"Well, to be professional dancer it's useful to have had acting lessons or some background in drama. If you want to succeed in musical theatre you have to have good singing voice as well. When you approach an agent you should take portfolio with your CV, your statistics sheet and some good photos andreviews of past performances.

Next month I'll be touring Spain in production of musical that was written by friend of mine, Michaela Evans. 60 ____As for the future, I've come to realise that would never be content to be just chorus dancer I'mtoo much of an individual for that.

You are going to read three different opinions from leading scientists about the future of fuel. For the questions below, choose from the writers A-C. The writers may be chosen more than once.A. Howard Bloom, Author: Even though most people are convinced that peak oil has already passed, to me, peak oil is just hypothesis. There is theory that carbon molecules can be found in interstellar gas clouds, comets and in space ice, and if this is the case,our planet could ooze oil for ever. And even if we stay earthbound, those who say we have raped the planet of all its resources are wrong. There's huge stock of raw materials we haven't yet learned to use. There are bacteria two miles beneath our feet which can turn solid granite into food. If bacteria can do it, surely we creatures with brains can do it better. As far as the near future of energy is concerned, believe the most promising alternative fuels are biofuels, such as ethanol. It's an alcohol made from waste products such as thebark of trees, woodchips, and other 'waste materials'. And that's not the only waste that can create energy. My friend in the biomass industry is perfecting an energy-generation plant which can run on human waste. We produce that in vast quantities, and it's already gathered in centralised locations.B. Michael Lardelli, Lecturer in Genetics at The University of Adelaide: Nothing exists on this planet without energy. It enables flowers and people to grow and we need it to mine minerals, extract oil or cut wood and then to process these into finished goods. So the most fundamental definition of money is as mechanism to allow the exchange and allocation of different forms of energy. Recently, people have been using more energy than ever before. Until 2005 it was possible to expand our energy use to meet this demand. However, since 2005 oil supply has been in decline, and at the same time, and as direct result of this, the world's economy has been unable to expand, leading to global recession. With the world's energy and the profitability of energy production in decline at the same time, the net energy available to support activities other thanenergy procurement will decrease. We could increase energy production by diverting large proportion of our remaining oil energy into building nuclear power stations and investing in renewable forms of energy. However, this is very unlikely to happen in democratic nations, because it would require huge, voluntary reductions in living standards. Consequently, the world economy will continue to contract as oil production declines. With energy in decline, it will be impossible for everyone in the world to become wealthier. One person's increased wealth can only come at the expense of another person's worsened poverty.C. Jeroen van der Veer, chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell: People are understandably worried about future of growing energy shortages, rising prices and international conflict for supplies. These fears are not without foundation. With continued economic growth, the world's energy needs could increase by 50% in the next 25 years. However, do not believe that the world is running out of energy. Fossil fuels will be able to meet growing demand for long time in the future. Taking unconventional resources into account, we are not even close to peak oil. The priority for oil companies is to improve efficiency, by increasing the amount of oil recovered from reservoirs. At present, just over third is recovered. We can also improve the technology to control reservoir processes and improve oil flow. However, these projects are costly, complex and technically demanding, and they depend on experienced people, so it is essentialto encourage young people to take up technical career in the energyindustry. Meanwhile, alternative forms of energy need to be made economically viable. International energy companies have the capability, the experience and the commercial drive to work towards solving the energy problem so they will play key role. But it is not as simple as merely making scientific advances and developing new tools; the challenge is to deliver the technology to people worldwide. Companies will need to share knowledge and use their ideas effectively.Which writer80. believes oil will be available for many more years _____81. believes that from now on, less oil is available _____82. believes there are ways to obtain energy that we have not yet discovered _____83. sees great potential in natural fuels _____84. believes the fuel crisis will cause the poor to become poorer _____85. sees energy and the economy as intrinsically linked _____86. believes that better technology can help to maintain oil production levels _____87. thinks that oil companies are responsible for developing other types of energy _____Question 88 -> 94.
