11 therefore / so spend
money on a giant television and feel they should
make the most of that, reducing their cinema visits
still further.
In my 12 opinion / presumably, I feel that film makers
should increase the quality of the films they make
and reduce the cost of going to the cinema. I’m sure
more people would then return to the cinema and we
could all enjoy a new ‘golden age’ of Hollywood.

Last week, Malcolm Davies wrote an article called The Death of the Print Media in which he said that
printed newspapers and magazines will soon disappear because of the Internet and mobile phone
technology. Here are some of your reactions to his article.

AFTER THE SHOW
As the actors finished the show, the audience
showed their apprec¡at¡on by standing
and cheering. Lionel smiled at the 1
applause but, inside, he felt sad and old. When he
got back to his dressing room, he looked at his
2
in the corner; two suitcases
full of clothes and an 3
ring
that Sally had returned to him. They had had a
4
love affair but it was all
5
now since she had met the
handsome young actor, Derek. Lionel looked at
his 6
in the mirror. The makeup could hide the wrinkles on stage but not close
up. He looked tired, his hair was getting thinner.
U
N
IT
Suddenly, the door opened. ‘Can’t I even get a
little 7
in my own room?’ he
shouted without looking round. ‘Sorry’ came a
small, nervous voice. He looked up and saw a
beautiful girl holding a tray. ‘I brought you some
8
’ she said. ‘Mineral water and
fruit. Is that alright?’
Lionel felt the years falling away. He smiled
warmly. ‘The food and drink are perfect’ he said
‘but the 9
could be better. Why
don’t we go somewhere more pleasant.’ As he
picked up his coat, all thoughts of Sally and Derek
were forgotten.

E
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not very good
at making speeches. In fact the very
thought of making one today makes my
1
run cold so I’ll keep this as
short as possible.
I’d like to thank all the 2
who
helped to make the film and, of course,
the director who gave me this chance. I
had lost all 3
in film making
after my last film got such bad reviews
and I wasn’t planning on making any
more. Then, I just 4
to bump
into Michael at a party and he told me of
his ideas. They sounded 5
good and I was 6
by the part
of Nathan. As a result, I agreed to appear
in the film and now, here I am, holding an
Oscar. I’m not sure I really deserve it. It
was Michael’s 7
that made the
film what it is and, in my opinion, it is
a8
that he didn’t win an
Oscar for Best Director. So, Michael, this
isn’t for me, it’s for you.
