Britain needs strong TV industry.

Comedy writer Armando lannuci has called for an industry-wide defence of the BBC and British programme-makers . "The thick of it" creator made his remarks in the annual MacTaggart Lecture at the Endinburgh TV Festival. 

"It's more important than ever that we have more strong , popular channels... that act as beacons , drawing audiences to the best content," he said. Speaking earlier , Culture Secretary John Whittingdale rejected suggestions that he wanted to dismantle the BBC. 

'Champion Supporters'

Iannuci co-write "I'm Alan Partridge" , wrote the movie "In the Loop" and created and wrote the hit "HBO" and "Sky Atlantic show Veep" . He delivered the 40th annual MacTaggart Lecture , which has previously been given by Oscar winner Kevin Spacy , former BBC director general Greg Dyke , Jeremy Paxmen and Rupert Murdoch. Iannuci said : "Faced with a global audience, British television needs its champion supporters." 

He continued his praise for British programming by saying the global success of American TV shows had come about because they were emulating British television. "The best US shows are modelling themselves on what used to make British TV so world-beating", he said . "US prime-time schedules are now littered with those quirky formats from the UK-the "Who Do you think you are" and the variants on "Strictly Come Dancing" - as well as the single- camera non-audience sitcom, which we brought into the mainstream first . We have changed international viewing for the better."

With the renewal of the BBC's royal charter approaching, Iannucci also praised the corporation. Ha said : "If public service broadcasting-one of the best things we have ever done creatively as a country- if it was a car industry, our ministers would be out championing it overseas, trying to win contracts, boasting of the   British jobs that would bring." In July, the government issued a green paper setting out issues that will be explored during negotiations over the future of the BBC including the broadcaster's size, its funding and governance. 

Primarily Mr Whittingdale wanted to appoint a panel of five people, but finally he invited two more people to advise on the channer renewal , namely former Channel 4 boss Dawn Airey and journalism professor Stewart Purvis, a former editor-in-chief of ITN. Iannucci bemoaned the lack of "creatives" involved in the discussions. 

"When the media , communications and information industries make up nearly 8% our GDP , larger thanh the car and oil, gas induostries put together, we need to be heard , as those industries are heard . But when I see the panel of experts who have been asked by the culture secretary to take a root and branch look at the BBC, i don't see anyone who is a part of that cast and crew list. I see executives , media owners, industry gurus , all talented people -but not a single person who's made a classic and enduring television show."

"Don't be modest"

Iannucci suggested one way of easing the strain on the licence fee was "by pushing ourshlves more commercially abroad." 

"Use the BBC's name , one of the most recognised brands in the world", he said . "And use the reputation of British television across all networks , to capitalise financially oversees. Be more aggreessive in selling our shows, through advertising , through proper international subsrition channels , freeing up BBC Worldwide to be fully commercial, whatever it takes. 

"Frankly, don't be icky and modest about making money, let's monetise the bezeesus Mary and Joseph out of our programmes abroad so that money can come back , take some pressure off the licence fee at home and be invested in even more ambitious quality shows , that can only add to our value." 

Mr Whittingdale , who has interviewed by ITV news' Alastair Stewart at the festival , said he wanted an open debate about whether the corporation should do everything it has done in the past. He said he had a slight sense that people who rushed to defend the BBC were "trying to have an argument that's the job of the BBC". Mr Whittingdale said any speculation that the Conservation Party had always wnated to change the BBC due to issues such as its editoral line was "absolute nonsense".

COMMIT, CONNECT, EXIST, HAPPY, DEVELOP, FIND, INTIMATE, SIGN, REVOLVE, STABLE

Important social changes are taking place in the areas of marriage and the family. There is a global 1__revolution__ going on in how we think of ourselves and how we form ties and 2__connected_ with others

What most people call the traditional family was in fact a transitional phase in family 3_development_ in the 1950s. By then the idea that romantic love was the best 4__existant__ for marriage had replaced the concept of marriage as an economic contract. The family has since changed further.

In the traditional family the marriage couple was only one part of the family system. Ties with children and other relatives were equally important in day-to-day 5_________. Today the couple is at the core of what the family is. While statistically marriage is still the norm, for most people its 6__________ has completely changed. Although marriage promotes the 7_________ of relationship by making a public declaration of 8________, it is now the quality of the couple’s relationship which is considered the most inportant element.

A couple has its own exclusive history. It is a unit based upon emotional communication or 9________. Communication is both the means of establishing the tie in the first place and the basis for ensuring continuing 10__________in the relationship.

Monks and other people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.

Read the following article about how to be environmentally friendly and decide in which paragraph (A - E) the following are mentioned. Write your answer (A, B, C, D, or E). Write one letter for each answer. The paragraphs may be chosen more than once.

A. FAIR TRADE

Farmers in developing countries are some of the most vulnerable people on earth, prey to world commodity markets, middlemen and the weather. So-called “fair trade” arrangements guarantee co-operative groups a price above the world market and a bonus on top. The growing fair-trade market has distributed hundreds of millions of pounds to more than 50 million people worldwide. But critics say that fair trade will never lift a country out of poverty; indeed, it may keep it there, because the money generated from the sale goes almost in its entirety to rich countries which promote the products. As a simple guide, only about 5% of the sale price of a fair-trade chocolate bar may actually go to a poor country.

B. ORGANIC FOOD

For food to be organic it must be free of added chemicals, both in the growing of the food and in the killing of the pests that might damage the crop. In a world where many manufactured chemicals have never been properly tested for safety, this is a very big selling point. Parents are thus prepared to pay a premium for organic food, especially when chemicals suspected of causing a variety of problems have been found, albeit in tiny quantities, in most children’s blood. The problem is that many farmers have not switched to organic in sufficient numbers to satisfy this growing market. As a result, supermarkets are often forced to fly vegetables as they can label “organic” halfway around the world, at a great cost to the planet in extra greenhouse gases. Environmentalists are now urging shoppers to buy locally produced vegetables, even if they are not organic and have been sprayed with pesticides.

C. RECYCLING

A great shift has taken place in the way we think about rubbish. Where once we were happy to bury it in landfills or dump it at sea, we are now being urged by national and local governments to recycle it and think of waste as a resource. The wheelie-bin culture is being replaced by a series of kerbside collections for paper, metals, plastic, bottles, clothes and compost. The idea is to cut landfill as well as saving the planet. It is, however, having some unexpected consequences. Most of Britain's plastic and paper is now being sent for recycling in China or India, which creates more greenhouse gases just to get it there, plus workers then have to separate it. Meanwhile, some paper and bottles carefully sorted out by householders end up being dumped in landfills after all, because the demand for recycled materials constantly fluctuates.

D. BEING CARBON NEUTRAL

If you want to make yourself feel better about the planet, there are lots for you to ease your conscience by becoming “carbon neutral”. One of the most appealing methods is to pay for someone to plant trees, preferably creating or regenerating new forests. The theory is that trees grow by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen storing the carbon in their trunks. But woods and forests create their own mini-climate, which collects and stores water and creates rainclouds. Added to this, there is the potential problem that planting trees often releases carbon stored in the soil – and what happens if the forests catch fire, or are chopped down and harvested for timber? Another and perhaps better solution might be to invest in small-scale hydro-electric schemes, so that people who live in the Himalayas, for example, and currently do not have electricity, can develop a 21st-century lifestyle without polluting the planet.

E. ECO-TOURISM

The idea of “green” tourism is to persuade local people not to chop down forests, shoot elephants or wipe out tigers, but to preserve them so rich tourists visit and peer at the wildlife through binoculars. Unfortunately, the best money is made from reintroducing animals for trophy hunting by the very rich- an idea which does not always meet with approval and has caused much debate. While tourists may help sustain some national parks, they often create as many problems as they solve. One is that they tend to demand all mod cons in their hotels, such as a great deal of water for showers; a luxury sometimes not available for locals. Eco-tourism, when properly managed, can offer the locals and the animals a brighter future. Sometimes, though, the only winners are a few business people who own hotels.

Question I.The following passage contains ten mistakes. Identify and correct them. (10pts)

If there is one characteristic of British work in the arts that seems to stand out is its shortage of identification with wide intellectual trends. Playwrights and directors can be left-wing in their political lout-out, but the plays they produce rarely convey a straightforward message. The same is largely true of British novelists and poets. Their writing is naturalistic and is not connected to particular intellectual movements. The theatre had always been very strong in Britain, especially in London. The country’s most successful playwrights are those who explore the darker side of the personality and of personal relationships. In contrast, the cinema in Britain is often regarded as not quite part of the arts in all, it is simply entertainment. Britain is unique between the large European countries in giving mostly no financial help to their film industry. Classical music is also a minority interest. British seem disinterested in high education, they watch lots of television, but are enthusiastic readers. The vast minority of books reading in Britain are not classified as serious literature.

Question II:The following passage contains ten mistakes. Identify and correct them. (10pts)

I have a briefcase full of papers which describes cases Sherlock Homes has investigated. Some are failures since there were some final explanations for the mysteries in question. A problem without a solution may interest the specialist, but will offer little to the general reader. Among these finishing stories is that of the yacht Alicia, which one morning sailed into the mist and disappeared forever; the vessel along the crew were never seen again. Then there was the case of the well-known journalist Luigi Persano, who found completely mad with a jar in front of him. A jar contained a remarkable worm, unknown by science up to that point. Apart from these mysterious cases to which Holmes did not find solution, there are those which various influence people would rather no see on print and those which might affect the reputation of Holmes himself, for whom I have more respectness than for any man alive
