Task 2: Read the article about changes in appearance. For question 1-10, choose the best answer (A,
B, or C). There is an example at the beginning (0).
Most people don’t change their appearance, or their style of clothes, very often but, for some occupations,
it’s necessary. Film and music stars sometimes change their appearance for their job. Some actors look
very different in each film, and they change their appearance in real life too. For example, they become
thinner. Nicole Kidman wore a latex nose for The Hours, and she changed her hair color - it is darker in
the film. Renee Zellweger often changes for films. She looked very different in the musical film about the

1920s, Chicago after she played a modern English journalist in The Diary of Bridget Jones. She spoke
differently from Bridget Jones, too - she spoke British English, but she is American!
Male actors change their bodies more often than female actors. When they’re preparing to be superheroes,
they go to the gym a lot, they work on their arms and eat different food. For other films, they lose twenty
kilos or they put on thirty. They change her hair, beard, and moustaches - and then they change again, at
the end of the job.
For music stars, the situation is different. Top music stars create fashions, but they don’t follow them.
They need a new style every year or two because they want to stay at the top. In the 1960s and ‘70s, for
example, some created styles that are still fashionable, but that doesn’t often happen now. When popular
stars nowadays change their appearance a lot and wear strange clothes, we watch their changes, but we
don’t copy them. Their style or styles are personal. We often take fashion from music and usually from
stars that look a little like us. These ‘family’ stars come and go, they don’t stay for long. But for music or
film stars, who want to stay at the top for a long time, change is good. And change is necessary.
