2 EXAM TASK Read the following text, from which four sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences
(A-E) the one which fits each gap (1-4) to obtain a logical and grammatically correct text. There is one extra
sentence that you do not need to use.
A glamorous lifestyle in the centre of public attention, high pay and numerous opportunities to meet celebrities. What
else could any teenage girl want? (1)__ They flock to model agencies all over the world hoping to become one of the top
models. However, many don’t know about the ugly side of the modelling industry.
The problems often appear immediately after a girl is spotted and hired by a modelling agency. Sylvia Panuzzi was only
15 when a modelling agency approached her with an offer of a two-month modelling contract in Japan. ‘They had
assured my parents that I would be taken good care of, but the reality proved completely different. In Tokyo, I was taken
from the airport to a small one-bedroom flat and basically left to my own devices. (2)__ After a few days the agency van
stopped taking me from my flat to the photoshoots. Instead, I was given a map of the complicated Tokyo underground
system and had to commute on my own.’
The dreadful experience of having to cope with an alien environment affected Sylvia deeply. ‘I will never forget standing
in the middle of the Tokyo Station, frozen with fear, unable to make any sense of the characters of the Japanese
language. As I’m shy by nature, it took me a lot of effort to ask strangers for directions. Of course, I tried to talk about it
to some of the people in the agency. (3)__ .’
Sylvia’s problem did not end when she came back from Japan, even though she no longer had any illusions about
a modelling career. ‘Several months later I started experiencing panic attacks in different situations. (4)__ A classmate
would laugh while I was reading out loud in class or someone would accidentally touch me in the street and it would
frighten the life out of me.’
Sylvia was diagnosed with PTSD, the post-traumatic stress disorder, and had to undergo a six-month psychotherapy
treatment before she could return to a normal life. ‘I hope my story will serve as a warning to other teenage girls who
dream of a modelling career.’
A They were often caused by perfectly normal circumstances.
B She wasn’t even paid regularly and had to live off the money she’d taken from home.
C The magic of the catwalk world is an inspiration to a huge number of teenage girls.
D They just said I was old enough to manage on my own.
E They didn’t show me around the area, or even show me how to phone home.
___ /4
