aren't boys studying languages? Is it because they don't like

talk a lot, not even in their own language? 'It's not a good
situation,' said Ben, 'because we want more people to learn
a modem language '
Mr Bell says secondary schools are already beginning
;to separate boys and girls for science lessons He thinks
it can also be a good idea for schools to do the same t h i i

singleaex claases in modem languages could stop boys

Modern languages are not very popular in British

secondary schools. Not many people are taking a GCSE
in French this year. Recent investigahon shows that there
are problems with language learning in Britain. And those
problems are making a d~fferenceto university language
departments too. There are not many students who want
to study languages, and so some university language
departments now only have 10 or 12 students
Other statistics also confirmed the idea that mostly
rich students are now studying modem languages. The
Independent Schools Council found out that last year 60%
of all the top marks in A-level French came from students
in independent schools.

families aren't studying modern languages.

Adverts turn TV viewers off [

Recently fans of top soaps, dramas and reality shows in
the USA have started to get angry about the number
and frequency of the adverts in the middle of the
' programmes. Sometimes it seems that the adverts are
more important than the programmes themselves.
For example, American dramas aren't as long as they
1 were in the past. Nowadays in the US, an 'hour-long'
drama lasts about 40 minutes (in the 1980s they lasted
48 minutes). The rest is adverts. Or, in other words, for
every two minutes of programme there's one minute of
adverts.
The ABC channel had slightly more adverts than
other channels. But recently they've changed ... and
what they do now is even worse than before! Before.
all their dramas had four sections. But now ABC tells
producers to separate each programme into six sections.
Usually the first section is approldmately ten minutes
long. Then they have the first break. When people
have watched a programme for ten minutes, it's much
less probable that they will stop watching or change
channels. But then, in the next 45 minutes, there are
four more commercial breaks. Each break is about three
and a half minutes long.
AU of this makes it much more difficult for writers
of dramas to write good stories. Quiet scenes make no
impact because there are more and more adverts and
the adverts are longer and longer. 'It's OK for game
shows or more exciting adventure series,' says American
TV producer David E. Kelley. 'But for programmes that
don't depend on violence or melodramatic scenes, it's
more difficult to make a story with six sections than to
make one with four. The only thing you can do is be more
aggressive, either with the music or the visual impact,
just to attract people's attention after the adverts.'

'

3 Are these sentencestrue (T)or false (F)?

1 Today American dramas consist of around 40 minutes

of programme and 20 minutes of adverts.
2 On the ABCchannel dramas now have six parts.
3 After ten minutes, viewers often change channels.
4 lt'sdifticultfor game shows to have frequent breaks.
5 TVdrama writers like having lots of different
sections in a programme.
6 Some shows use exciting music to get people's
attention after the adverts.

..............

..............

..............
..............

..............

4 Match the questions with the answers.

1 Why do drama programmes have more sections
now than before?
2 Why do they wait ten minutes before the first break?
3 Why is it more difficult for dramas than for
game shows?
4 Why do dramas need fast music?

..............
..............

.....
..............

a Because it isn't easy writing a slow, nonviolent story

with a lot of different, short sections.
b Because after the adverts they need to make people
pay attention.
c Because that way there are more adverts.
d Because they know that when people have watched
the start of the programme they continue watching.

How are things? I'm writ~ngabout that new series which

was onTV last night. Did you see it? Isaw the adverts
for it aii week and it looked really cool so Idecided to
watch it. But I was really disappainted!
2 Personally, I don't like soaps but the adverts said
that this one was different. It wasn't! As far as I'm
concerned, it was as boring as every other soap I've
seen.The actors were awful and the story just wasn't
interesting. And another thing - they stopped for adverts
every five or six minutes.
3 In my opinion,television in general is getiing worse and
worse. Ithink the new series aren't as good or original
as the old ones.The only thing Iwatch are old fiims.
But a 90-minute film takes two hours because of all i b e
adverts! Is it just me or is that really annoying?

see her and her sign, they must stop and let the c h i i e n

to the children each morning. The only thing she doesn't like
is that some drivers get angry and shout when they have to

She's unhappy that recently there have been some serious

There's a big difference

between a job at the weekend
in a supermarket and the
type of jobs that these young
people have to do. Working in
asupermarket is an example
of child work. Child work is
an economic activity which
isn't bad for a child's health or
education. But the other is what
we call child labour.That is when
children work in dangerous
conditions. Right now millions of
children are working in mines.
or working with chemicals
and pesticides in agriculture,
or working with dangerous
machines in factories. These

We need a hard-working teenager

money for their work.
...........

Ofthe 218 million children In

child labour around the world,
the majority (69%)work in
agriculture. lbey work in very
high temperatures and they
use dangerous equipment
like knives or machetes Their
working conditions are dirty and
unhealthy They have to work
long hours and so at the end
of the day they are vety tired.
But that's when they have to
be most carefui because, if not,
they can suffer fatal accidents.
And you should also remember
that these children don't usually
receive any medicine or medical
treatment.

1 want to tellyoua story

I don't know why i do what I do. If I did know, I probably wouldn't

feel the need to do it. All I can say is that I have needed to write
stories since my earliest adolescence. It is an unusual way to
spend your life -sitting alone in a room with a pen in your hand,
hour after hour, day after day, year after year, trying to put words
on pieces of paper in order to give birth to what does not exist-except in your own head. Why would anyone want to do such a
thing?The only answer I have ever been able to give is: because
you have to.
This need to make, to create, to invent is essential for humans.
But fiction has no practical use in the real world. A book has never
put food in the stomach ofa hungry child. A book has never
stopped a builet from entering a murder victim's body. A book
has never stopped a bomb from falling on jnn.qscfit people in the
middle of a war.
In other words, an is no use when you compare it, for
example, to the workof a doctor or an engineer But is that a bad
thing? Does that mean that books are just a waste of our time?
Many people thinkso. But i would say that art is what makes us
different from anything else on this planet. it is what defines us as
human beings.
Children love listening to stories.Why? Fairy tales are often
cruel and violent.You would think this would be too frightening
for a young child. But these stories slow children to meet their
own fears - in a perfectlyafeand protected environment.This is
the magic of stories.
For years, in every country ofthe western world, journalists
have written article after article about the fact that fewer and
fewer people are reading books.This may be true, but atthe
same time this has not stopped the universal need forstories.
Films and television and even comic books are creating vast
quantities of narratives, and the public continues to read them
with great ~as$j~t?.That
is because human beings need stories. it
would be impossible to imagine life without them.

ust one ship was responsible for breaking an essential

ubmarine cable that connects the Middle East sad
ndia with the rest of the world via the Internet. This
thehternet.
The accident was caused on Wednesday by a ship:&
bad weather near the coast of Egypt, close toAlexandria
Since then, there have been temble problems with
phones and the Internet in countries including India,
10 Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. It has been a
problem for approximately 70% of users there.
Tens of millions of people have had problems with
phones and the Net. It has also made a big difference
to economies across Asia and the Middle East
15 Governments have started to take direct action. To help
businesses, the Egyptian Communications Ministry has
asked surfers not to connect to the Internet 'People who
download music and films are going to make problems
for businesses who have more important things to do.'
Experts say that this shows that our global
ommunications network is very fragile. 'People don't
now that all these things go through cables under the
ea,'said Alan Mauldin, an expert in communications.
[n general, the Internet uses real, physical connections,
lot satellites.'
People think the Internet always works by satellite.
lut a big p a t of the world needs real, physical
onnections. It was not easy to create these connections.
'he expensive cables go in long lines around the world,
anying millions of conversations all at the same time
rom one country to another.
One expert said that this week's accident should make
ovements understand that they must spend more
[me and energy to protect essential communications
uch as mobile phones and the Net. We must protect
hem from natural disasters or from terrorists. 'It would
e very easy to attack global communications,' said
iustafa Alani, head of security and terrorism at the
iulf Research Centre in Dubai. 'The important thing
m't building great new technology. The important
ling is to protect it.'
One of the cables that was broken this week is
alled the Sea-Me-We 4. It is one of the most important
Ifonnatlon lines between Europe and the East. It
45 goes in a continuous line from Germany to Singapore.
It covers a total of 39,000 kilometres and connects
32 different countries. It took three years and cost an
incrdble E500m to put the line in place.
