Exercise 2. Read the text and answer the questions.
FAKING IT
Faking It is one of the most popular reality TV shows in Britain – and there’s an American show, too. It’s a very simple idea – – somebody has to learn a new job in four weeks. For example, a punk singer leanred how to be a classical musician, and a computer games tester became a racing driver. The programmes are usually very interesting because the people try really hard – so the audience wants them to be successful. They usually pass the test at the end – but not always.
Sian Evans is a young classical musician. Faking It changed her life. She trained to be a DJ for one of the shows. At first she didn’t really like modern music and she didn’t know anything about it. She was also surprised because it was very difficult. But she worked hard and started to like it. She passed the test – in fact, after four weeks she won a DJ competition – and now she enjoys going to clubs and being a DJ in her free time.
Why is it a successul and popular show? I think it’s because it has a great message – you can do anything is you really want to. It’s one of my favourite TV shows – it makes me happy!
Read the statements and answer whether they are true or false. Write T for true and F for false.
1. The show is about music.
2. The contestants learn a new job.
3. A classical musician became a junk singer.
4. The audience want the people in the show to succeed.
5. Sian Evans failed the test.
6. The text is positive.
