SOAP OPERAS
Watching TV is a very popular pastime in the UK. But what kind of programmes do
British people like to watch? Well, the most-watched TV programmes every week are
very popular dramas that are usually on at least four times every week. They are
dramas based in one neighbourhood that try to depict ordinary life in the UK - we call
these dramas ‘soap operas’ or ‘soaps’.
In the early days of TV, there were often dramas on during the day. Back in those days,
it was traditional for the husband to go out to work and for the wife to stay at home and
look after the house and the children. Most of these daytime dramas were aimed at
entertaining the housewives who would traditionally be at home, probably doing the
washing. Companies selling washing powder would advertise their products at times
when these dramas were on, and sometimes those companies would even sponsor the
drama. Hence the word ‘soap’.
So, what about the word opera? Well, that’s because these dramas are often an
exaggeration of real life. They are supposed to represent ordinary lives but, to make
them entertaining, lots of dramatic events, like murders, divorces, affairs etc., all happen
probably much more regularly than they would in a normal neighbourhood.
Most soap operas these days are shown in the evening. Each show will have several
different storylines happening at once that continue over several shows. The same cast
members will appear in every show, too.
There are lots of different soaps on in the UK on different channels but there are three
main popular ones. ‘Coronation Street’ has been on since 1960. It is set in a suburb of
Manchester and it’s supposed to represent working class life in the north of England.
Then there’s ‘Eastenders’ which started in 1985, set in the East End of London, and
‘Emmerdale’, which is set on a farm in Yorkshire, in the north of England.
1. What type of programmes do British people prefer to watch?
A. soap operas B. action film C. reality show D. chat show
2. Why did sponsors advertise soap on TV during the mornings?
A. because the advertising cost was much lower.
B. because these soaps are only used in the mornings.
C. because they could draw the attention of more women.
D. because the law did not allow them to advertise soap after midday.
3. Which of the following is NOT among the most popular soap operas in British
television?
A. Coronation Street B. Eastenders C. Emmerdale D. Manchester
4. Which of the following is TRUE about soap operas these days?
A. Different actors and actresses appear in each of the shows.
B. Most of them are shown in the evening.
C. The same plot is included in each that continues over a number of
shows.
D. The shows are not suitable for viewers under 18.
5. The underlined word “exaggeration” in the 3rd paragraph is closest in
meaning to
A. reflection B. development C. overstatement D. creativity
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
THE LOST WORLD
The Lost World is a sequel to the movie Jurassic Park which was one of the
highest grossing movies ever made. Both movies were directed by Steven Spielberg,
who decided to make another dinosaur movie by popular demand since Jurassic Park
was so successful. Spielberg is well-known for directing and producing crowd-pleasing
blockbusters. One reason for the success of these dinosaur movies is the compelling
idea of a lost world where there are still dinosaurs alive today which is attractive to
modern people.
Visitors to the dinosaur park, located on a small island, think that the place is great
at first. That is until the dinosaurs become upset and there’s a lot of screaming and
running when the prehistoric beasts attack. The difference between The Lost World and
Jurassic Park is that there is more human drama in The Lost World. There are two
different groups in the park who are opposed to each other. One group is a bunch of
hunters who want to steal some of the dinosaurs in order to get a lot of money. The
other group are dinosaur advocates who want to protect the beasts from outsiders.
Unfortunately, the hunters upset the dinosaurs who cannot tell who is trying to help
them, and who is trying to hurt them.
The Lost World has even more dinosaurs, and more special effects than Jurassic
Park. It also has more to the story than just a lot of frightened people running away from
dinosaurs. Though it was expensive to make the movie because of all the special
effects, it made up for the costs to make it the first week it was shown because of its
success.
