READING
GUIDE EXERCISE 1:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Dear Editor
I am writing with regards to the article 'Is the TV Dead?' that appeared in your newspaper on the 4th
March. The author claimed that with the rise of the Internet, the TV was becoming less and less significant
in our lives. I find it very difficult to agree with this view. The TV is still the main way most of us get our
entertainment at home. It offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries
and occasionally, thanks to important televised events, it has the power to bring the whole nation and all
ages together in a way the Internet never could. Your article was particularly critical of the TV for the poor
quality of programmes available on the many channels we now have. It is certainly true that many of the
channels offer nothing more than repeats or low budget programmes. However, I would argue that the
majority of content on the Internet is also of questionable quality. I agree with the writer that it is easy to
keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, but I'm sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to the
News on TV in the evening just as much. The writer is correct in stating that the Internet has become our
major source for research and I think this is its main strength. However, criticising the TV for not being as
good is totally unfair. Information programmes like documentaries are made for their potential as
entertainment not as research tools and as such will continue to be popular with viewers. So in conclusion
I don't think the writer should be so quick to write the TV off. On the contrary, I think it has many more
years left in it!
Yours sincerely
Samantha Johnson

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse first appeared in the short film Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928. He was created
by Walt
Disney and is the official mascot of the Walt Disney Company.
Mickey mouse typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves. He appears alongside
his girlfriend Minnie Mouse, his friends Donald Duck and Goofy, and his pet dog Pluto, among others.
Mickey has three fingers and one thumb on each hand.
'Mortimer Mouse' had been Disney's original name for the
character before Lillian, his wife, suggested
that he be called 'Mickey Mouse' instead. A large part of Mickey's character is his famously shy voice.
From his first speaking role in 1929, Mickey was voiced by Walt Disney himself.
