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.

Exercise 1. Read the text and answer the questions.

Making a TV serial

It usually takes five days to make one episode of a TV serial. In that time, the actors must learn their words, the director must plan every move of the ators and the crew, and then they must record the episode on video.

First, the actors read the script to themselves. Then they come together and read the script aloud with the director. They call this a “table reading” because they all sit round a table.

The hard work begins on the second day. The actors and the director work through the episode again and again. The director helps the actors to do it better each time.

The actors and the director work together for another day. The director also starts to think about how the actors should move and how the cameras should record each scene (A scene = a part of an episode).

The fourth day is a big day for the crew. While the actors go through the episode again, the crew work out what they must do in each scene. There are usually about forty people in the crew, so this is important: everybody must know what to do, where and when.

On the last day, the actors and the crew pratise and prepare together for the last time before the recording. Then the cameras and microphones start recording. Each part of the episode is recorded more than once, so the director can choose the best recordings later. The recording usually takes about four hours. But if there are problems, everyone works all night.

Before the actors go home after the recording, the director gives them the script for the nest episode.
