a finding / checking / researching information; finding an audience and guests for the programme; telephoning people, helping with filming
b They would need to be energetic, interested in people, careful, friendly, etc
c They would need to be well organised, have good communication skills, pay attention to details, etc Check that students understand
the difference between personal qualities (described in b) and skills (described here) You
can extend this by asking the students how the skills are relevant to different aspects of the job, e.g They need to have good communication skills because the job involves talking to people
a lot
2 1 B The title of the article could suggest that it
is about ‘working in TV’ in general, rather than specifically about ‘working about a particular job in TV’ (i.e as a researcher) Point out to students that this shows the importance of reading the whole article, and not deciding what the whole text is about just by looking at the title
2 C Researchers have to find a studio audience
and guests for quiz and chat shows (line 9), which would involve talking to lots of
people Also, You can meet really interesting
people … (line 40)
In line 30, Louise says you go out and help
the rest of the team with the filming, so we
can eliminate A and D Louise says that
there’s not a typical day at work (line 25), so
we can eliminate B

2 1 A The kitchen table (B) is a distractor, because
the girl picked up the magazine and put it
into her bag after the boy had seen it The
bag (C) is a distractor, because the magazine
‘isn’t there now’
2 C The question asks how the man found out
about the accident He found out from Sue
‘on the phone’, so C is correct It was Sue,
and not the man speaking, who found out
from the Internet, so B is a distractor And
A is a distractor because the woman ‘didn’t
hear anything’ about it on the radio
3 C The boy didn’t see the film at the cinema –
he ‘missed’ it, so B is a distractor It will be
on TV ‘eventually’, but not now, so A is a
distractor
Trang 23 A Louise says The research and communication
skills I learned at university were all I really
needed (line 21), so A is the correct answer
and we can eliminate D (as she already
had the research skills when she went to
Madrid) She studied Spanish at university
and worked at the BBC after her studies, so
we can eliminate B and C
4 B Louise advises Do any job, however boring,
and work on any type of programme (line 45)
This means the opposite of A and C, so we
can eliminate them She doesn’t say that
someone needs to learn languages to do the
job (although she did so herself), so we can
eliminate D
5 D Both ‘working hard’ and ‘meeting people’
are mentioned We can eliminate A because
Louise says the job is often exciting (line 50)
(but not ‘never boring’) She says You must
be able to work as part of a team (line 31), so
we can eliminate B She does not state that
all researchers will be able to travel round
the world, so we can eliminate C
