REAL-LIFE ROMEOS

When we use the word Romeo for a romantic young man, we hardly think of the character from William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet But a sure sign of an author having created a successful character is that the character's name enters the language and becomes a word Despite only writing in Spanish, Shakespeare's contemporary Cervantes achieved the feat of creating a new word in a different language - English, the adjective quixotic This word comes from the title character of Cervantes' Don Quixote It describes a person who has great imagination and makes incredible plans, but whose plans are unfortunately impossible to achieve

One author who was particularly successful in seeing his characters enter the language was the novelist Charles Dickens In modern English a Scrooge is used to describe someone who is mean and tries to avoid spending money at all The word comes from the protagonist of Dickens's novella A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge, who treats the employees who work in his office poorly and makes them work in terrible conditions As well as Scrooge, Dickens also had success with Fagin, the villain of Oliver Twist In the novel Fagin controlled a group of child criminals His name is often used in the press to describe real-life adult leaders of youthful gangs

The Victorian era (1837-1901) in which Dickens wrote was a major period for the English novel At the end of the nineteenth century, the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson achieved enormous success with his masterpiece Treasure Island Stevenson also brought two of his characters into everyday speech A Jekyll and Hyde character is a person whose personality can quickly change from being kind to being angry, impolite or aggressive The name comes from the scientist protagonist of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde whose strange experiments turn him from man to murderous monster, and back again. Stevenson was not alone in seeing success from the field of Gothic Horror At the age of twenty one, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, and the name of her mad scientist is now used as an adjective to describe any kind of science that seems to be out of control Frankenstein foods, for example, is a term that people can understand to describe genetically modified ingredients

It does seem strange that villains enter the language more often than heroes Sometimes in fact these characters need hardly appear in the original work at all The television series Big Brother is named after the all-powerful dictator who rules the London of the future in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four Big Brother himself is never encountered during the story: we only ever see his face on posters along with the ominous message 'Big Brother is Watching You' This is why the presence of more and more cameras watching the streets, and greater government controls over the everyday lives of people, has led to the suggestion that we live in a 'Big Brother society' Interestingly, Orwell achieved the double feat of creating a character that has entered the language as well as entering the language himself The word Orwellian is used to describe a society which tries to control every aspect of people's lives, as happened in the pages of Nineteen Eighty Four Like the novel, it's a word that seems to be getting more and more popular all the time

[From SPOTLIGHT ON FIRST, Exam Booster, Cengage Learning, 2015] Question 1: How does the writer feel about genetically modified foods?

A He opposes them. B He thinks they taste horrible. C He thinks they are an amazing scientific achievement. D He is undecided.

Question 2: What was Ebenezer Scrooge?

A a criminal B a businessman C a hero D a very poor man

Question 3: The word 'quixotic'

A is a criticism. B is very old-fashioned.

C can mean one of two things. D is a comptiment. Question 4: What is the effect of the posters of Big Brother?

A They advertise a television programme. B They give people orders.

C They make people feel nervous D They are used in election campaigns. Question 5: What kind of people use the word 'Fagin'?

A criminals B journalists C politicians D children

Question 6: What does the writer mean by 'Stevenson also brought two of his characters into everyday speech'? A The characters spoke very naturally.

B The characters were named after words people used in their daily lives. C The author changed the characters' names to make them more popular.

D The names of the characters are used by people as part of a common expression. Question 7: The word “ominous” is opposite in meaning to …

A well-timed B benevolent C auspicious D ill-fated

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.

THE WORLD'S MOST UNUSUAL JOB APPLICATIONS EVER!

Job hunting is one of the most stressful times in your life You can spend hours perfecting a CV or filling in online application forms For many people, the result is the same: a polite 'no thank you' You know you have the personal qualities to the job, but you can only show them when you meet your employer face to face So how can you get that elusive interview? Here are some of the most surprising ways, and they're all real

One of the very best was the job applicant who arrived at a company with a takeaway pizza, with his CV printed on the box The interview took place while they ate and the applicant got the job before they had finished In this case, it's important to pick the right toppings Crime was the inspiration for Kelly Weihs of Baltimore, USA Looking for a job as a designer, she decided to show off her design work with her own CV She used a series of old fonts and interesting colours to make her CV look like a nineteenth-century Wanted poster from the Wild West Her imaginative approach worked and she got the job. However, it can be risky to make a CV like this Kelly's poster idea was perfect because she was looking for a job in design Other people make less intelligent CV decisions For example, some job candidates record a video of themselves singing for their new potential employers, even if they are only applying for a position as a PA This is never going to work It's too obvious that the candidate wants to be in the more exciting world of the music business, not answering the phones all day in an accountant's offices

America seems to be the home of the creative CV, no doubt because it has one of the world's largest populations and thousands of people are competing for every job Think about the poor managers who have to read through hundreds and hundreds of applications in a day It's one of the most boring jobs in the world Anyone might start thinking about more interesting things, like a break for coffee So imagine what happens when you get a free chocolate bar, completely out of the blue, with a CV wrapped around it That's was Nick Begley's big idea Nick printed his CV on a chocolate wrapper with his skills in the ingredients section He then placed it around a Nestle Crunch bar and he sent it in It paid off immediately because Begley got two job offers and ended up working in you guessed it, marketing

So if you want to stand out from the crowd, try one of these ideas for yourself Just remember that if you apply for a job at my company, I hate anchovies and black olives

The End BONUS

HOME, SWEET HOME

A Poem by John Howard Payne

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;

A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere.

Home, home, sweet, sweet home!

There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again! The birds singing gayly, that come at my call Give me them and the peace of mind, dearer than all!

There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild, And feel that my mother now thinks of her child, As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door Thro' the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more.

There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! How sweet 'tis to sit 'neath a fond father's smile, And the caress of a mother to soothe and beguile!

Let others delight mid new pleasures to roam, But give me, oh, give me, the pleasures of home.

There's no place like home, oh, there's no place like home! To thee I'll return, overburdened with care; The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there;

No more from that cottage again will I roam; Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

Home, home, sweet, sweet, home!
