Spirited Away
( J a p a n e s e :S e n t o C h i h i r on o K a m i k a k u s h i )
Spirited Away begins with Chihiro and her parents travelling to their new home. They take
a wrong turn and find themselvesin a mysterioustown with many restaurants.They can
see all kinds of food in the restaurants.Chihiro'sparents decideto sit down and they start
eating. While they eat and eat, Chihiroexplores.She meets a boy named Haku, who tells
her to leave the place immediately.But it is too latel Chihiro is trapped in this spirit world
and her parents have become animals. She must learn to survive in this strange land and,
more importantly, she must try to rescue her parents and return home.
The story is about Chihiro's personal growth and the lessons she learns from her
experiences in the spirit world. She finds work at a bathhouse run by a stern old woman
named Yubaba. As the newest member of the staff, Chihiro is given the hardest jobs.

The Englishvoices are great but, with Disney's resources,anything less would be
disappointing.The casting is excellent - Daveigh Chase is perfect as Chihiro. There are
also memorable performancesfrom Suzanne Pleshetteas Yubaba and Susan Egan as Lin.

2003 Academy Award for "Best Animated Film") - the critics love it. And so do I!

Cristina's motorbike
eleven o'clock one morning the director of the
o Nacional de BellasArtes in BuenosAires.
Matttrtez, asked Cristina Rinaldi to come
his off,ce
'I
want to talk to you about an important iob I'd
you to do, Cristina. I think you'll be interested
ir.'
'Of
course.V{hat is it?'
.A
museum in Paris wants to send some
Impressionist paintings to BuenosAires. I spoke to
the Paris museum director, Philippe Maudet, this
morning and he's interested in using our museum
to show the paintings. It's an important job.W'ould
you like to do it?'
'Of
course I would. Great! You know I'd love to
see Impressionist paintings here in the museum,'
answered Cristina.
'Good.
I want you to begin work as soon as you
can,'the director said.'There is a lot you'll need to dol
Cristina felt good all day. She loved Impressionist
paintings.This new exhibition was wonderful. She
couldn't wait to begin.
After work Cristina got onto her motorbike
outside the museum. She was feeling good. She had
an important new job, the sun was warm on her
back and it was the start of spring weather in the
city of Buenos Aires. Maybe tomorrow she could
leave her jacket at home.This year September was
warm, and people were already talking about a hot
summer. Cristina started her motorbike and felt
the warm air on her face as she rode alongAvenida
del Libertador. She never wore a helmet because
she liked the feeling of the wind in her long hair.
But her father didn't know that. She remembered
his words when he gave her the new motorbike:
'Always
wear your helmet, Cristina - every time you
ride!'She hoped her father would never see her
without it.
Every day at this time Cristina rode down
Avenida del Libertador to the gym at the Recoleta
Health Club. Her day's work at the museum was
finished and she was free. She usually forgot about
her work as she rode down theAvenida. But today
was a little different. She couldn't stop thinking
about her new iob.
Cristina began to slow down for the traffic
lights.The traffc in the city centre was terrible. She
didn't work far from the gym but the road had so
many trafÍic lights. She stopped and looked into the
car next to her. She saw ttvo men in the car. She
couldn't believe her eyes. One of the men had a
gun.Then he looked out of the window at Cristina.
She looked into his eyes, into his dark brown eyes
and for a moment the man looked back.Then he
turned his head and she saw a tattoo of a flower, a
red poppy, on his neck.
Then she heard the sound of police cars.The
man in the car lifted up his gun. Cristina felt afraid.
She wanted to go quickly. She tried to start her bike
but she couldn't. Everybody else was moving but
she couldn't. Suddenly a taxi hit the back of her
bike. She fell from the bike onto the front of the
taxi and then down onto the road. Her head hit the
toadhard. She saw nothing, she felt nothing - she
didn't even hear the sound of the ambulance which
took her to hospital.

1 Claudiohearsthat there is a portert
job availableat a localhotel.He
does not reallyknow what porters
do, so he asksa friend. Think of
three things that porters do.
Claudiolookson the Internet.He
finds this information on a website
about hotel and cateringjobs. Skim
the webpage. How many different
types of hotel porter are there?
Look at the webpage again.
Answer these questions.
*
In hotels, there are three types of porters, all with very
different jobs.
I
Hall porter
s
The hall porter has a busy job, and one where there is
constant contact with the customers. The hall porters
work closely with the reception team as fhey are both
responsible for welcoming the guests into the hotel and
ensuring that all thelr needs are met throughout tF,eftstay.
2
N¡ght porter
The fofe of a night porter differs from thaf of a day
porter. .If is an extremely important job as fhey are often
the only staff available during the n¡ght. In smaller hotels
a s/he will have to look after recept¡on duties as well.

Banqueting
porter
The duties of banqueting porters differ from hall porters
as they deal solely with the conference and banquet¡ng
facilities of the hotel. They are responsible for taking car€
of guests who attend functions at the hotel and ensuring
that all requirements arranged between the customer and
the banqueting co-ordinator are met, There is often a great
deal of heavy work to be carried out prior to a function.

When should I use my dictionary?
A dictionaryis veryusefulwhen you are learninga foreignlanguage.
However,
wnen
you arereading,
do not useyourdictionary
too much.Usingyourdictionary
will interrupt
yourreadingandslowyou down.In yourown language,
you don'talwaysunderstand
the meaningof everyword;it is not necessary
to understand
everything
in English
either
I Whenyou seean English
wordthatyou don'tknow,firsttryto guessthe meaning
of the word from its context(the wordsaroundit). Youmayfind anotherword with
a similarmeaning,
a wordwhichmeansthe opposite,
or somewordswhichactually
explain
the unknownword.Onlyuseyourdictionary
to checkyourguess.
2 Theonlyothertime you shouldlooka wordup in yourdictionary
is if thereareno
