1. Read the sentences and complete each gap with one preposition. Example: What time does the film start? At half past seven.

1 Is Nina staying home today?

2 She didn’t come school because she wasn’t feeling well.

3 Wait for me the museum, but don’t go in without me.

4 My great-grandmother was born 1906.

5 She’s standing in of the screen and I can’t see the TV.

2. Read the text and match the paragraphs with the questions.

A So, what exactly do you do every day?

B Is your job well paid?

C Emma, you’re an actress. Do you enjoy your job?

D And what are you doing tomorrow?

E What’s your part in this movie, then?

I want that job: Actress

This week’s ‘I want that job’ looks at the life of a young actress. We met 19-year-old Emma Graph, who told us what it’s like to work on a movie as a young actress.

1

Yes. It’s great! I’m not a big star, like Catherine Zeta-Jones or Kirsten Dunst, but this is my dream and maybe I’ll be a big star too one day! My role in this film isn’t very big, but I like it and I think it’s great fun! It’s a small role – only six or seven scenes in the film, but I think it’s quite important.

2

I play a waitress in a restaurant. People go there to eat and I serve them food and talk to them. One day I hear some people talking and I tell the police what I heard.

3

Well, all the actors have to come here early to put on our costumes and make-up. That’s great! I love make-up because when we finish, we don’t look like ourselves anymore! I look at myself in the mirror and I see a totally different person! It’s amazing!

4

Oh, tomorrow we are shooting a difficult scene. I’m coming here at half past five in the morning to put on my make-up and costume. It takes a long time, you know! Then, we’re practising the scene two or three times to prepare for the shoot. I’m not speaking in this scene, but I’m serving customers and listening to what they say. The director is meeting us at half past twelve. He’ll explain to us where to go and where the cameras will be.

5

No, not really! It’s the beginning of my career, so I don’t get a lot of money, but I’m learning a lot of things and I’m enjoying myself a lot!

3. Read the text and decide which answer (a, b or c) best fits each gap.

Does anyone really know for (0) a what (1) going to happen in the future? Today, I’m (2) to see a fortune-teller to find out. I hope she (3) give me any bad news!

I’m a bit nervous because I’m not sure that I want to know what the future (4) bring! The fortune-teller says half of her customers feel the same, but I told myself her predictions aren’t definitely (5) to happen. Well, I’ll soon (6) for sure!

It (7) take about a quarter of an hour because the fortune-teller asks lots of questions. She will want to know about my distant past as well as my recent past. How much (8) I going to tell her? I don’t know!

I hope she tells me that I (9) be very successful. I’m appearing in a new play next week and if it’s good, I’m going (10) go to drama school. Maybe she’ll tell me that I will be a famous star one day!
