4 Read and listen to an article about ballet. Then in pairs read it aloud.

Ivan Vasiliev

“IN BALLET YOU NEED TO BE PERFECT.”

Ivan Vasiliev is a Russian ballet dancer.


He is the principal dancer with the American Ballet theater.

I live in a flat in St. Petersburg with my girlfriend. I usually get up at about nine after that I have a
shower. In my job I often stay in hotels. When you have a shower in the morning in a hotel, you
can leave your towel on the floor. I love that!

I always have a good breakfast, and I love eggs. When I’m very hungry, I sometimes eat five. I like
sausages, too.

Classes start at 10:30. I practice all morning without a break. I sometimes have lunch, but not
always. In the afternoon, I practice more. Of course in ballet, you need to be perfect. Nureyev is
my favorite dancer. I have a pair of his ballet shoes.

After work I want to eat. I love meat. My favorite is a big steak. Not vegetables, only steak.
In the evening we sometimes go out. Before we go out my girlfriend looks at my clothes and she
usually says: “No, Ivan change your clothes!” I’m not interested in clothes, but I love watches.
I have seven, including a Montblanc, three Rolexes, and a Maurice Lacroix. Sometimes, I don’t go
to bed until 1:00 or 2:00. It’s often difficult to sleep. I have a lot of things in my head.

1 Read and listen to a story about a Scottish Mall.

“A friend to help you shop”


Good news for people who don’t like shopping! There is a
Scottish mall that has a new service. This service provides a
“shopping friend” for people who don’t like shopping alone.
The Braehead shopping center in Glasgow also has a lounge.
Shoppers can leave their husbands, wives, girlfriends, or
boyfriends who don’t like shopping in the lounge. They can
shop with a new “shopping friend” for a few hours. This new
shopping friend loves shopping! While you go shopping with
your shopping friend, your partner plays video games, reads
magazines, or watches TV. “The shopping friend is perfect:
friendly, polite, enthusiastic,” said a representative of this
new service. She said that a survey showed that “shopping”
was one of the things many young British men hate; they say
that they are bored when shopping.
