Read the following review and study the schematic structure of the text.
Orientation Starring:
Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher,
Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, Gloria Stewart, David Warner,
Victor Garber, Bill Paxton
Director:
James Cameron
Running Time:
189 minutes
Kinds :
Action, Drama, Romance
•I absolutely love ‘Titanic’, and all of the movies will always hold a special
place in my heart. Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) is a somewhat ruthless treasure
hunter searching for profit under the sea in the debris of the wrecked liner
Titanic. In particular, he is searching for a necklace featuring an historic blue
diamond that is rumored to have sunk with the ship. He believes he is on the
right track when his crew retrieves a safe in which he finds a sketch of a
beautiful woman wearing the diamond. The drawing is shown on a TV news
program, and an old lady called Rose Dawson Calvert (Gloria Stewart) comes
forward claiming that she is the woman in the drawing. When questioned by
the treasure hunters, she tells them her story.
Interpretative recount 1 When she joined the Titanic for her maiden voyage Rose DeWitt Bukater
(Kate Winslet), as she was known then, was 17 years old. Her mother
(Frances Fisher) had good breeding but little money, so she was taking Rose
to America to marry rich Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) - a match that Rose would
rather have avoided.
Interpretative recount 1 • Attempting to commit suicide, she was saved by Jack Dawson (Leonardo
DiCaprio), a raffish and charming third-class passenger. Jack and Rose
started to spend time together, ultimately falling in love, in spite of the
disapproval of both her mother and Hockley. Hockley would have done
anything to prevent Jack seeing Rose, and falsely accused him of theft.
However, the historic events that followed were to change everything.
Evaluation 1 Cameron's "Titanic" is justly recognized as something of a masterpiece.
The film cost a phenomenal amount to make, and most of that spending is
visible on screen. Everything about it looks sumptuous, and the effects that
go into the sinking of the ship are grippingly realistic.
Evaluation 2 The romantic thread is appealing enough, but its greater purpose is to
make the effect of the tragedy more personal. Kate Winslet and Leonardo
DiCaprio make a fine job of playing the young couple, although the romance
is occasionally rather overdone and DiCaprio does struggle at times to give
his character as written any real depth
Evaluation 3 Although the film is a personal romance set amidst a greater disaster
story, it is also the story of Rose's life and the effect her experiences have
had on her - and it largely succeeds on all counts.
Evaluative summation Sometimes love must triumph over disaster.
Activity 6.
Read the summary

Activity 7.
Work in group. Label the text with its generic structure.
_____________ I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a
special place in my heart.
____________ I have to stay that of all the books, however, this was not my favourite.
_____________ When the series began it was as much of a “feel good” experience as a huge mug
of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately
satisfying.
_____________ Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works . . .
you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the
end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly
dreary, depressing feel. The galloping face of the other books has slowed to a trot
here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we were reading all about Harry “just
hanging out” instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry
cleaning up an old house, for example – housekeeping is still housekeeping,
magical or no, and I’m not very interested in doing it or reading about other people
doing it.
_____________
A few other changes in this book – the “real” world comes much more into play
rather than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently
been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book,
especially with being a teenager and tall, but the sudden change in his character
seemed too drastic. He goes from being warm-hearted, considerate person to
someone who will bite his best friend’s heads off over nothing. It just seemed like
it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the “angry teen”
overnight.
_____________
The real story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book and this part I loved. I
actually liked the ending ( andyes, I cried!0 as sad as it was. It packed a punch
and it made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with
some editing it would have been great.

they keep their secret identities from each other).

Text 1.
Twister tells the story of tornado chasers trying to test new equipment that will help save lives. The
story of Twister is about Jo Harding (played by Helen Hunt) and her soon-to-ex-husband Bill (played by Bill
Paxton) who goes hunting tornadoes in a race against other twister chasers. Bill has invented a machine that
might help predict tornadoes but he needs to test it. Along the way there is drama between Jo, Bill and Bill’s
new girlfriend and some humorous moments involving the twister-chasing team. I found the special effect used
in the movie to be excellent and the story easy to follow. This is a movie suitable for the whole family and sure to
blow them away
This film is really worth watching.

After rising steadily for almost a century, standards of education in the public schools of Europe and
North America have leveled off and, in the opinion of many parents and employers, are actually falling. More
and more children are leaving school with little more than a basic knowledge of reading, writing, and
arithmetic, and illiteracy is becoming a social problem once again. With dropout rates of twenty-seven per
cent in high schools and fifty per cent in colleges, the American education system is clearly in trouble;
European dropout rates, though lower than those of the U.S., are rising too.
Various factors have been blamed for the apparent decline in educational standards. Some people say
that overcrowding and lack of discipline are major factors. Others maintain that subjects like art and drama
have been overemphasized at the expense of more practical subjects. The negative influence of television is
frequently mentioned as a reason of growing illiteracy. Many teachers and principals, however, insist that the
problem is not of falling standards but of rising expectations on the part of parents and employers.
Whether or not standards in public schools are actually falling, many parents feel that the only way to
secure a good education for their children is to send them to private schools, which generally have smaller
classes and stricter discipline. The popularity of such schools is growing steadily, despite the high tutition
fees. In the United States, for example, eleven per cent of all school children attend private schools; in
France, over sixteen per cent do so.

According to the controversial sunspot theory, great storms on the surface of the sun hurl streams
of solar particles into the atmosphere, causing a shift in the weather on earth.
A typical sunspot consists of a dark central umbra surrounded by a lighter penumbra of light and
dark threads extending out from the center like the spokes of a wheel. Actually the sunspots are cooler
than the rest of the photosphere, which may account for their color. Typically, the temperature in a sunspot
umbra is about 4000 K, whereas the temperature in a penumbra registers 5500 K, and the granules outside
the spot are 6000 K.
Sunspots range in size from tiny granules to complex structures with areas stretching for billions
of square miles. About 5 percent of the spots are large enough so that they can be seen without
instruments; consequently, observations of sunspots have been recorded for several thousand years.
Sunspots have been observed in arrangements of one to more than one hundred spots, but
they tend to occur in pairs. There is also a marked tendency for the two spots of a pair to have opposite
magnetic polarities. Furthermore, the strength of the magnetic field associated with any given sunspot is
closely related to the spot's size.
Although there is no theory that completely explains the nature and function of sunspots, several
models attempt to relate the phenomenon to magnetic fields along the lines of longitude from the north and
south poles of the sun.
41. What is the author's main purpose in the (B) light rays from the sun

sunspots (A) not considered very important
(D) To argue for the existence of magnetic fields (B) widely accepted
in sunspots (C) subject to disagreement
(E) To show the difference between umbra and (D) relatively new
penumbra (E) unbelievable
42. Solar particles are hurled into space by______. 45. In which configuration do sunspots usually
(A) undetermined causes occur?
(B) disturbances of wind (A) In one spot of varying size
(C) small rivers on the surface of the sun (B) In a configuration of two spots
(D) the climate on the earth (C) In arrangements of one hundred or more

Pesticides are routinely used in agriculture to destroy organisms that affect crops and animal food.
Some of these pesticides are dangerous to bird and animal life. Others have long lives in the soil. It is only
recently that the chemical was banned from use in some areas of Australia because of its potential danger

In an attempt to appeal to both the fundamental and personal needs of workers, innovative
management approaches, such as job enrichment and job enlargement, have been adopted in many
organizations. Job enrichment gives workers more authority in making decisions related to planning and
doing their work. A worker might assume responsibility for scheduling work-flow, checking quality of work
produced, or making sure deadlines are met. Job enlargement increases the number of tasks workers
perform by allowing them to rotate positions or by giving them responsibility for doing several jobs. Rather
than assembling just one component of automobile, factory workers might be grouped together and given
responsibility for assembling the entire fuel system.
