Coleen McLoughlin became famous when, as a 16-year-old schoolgirl, she started dating

millionaire footballer Wayne Rooney. Now, aged 20, she is the face of Asda's budget clothing

line, has her own magazine column, has worked as a TV presenter and is in the process of

promoting her book, Welcome To My World.

3.1.______

I explain what it’s like doing a photoshoot, what it’s like modelling and going to the parties I’m

privileged to go to. There are also loads of fashion tips and stuff about health and beauty. It’s

about what the past four years have been like for me.

3.2.______

I’m not a big reader but the last book I liked was Fashion Babylon. It explains what goes on

behind the scenes at a catwalk show and tells you things about the fashion industry you’d never

know.

3.3.______

Feel good in yourself. There’s nothing worse than going out feeling you’ve worn the wrong

thing. Work out what suits you and emphasise the body parts you like best. The only time I don’t

stick to that rule is with shoes: as long as they look good, they can hurt me all they want.

3.4.______

I don’t really know. I like to have a good handbag. It’s something you can invest in. You can buy

expensive clothes but you might put on weight or lose weight but you’re not going to grow out of

a handbag. I love a good pair of shoes as well.

3.5.______

That’s what everyone asks me and I haven’t got a clue, ha ha. I’ll have to count and tell you next

time.

3.6.______

The picture that always gets used in press is the one of me in that awful Puffa jacket when I was

16 and still a schoolgirl. It was really horrible.

3.7.______

I never had one. All my friends had theirs and never grew out of them and they hated it. I only

got called Col – nothing bad.

3.8.______

I’d ban traffic wardens. I hate having to park miles from where I want to go. Obviously, there’s

other stuff I’d change in the world but traffic wardens do get on my nerves.

3.9.______

No but people tell me I am. It's weird when people tell me they want to dress like me because I've

never wanted to dress like anyone else. I think it's pretty mad when girls come up to me and tell

me they like the way I dress.

A. What’s your worst outfit ever?

B. What’s the most expensive fashion item you’ve bought?

C. What’s the book about?

D. Have you ever bought an expensive item then regretted it?

E. How many bags and shoes have you got?

F. What would you do if you were Prime Minister?

G. What’s your favourite book?

H. Do you see yourself as a fashion icon?

I. What was your nickname at school?

J. What are your top fashion tips?

A

“The Nanny Diaries” by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus’s is a story of a dutiful young

woman caught up in her bosses’ horrible bullying, a woman first naive, then shocked and finally

opening her eyes to what is important. It is a book which revolves essentially around these two

female characters and the authors make an excellent work of creating these contrasting

personalities. The intelligent but shy girl slowly loses respect for her despotic boss who, in turn,

disapproves of the girl’s ideas but can’t find anyone to replace her with. Unfortunately, in the

movie the abused babysitter is so dull in her acting we end up disliking her while the lady-boss

from hell is portrayed in a wonderfully human way, which makes us pity her. Possibly not what

the authors had in mind.

B

“Heartsick” by Chelsea Cain is a gripping crime story of Gretchen Lowell who is not your

average female serial killer –she’s a drop-dead beautiful one. No wonder a police detective whom

she almost tortured to death can’t get her out of his mind. Like in the bestselling “The Silence of

the Lambs” we get a serial killer in jail and an emotionally involved cop, and another series of

murders they need to solve together. “Heartsick” is not as elegantly conceived as its model. The

tensions and suspense is not as heavy and Gretchen is not a virtuoso psychiatrist who opens the

F.B.I. agent’s soul. She simply cuts his stomach open. But, if you like this kind of books, it is still

a powerful read which you might enjoy and then wait for part two which is also to come.

C

“To My Dearest Friends” by Patricia Volk is a story of two women’s search. For what?

Technically speaking, a man. As their friend dies and leaves them a letter from her secret

admirer, they feel they must find this man. But this search is only the background of a story of

their everyday lives – full of love, friendship, family problems, drinking husbands, pregnant but

homeless young couples and opera evenings. Ms Volk takes a banal and overused idea, a setting

that has been described countless times by countless authors, and yet manages to write a book

which is never boring. It is not a book that will surprise you or keep you in suspense but rather

make you want to turn off the phone, find a cup of tea and your favorite pillow and read the

whole afternoon away until you arrive at the last page.

Which of the books is it? A B C

4.1. It has been turned into a film.

4.2. It is likely to make you smile at life.

4.3. It is going to have a sequel.

4.4. The two main characters are a male and a female

4.5. The main characters dislike each other.

4.6. Ordinary things are shown in a unique way.

The purpose of my trip to Switzerland was to tour the Lindt & Sprungli chocolate factory, a

privilege only few can enjoy since the process involved in producing high quality chocolate is a

well-guarded secret. Several years ago Lindt offered factory tours, but critical parts of the

production process were revealed to competitors, and tours were stopped. This past week Lindt

offered a tour to members of the press, and I was able to attend through my work with

Chocolatier magazine.

When I first entered Switzerland the passport control officer asked me if the purpose of my visit

was personal or business. I was unsure how to answer since chocolate always brings me personal

pleasure, but the truth was I was there on business. After I told him my purpose was to visit the

Lindt chocolate factory, his eyes lit up and he said that Lindt was the best chocolate in the world.

Before entering the factory area, we stopped in a conference room to hear speeches from Lindt

staff members. The last one was by Master Chocolatier Geller who has been with Lindt for over

45 years and he could advertise it – he is just like you would picture a chocolatier from a small

Swiss town to be; grey hair covered by a large, floppy hat and glasses at the tip of his nose.

Mr. Geller has a thick German accent but had no trouble communicating his passion for

chocolate to the English speaking audience. He personally led us in a chocolate tasting session

and the factory tour. We had to put on white lab coats - the factory is very sterile. The production

of the chocolate does not involve too many people as it is mostly mechanized. The critical step is

the conching process, invented by Mr. Lindt in 1879. Originally, over 80 conching machines

were used, but today 4 machines do all the work.

Once the chocolate is made, it travels up long ramps to the floor above where it is pressed into

molds or filled to become truffles. The most amazing part of the tour was watching the machine

that wraps the individual Lindor truffles. It wraps 12 truffles per second, so fast you can’t see it.

There are at least twice as many people in the packaging area as in the chocolate production area,

since many of the products (like the delicious pistachio truffles) are too delicate to be handled by

a machine.

5.1. According to the author of the text:

A. not many people can visit Lindt chocolate factory

B. a tour of Lindt chocolate factory is not enjoyable

C. many people criticized Lindt factory tours

D. Lindt’s competitors made them stop the tours

A. she was afraid to tell the truth

A. welcomed everyone at the factory entrance

B. was in the picture advertising the Lindt factory

C. comes from a small Swiss town

D. started working for Lindt more than 45 years ago

5.4. In the factory

A. they could eat some chocolate

B. it was really cold and sterile

C. they saw original old machines

D. small part of the work is done by machines

5.5. Which is true, according to the article?

A. The factory was established by Mr. Lindt in 1879

B. The author wasn’t allowed to see some things

C. Some chocolates need to be packaged by hand.

D. People are less delicate than machines.
