WEEKEND ARTS REVIEW: FILMS
A The Class
The Class is about a young teacher who works at a school in a poor area of Paris and his difficult students. The story was originally a book written by Frangois Begaudeau. The film tells the sad story of how a teacher tries to teach his class of teenage students but fails, because the students don’t respect education or teachers, and because they have no desire to learn. Everyone who stars in the film (including Begaudeau, who plays himself) is a non-professional. People expect The Class to be boring because the teacher-student theme has appeared in films many times before, but it isn’t. It is an absolutely brilliant film and no one should miss it.
B Slumdog Millionaire
Director Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal, a poor boy in India, who goes on the TV show ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’. The story was originally a prize-winning novel by Indian author Vikas Swarup. Jamal wins the TV show. But before he does, they take him to a police station because the police think that he is cheating. While the police ask Jamal questions, we see events from Jamal’s life which explain why he knows the answers.
At one point, the creators of Slumdog Millionaire had decided not to show it in film theatres, and just make it into a DVD. Luckily, they changed their minds, because this film is now an international hit!
C American Teen
American Teen is a documentary film by director Nanette Burstein. Burnstein filmed the lives of five teenagers, who go to a school in Indiana, USA. She followed the students filming their everyday lives for a year, because she wanted to show what it is like to be a teenager in America today.
American Teen is an enjoyable documentary, but sometimes it doesn’t feel true to life. In fact, some film critics think that Burstein gave the teens lines to learn. But in interviews, the teenagers have always said that the film is 100% real-life and no one is acting.
Whether real-life or not, American Teen is an entertaining look at young people today.
Which film (A, B, or C) …
24. was not going to play in cinemas at first?
25. does not seem realistic to some people?
26. is interesting even though the plot is not original?
27. is extremely popular all over the world?
28. is about someone trying but not succeeding?
29. was first a very successful book?
30. is about daily life experiences?

Read and translate the text.
Canada comes from Indian word
kanata, meaning “a village” or “a settlement”.
Location.
Canada
is about 7730 km from east to west. Its only neighbour is the USA,
which includes Alaska in the north-west.
This country is surrounded by
three oceans – the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Arctic. It has the
longest coastline in the world 243,000 kilometers. No wonder the
country’s motto is “from sea to sea”.
Lakes.
There
are some two million lakes in Canada, covering about 7, 6 % of the
Canadian landmass. Canada has (or shares with the USA) seven of the
world’s largest lakes – Huron, Great Bear, Superior, Great Slave,
Winnipeg, Erie and Ontario. Nearly one-fourth of all the fresh water
in the world is in Canada.
Rivers.
Canada
contains three of the globe’s longest 20 rivers. The St. Lawrence
(3058 km long) is Canada’s most important river, providing a seaway
for ships from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. The longest
Canadian River is the Mackenzie, which flows 4241 km through the
Northwest Territories.
Niagara Falls is one of the
world’s wonders. These beautiful waterfalls can be found on the
border between Canada and the United States. To the tourists as to
Americans and Canadians, it is at the top of any list of places to
visit. This place is often called «the honeymoon capital of the
world».
Mountain
Ranges.
Canada’s
terrain incorporates a number of mountain ranges: the Torngats,
Appalachians and Lawrentians in the east; the Rocky, Coastal and
Mackenzie ranges in the west; and Mount St. Elias and the Pelly
Mountains in the north.
At 5 959 metres high
Mount Logan in the Yukon is Canada’s tallest peak.
Government.
Canada
is a constitutional monarchy and a federal state with a democratic
parliament. The Parliament of Canada, in Ottawa, consists of the
House of Commons, whose members are elected, and the Senate, whose
members are appointed.
The head of
the political party with the most elected representatives in the
House of Commons becomes the prime minister, the leader of the
country. From the members of parliament within the governing party,
the prime minister selects a cabinet which, in effect, runs the
country and initiates legislation. Unlike in the USA, leaders can run
for a long as they maintain popular support within their party.
Governments are elected for five years, but elections can be called
earlier.
The constitution consists of
both written proclamations under the Constitution Acts (1867 and
1932) and unwritten conventions.
National
Emblem.
The
maple leap has been associated with Canada for some time: in 1868, it
figured in coats of arms granted to Ontario and Quebec; and in both
world wars, it appeared on regimental badges. Since the 1965
introduction of the Canadian flag, the maple leap has become the
country’s most important symbol.
Flag and
Anthem.
Canada’s
current flag was proclaimed in 1965 after 2000 public design entries
were hotly debated in parliament. In the centre of the flag there is
a red sugar maple leap, Canada’s best known symbol. The side bars
represent the ocean boundaries and are not blue because an important
reason for the entire procedure was to show independence from Britain
and France.
The national anthem, “O
Canada”, was composed by Calixa Javallee in 1880.
Currency.
The
Canadian dollar is divided into 100 cents.
Living
Standard.
Canada
ranks sixth place in the world in standard of living, behind only the
United States, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany and Japan.
Language.
English
and French are the two official languages of Canada. You will notice
it both on highway signs, maps, tourist brochures and all types of
packaging. In the west, the use of French is less visible. In Quebec,
English can be at a premium. There, roadside signs and visitor
information is often seen in French only.
Many immigrants use their
mother tongues, as do some groups of Native Indians and Inuit.
C.
Answer the following questions and use them to speak about Canada.
-
What
is the name origin of the word “Canada”? -
How
many provinces and territories does Canada have? -
What
do you know about Canadian flag? Could you describe it? -
What’s
the largest lake in Canada? -
What
percentage of the Canadian population speak French as their first
language? -
What’s
the name of Canada‘s anthem?
E.
Read
the text again and decide whether these statements are true or false.
-
The
national anthem of Canada is “God save the Queen”. -
The
majority of French Canadians live in Quebec, where they make up
about 80 per cent oа
the population. -
Canadian
National Flag is an orange 11-pointed maple leap on a green field. -
The
Canadian Federal Parliament comprises the Queen, the House of
Commons (elected) and the Senate (appointed).
GRAMMAR:
INDIRECT SPEECH/REPORTED SPEECH
-
Change
of tense
When
we report what someone said, the verb forms often move one tense into
the past.
‘I
believe
that what I am
doing
is right’, she said, ‘I will
continue
to fight for justice.’
She
said she believed
that
what she was
doing
was
right, and that she would
continue to
fight for justice.
