Now we are ready to start. Presenter: Today in our Meet A Celebrity Weekly Program we are talking to a successful filmmaker Jim Slogan. Welcome, Jim! Jim: Good afternoon everyone. It's good to be here. Thank you for inviting me. Presenter: So, Jim, did you want to be a filmmaker when you were growing up? Jim: I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. In high school I took a bus to school and I was always absorbed in a science fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds. I had a deep interest in other worlds, but didn't have an idea of where it'd take me in life. Whenever I wasn't in school, I was out in the woods taking samples—frogs and snakes—and bringing them back, looking at them under the microscope. I was trying to understand the world and the limits of possibility. Presenter: Ha, sounds like you could have become a scientist then. Jim: Well, not really. I was an artist. I could draw and paint. And I found that it was because of no videogames, so I had to create these images in my head. You know, we all did as kids—read a book and made a picture in our heads. And so my own response was to paint, to draw alien creatures, alien worlds, robots, spaceships—all that stuff. Presenter: I see. So in your art you had this combination of science and imagination that eventually has led to movies, right? Jim: Yes. When I chose a career as an adult, it was filmmaking because that seemed like the best way to reconcile this urge I had to tell stories with my urge to create images. Filmmaking was the way to put pictures and stories together. And of course, the stories that I chose to tell were science fiction stories. Presenter: Yes, most of your films are Sci-Fi and in all of them you used some highly complex technology. Do you choose your plot to fit the technical possibilities or do you create technology to suit your needs? Jim: Usually we come up with ways to realize my film ideas. In one of my films we created this water creature and we used computer-generated animation. And this resulted in the first computer-animated character that was ever in a movie. I witnessed something amazing. The global audience was in awe with this apparent magic. You know, any really advanced technology is hard to tell apart from magic. I thought wow, this is something that needs to be used in the cinema art. So in my next film we took that much further. We created the liquid metal figure. We created magic again and we had the same result with an audience. Presenter: You are known for your feature films, but do you ever do documentaries, for example? Jim: Funny you should ask that. There was actually a moment in my life when I said okay, I'm going to take a break from my day job as a Hollywood moviemaker and I'm going to be a full-time explorer for a while. And so with a team we went on an underwater exploration of a major ship wreck and made a film of that. At the same time I was getting very interested in space science as well. I got involved with NASA. We put what we were learning on tape. Presenter: You must have learned a lot through these new experiences. Jim: I learned a lot about science, but I also learned a lot about leadership. When I made my next Sci-Fi film, I tried to apply the principle of leadership, which is that you respect your team and you earn their respect in return. And the respect of your team is more important than all the fame in the world. Presenter: That's very insightful. What advice would you give to young film directors? Jim: I would say don't put limits on yourself. Other people will do that for you. Don't do it to yourself. Don't bet against yourself. Go and take risks. Whatever you're doing, failure is an option, but fear is not. 9. Jim's advice to young film directors is to be Ключевая фраза: "don't put limits on yourself. ... Go and take risks." → Он советует быть смелыми. → 3) brave.

Установите соответствие между текстами A–G и заголовками 1–8. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний. Пример ответа: 1234567 1. Various activities to do 2. Seeing wild animals 3. Funny names 4. Seaside observation point 5. Almost at the shore 6. Quiet places to explore 7. Different tactics 8. Pet-friendly booking A. The English have a very ironic sense of humour, and it may become clear when you discover what some of the towns and villages across England and the United Kingdom are called. Some are hilarious, while others are just plain rude. It is important to keep an eye out when you pass through the English countryside to see if you can spot a few on your travels. There’s Sheepy Parva and Sheepy Magna in Lancashire, Greedy Gut in Somerset, No Place in Derbyshire. There is always something to keep people entertained during their trip! B. England is part of the British Isles and a large archipelago off the coast of Europe. It is not a very big country. In fact, you could fit all the United Kingdom, that is, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, inside Texas, the USA, over 2.8 times. So, it shouldn’t come as too much surprise to know that you are never far from the sea when you are in England. In fact, even if you are standing in the very center of the country, you are still no more than 70 miles away from the coast. What a shame that the English weather doesn’t often encourage a beach day! C. Badgers are not always a farmer’s best friends, but Badger Watch farm in deepest rural Dorset has decided to exploit rather than fight Britain’s cutest large mammals. Extremely difficult to spot, a badger seen in the wild is an unforgettable experience. Two specially designed hides at Badger Watch Dorset offer one of the best chances of finding one. Each hide can be booked privately for up to eight people, from 6.30 pm until the lights are shut off at midnight. Alongside badgers, the hides offer a good chance of seeing foxes, deer, and rabbits. D. Holidays are the best opportunity to explore the UK and overseas territories, spending quality time with family or friends including a four-legged one. In fact, holidays are the best excuse to go on some nice dog adventure and give your dog the best time. To plan your perfect holiday, it’s a matter of finding a place suitable for dogs. The good news is that there is more choice than you may think. We found that almost all holiday accommodation and hotels have a filter which you can use to navigate your options, although some are better presented than others. E. The Hebrides are a beautiful archipelago, where Scottish Gaelic is still spoken. Each day will be a combination of relaxation and adventure. On a full day’s excursion, we may spend four or five hours in the kayaks and cover between seven and ten miles, with plenty of opportunities to land and explore islands on foot. One of the best ways to explore its coastline and spot some of the many bird species, otters and seals is by kayak. We can offer full-day guided trips, taking in hidden coves, long sandy beaches, and hidden ancient sites. F. You never forget your first whale. Such sightings are, of course, down to good fortune and timing, but once you’ve seen your first whale, you will want to see another and another. Famous for its whaling fleet, the Yorkshire coast is one of the best places in England to spot Minke whales, which appear in late summer, following the mackerel. From the coastline of the Outer Hebrides, you can spot up to 23 species of whales, more than a quarter of the world’s 89 known species, which pass through the waters off the west coast of Scotland. G. In summer the possibility of finding a calm area away from the crowds of holiday-goers can be a difficult task. Known as the Heritage Coast, the Northumberland coast area of outstanding natural beauty is surprisingly crowd- free, even in high summer. If you’re willing to relax, you’ll find a number of excellent bathing beaches here. Heritage hunters and nature watchers are spoiled with fantastically arresting castles. Most striking is the mighty fortress at Bamburgh. Many architectural historians have declared this the most wondrous of all England’s coastal castles.

Пример ответа: 1 Philanthropy Philanthropy is defined as the love of humanity. A modern definition is “private initiatives, for the public good, focusing on quality of life”, which combines an original humanistic tradition with a social aspect developed in the 20th century. Growing up in this state, I dreamed of attending a college one day. On fall Saturdays at the stadium, I caught a glimpse of the brick buildings and tree-lined walkways. I knew they led to information, knowledge, and a whole tribe of new minds to connect with. When the day finally came to unpack my few belongings in the residence hall, I knew I was finally where I had always wanted to be. My years on campus certainly lived up to the anticipation. The classes, professors, friends, and opportunities created a life-changing experience. Philanthropy is a critical part of the life and success of the whole local community, and college in particular. As a board member of the Center for Advancement, I have seen firsthand the joy of our alumni and friends as they make a difference in the life of this institution. They are delighted to pay it forward as they understand what college means to them. As a student, one does not always value how much the path was paved by those who have gone before, those who have an ability to give back. Now that my friend and I have made this community our family’s home, we have a much better understanding of how vital the long-term success of the college is for our entire state. Through my involvement with the Center for Advancement, I truly witness the breadth of areas one can support. This institution is doing incredible researching, educating, and programming in so many areas. And our donors can discover their passion and connect in a meaningful way that goes beyond the dollars given. Whether it is the joy of the written word, the connection to first-generation college students, the atmosphere of a football Saturday, or a desire to support the cure for a hereditary medical condition, our donors become a part of the life of the college. I have also seen philanthropy directly affect the life of the college from my experience in the Department of Finance. I work with students who have the opportunity to attend college because of the financial assistance they receive from our donors. Continued support has fostered the enhanced facility we work in today which has been reconfigured to remain relevant to today’s needs. The educational experience is much richer because of the generosity of others. Our new auditorium is one shining example that we are proud to support. Not only is this facility a marvel of world-class architecture and programming, it also strives to make the arts accessible to all citizens. These experiences spark curiosity and imagination in audiences, young and old, to remind us what it means to be alive in this era of technology and separation. Different funds provide a real-life working experience that is as relevant as any internship. Through philanthropy, students and faculty are able to use technology that could not be supported with tuition dollars. Private gifts also allow us to assist our faculty, who are the life of the institution, and provide our students a top-notch education. Every dollar of support to the university today replays itself over and over as successive generations of learners have an opportunity to develop the skills they need to save lives, shape minds, and transform our future. One of the values we hope to instill in our children is the understanding of the value of giving back. 12. The author’s childhood dream was to … 1) enter a college. 2) change her life. 3) leave the state she grew up in. 4) visit a college campus.
