1. READING
Read the following text about ‘The perfect body’
Most people were surprised when Renée Zellweger got the part of Bridget in the film Bridget Jones’s
Diary. The film is about a young woman who worries about work, her weight and men. Zellweger is a
slim American woman – completely different from Bridget who is English and overweight.
So, what did Zellweger do to get the part right? She had lessons to improve her English accent and
she put on about eleven kilos. For several months she didn’t do any exercise and ate a lot of pizza,
peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate. Although it was fun a first, she often felt quite sick.
Zellweger put the weight on because she thought it was important to be as real as possible. She was
surprised, however, by people’s criticism. People criticised her for being fat when she put on weight for
the film. Then they criticised her again for being too skinny when she lost weight after the film. She
realised it’s almost impossible to have the perfect body in the eyes of the media.
So why did she do it? Well, money was probably one reason. On top of her $15 million salary, she
earned $225,000 for every kilo she put on. That’s an extra $2.5 million! And it didn’t stop there. A
British slimming magazine paid her $3.5 million to lose all the weight again. So perhaps Zellweger
doesn’t need to care about the criticism when she earns all that money!
Now read the statements below and decide if they are true (T), false (F)
or doesn’t say (DS): (14 points)
