Reading

You are going to read a magazine article about John Prince, a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer. Seven sentences have been removed from the article on the left. Choose the most suitable sentence from the list A-H for each part (1-7) of the article. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

Career success in the arts

А	В
After that it's back to England to start a new term of dance classes. Правильно:3	1. John Prince, famous dancer and choreographer, gives advice on how to succeed in a career in the arts. I asked John how he got started and what requirements there are. "Well, to be a professional dancer it's useful to have had acting lessons or some background in drama. If you want to succeed in musical theatre you have to have a good singing voice as well. When you approach an agent you should take a portfolio with your CV, your statistics sheet and some good photos and reviews of past performances. You'll need dance clothes, ballet shoes, tap shoes, and even roller skates depending on what kind of show you are going to go for."
When it comes to coping with stress, I find that exercise helps me to cope with my problems, so I stay in good shape mentally as well. Правильно:2	2. "Of course, you need to be extremely fit if you want to be a professional dancer. I dance or move about for about six hours a day. There are great health benefits to being a dancer. I can eat a lot of pasta without gaining weight because dancing increases your metabolism so much."
Like any profession where you're always travelling, you tend to acquire something new almost every day. Правильно:5	3. John has a very busy schedule in the next few months. He took time out to speak to me today from the making of a pop video to promote N-ergy's latest record. "I choreographed the dance routine for the boys and they only had 2 days in which to learn it! I am going to be working on a video for another well known band - but that's top secret. Next month I'll be touring Spain in a production of a musical that was written by a friend of mine, Michaela Evans.
Being fully equipped with all this stuff beforehand makes it easier when you go for auditions. Правильно:1	4. As for the future, I've come to realise that I would never be content to be just a chorus dancer - I'm too much of an individual for that. Like all artists I'd love to become a household name by writing and choreographing my own musicals." John was born in Jamaica to a Jamaican father and a Scottish mother but the family emigrated to England 20 years ago. "I have a little sister I adore, who is also training to be a dancer." How does it feel to have someone else following in your footsteps?
And if nothing you like comes out of it, then come back and be an actor or dancer. Правильно:6	5. Has he much more to learn, I wondered. "I've spent an incredible amount of my life training to get where I am. I went to college for two years in England, I trained for six months in Paris and about eight months in America. But you never really stop training or learning your art."
It's fine, but I try not to give out too much advice as it gets irritating! Правильно:4	6. So, would you say it's been plain sailing? "I feel I've been lucky to a degree; many people hit problems breaking into the arts. It can be a vicious circle really. You can't become a member of Equity, which is the actors' and dancers' union, without good contracts and you can't get good contracts without being a member of Equity. My advice to people who want to get into the arts would be to go out into the world, and try everything else first.

Put the parts of the essay in the right order

A. However, there are people who travel to `all inclusive` hotels and for them travelling means only entertainment.
B. Nevertheless, I think that travel broadens their minds regardless of their expectations because while travelling they are exposed to things which they would probably never experience if they stayed at home.
C. People travel the globe to see modern cities and ancient towns or just to enjoy picturesque places. Although many teenagers view travelling as entertainment, I believe it has the ability to educate.
D. In my opinion, travel helps us understand the world so that we can accept other people’s ideas and beliefs. First of all, traveling gives us an opportunity to explore the country and to learn about its history.
E. They suppose that going on excursions and visiting museums is waste of time so they just relax and have fun.
F. Modern life is impossible without travelling.
G. Moreover, when they travel, they practice foreign languages and make new friends
H. Additionally, it is a good chance to try national food and to take part in national festivals, where you can learn about local customs and traditions.
I. Finally, travelling is the best way to study nature, for example, when you go hiking in the mountains.
J. In conclusion, I believe that travel may truly expand people’s outlook only if they travel in order to gain new experiences. On the contrary, if tourists are lazy, the influence will be insignificant. So I am convinced that travel broadens the minds but only those that want to be broadened.
