Summer drama courses
Summer Review
On our courses, young people will
improve their team-working, as
everyone comes together to put on a
show. You’ll learn about acting,
singing, dancing, stage make-up,
lighting and directing. As we’re in the
capital, there’s the opportunity to go
and see a professional show.
B
Future Artists
Our courses take place in beautiful
countryside. We offer accommodation,
but we’re also near train and bus
routes, convenient for those who
prefer not to stay overnight. With help
from our excellent teachers, students
from age 10 and older will put together
their own show, writing the story, then
acting it out.
C
Be a star
Young people aged between 10 and
16 from all over the world come
together on our courses to learn
acting, singing and dancing. Students
can also learn how to do stage
lighting, make-up and directing. We’re
quite far from any town, so we offer
accommodation for those who need it.
D
Drama Now
Drama Now courses are for anyone
aged between 11 and 16. They take
place in a theatre, so students can
learn how to do lighting and directing,
as well as acting. Of course, parents
want to see what everyone has
learned, so there’s always a show on
the last day.
E
Young players
This course is for those who love
acting, with classes taught by
experienced teachers. We’re in the
middle of town, with lots of public
transport,
so
we
don’t
offer
accommodation.
Students
work
together to practice for a play that
parents will see on the last day.
F
Summer Interval
Our courses are for teenagers who
want to learn acting, singing and
dancing. Our city location and
professional teachers attract students
from various countries, so we offer
accommodation, and have staff to
meet students from the train or bus
station every day. Students will learn
roles for a show which they’ll perform
to their families on the last day.
G
Entertain
On an Entertain course, teenagers
learn to write and act in plays. As our
teachers are all working actors and
have acted all over the world, they can
give tips on stage, film and TV acting.
Courses take place in a TV studio,
and there’s accommodation nearby for
those who need it.
H
Celebrity
Our courses take place on the stage
of the famous Playhouse. Students
from 13 to 17 will learn from the
theatre’s own stars. Students will be
shown some of the differences
between being a stage actor and a
screen actor, and do some writing and
directing too.

Part 6
Questions 41 – 45
Read the text and questions below.
For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.
Door-to-door poet
The poet Rowan McCabe works in an unusual way. He knocks on strangers’ doors in
Newcastle, UK, and offers to write a poem for anyone who answers. If the person accepts, he
interviews them about their life, and then returns some days later to perform the poem. ‘I
didn’t know at first if it would work,’ he says. In fact many are surprisingly willing to share their
thoughts and stories. However, not everyone is keen. On his first trip, one woman looked at
him doubtfully and asked what he was selling. He explained that the poems were free, but
she shut the door anyway. One man who wasn’t interested told Rowan to talk to his wife
instead.
Rowan was only the second person in his family to go to university and the first to choose a
career in the arts. ‘Some of my relatives don’t get what I do,’ he admits, ‘they encourage me,
but worry I won’t make enough money from poetry. One of my grandads was a mechanic and
the other was a builder. It’s strange to them that I don’t do that type of work.’
Rowan posts the poems on his blog, along with information about the people he wrote them
for. ‘The point of this is to get everyone to think more about people they don’t know – why we
sometimes find strangers scary, and what it means to discover what we have in common with
them. I want to show that there are lots of different kinds of people in this country.’ To that
end, he wants to take his one-man door-to-door poetry project all over Britain during the next
few months. Then he plans to turn the poems, and the stories of the people in them, into a
show.
41 What is the writer trying to do in this article?
A
encourage people to study poetry
B

45 What would one of Rowan’s fans say?
B
A
I can’t wait to see Rowan’s
show. It’s going to be
completely different from the
work he’s done before.
Rowan’s so clever. He knew
right from the beginning that
he’d be successful with his
door-to-door poetry.
C
D
Rowan writes poems about
people who look interesting. I
live near him, so maybe I’ll find
a poem about myself in his
next poetry book.
I’ve seen Rowan’s work online,
and I can’t wait until he comes
to my town. I hope he knocks
on my door!
