2 make-up or whatever. Like, on day one we kicked off with hairspray – you know keeping it off the face and stuff – and later in the week got to apply eyeliner and use make-up to get people’s skin looking older or younger. And we had formal lessons too. A history teacher from another school did one about stage make-up through the ages, then our chemistry teacher came and told everyone about what’s really in shampoos and stuff – I mean that was brilliant. Then one afternoon a maths teacher came – I can’t remember the exact subject, but it was something relevant. Doing the course has helped me to see whether I’d want to do make-up as a career – or maybe something related. I’d like to work for a cosmetics company one day. I mean it could be in the research department, but I’m not that good at sciences, and given that my dad’s in marketing I guess that’s the department I’d rather end up in – but who knows? Whatever happens, I think this hands-on experience is really useful. And, of course, I was there with my twin brother, Steve, but this isn’t the first course like this he’d done. The college also does courses in drama, set design and other stuff related to entertainment. Steve did one in costume design, but didn’t have the patience for it – but at least he had the chance to find that out. But I think he does have an interest in make-up. I remember when we were five, we locked ourselves in the bathroom with my mum’s make-up bag. We wanted to do a bit of face painting and Steve used her lipstick. Fortunately it was a cheap one. She had some really expensive face cream and eye make-up in that bag, but luckily he never spotted it! Anyway, we made a real mess and it went down in family history – so they were all reliving the memory when we were doing this course! Steve thinks the hands-on stuff is great. He found learning how to make fake cuts with blood really cool apparently. But the classes are good too. We both learnt a lot from the one on lighting. It’s surprising how closely that’s linked to make-up in all types of entertainment actually, but especially on stage. And Steve might be headed for a career in make-up. There’s plenty of opportunities actually. People immediately think of theatre work or the film industry when you talk about make-up, but he’d be more interested in going into fashion. Make-up’s big business there too – both for live shows and photographic work. And we’ve both already got work-experience placements lined up for when we leave school. We were pretty lucky. We wrote off to all the local theatres of course – not thinking we stood much chance – but also to a local advertising agency. And it’s them that’s taking us both on. They make videos for the local television station and the Internet and stuff. So it should be really interesting. We’re both really looking forward to it … Part II. (10 points) Questions 11 and 12:
3 Choose TWO letters, A-E. Which TWO things does Alice say about the Dolphin Conservation Trust? A. Children make up most of the membership. B. It's the country's largest conservation organisation. C. It helps finance campaigns for changes in fishing practices. D. It employs several dolphin experts full-time. E. Volunteers help in various ways. TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: Today we’re pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust. Tell us about the Trust, Alice. Alice: Well, obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world. It tries to raise people’s awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats. It started ten years ago and it’s one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country — although it’s still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection. We are particularly proud of the work we do in education — last year we visited a huge number of schools in different parts of the country, going round to talk to children and young people aged from five to eighteen. In fact, about thirty-five per cent of our members are children. The charity uses its money to support campaigns — for example, for changes in fishing policy and so forth. [11/12] It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist — with dolphin expertise — to monitor populations. Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation, office work and other things. [11/12] Questions 13-15 Choose the correct letter, A, B or C. 13. Why is Alice pleased that the Trust has won the Charity Commission award? A. It has brought in extra money. B. It made the work of the Trust better known. C. It has attracted more members. 14. Alice says oil exploration causes problems to dolphins because of ______. A. noise B. oil leaks C. movement of ships 15. Alice became interested in dolphins when ______. A. she saw one swimming near her home B. she heard a speaker at her school C. she read a book about them
4 TRANSCRIPT Alice: I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year — for our work in education. Although it’s not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood. [13] In the long term it may not bring in extra members but we’re hoping it’ll have this effect. Interviewer: Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters? Alice: Yes. In several locations. And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland. This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping. However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there. We’re campaigning against this because, although there’ll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise [14]. It means the dolphins can’t rest and socialise. This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place. I had never seen one and I hadn’t been particularly interested in them at school. Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them. I couldn’t put the book down – I was hooked. [15] Questions 16-20 Which dolphin does Alice make each of the following comments about? Write the correct letter, A, B, C or D, next to questions 16-20. Dolphins A. Moondancer B. Echo C. Kiwi D. Samson Comments 16. It has not been seen this year. B 17. It is photographed more than the others. C 18. It is always very energetic. D 19. It is the newest one in the scheme. D 20. It has an unusual shape. A TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: I’m sure our listeners will want to find out what they can do to help. You mentioned the
