opgave 3Tekst 3 Mobile phones are dirty

Mobile phones are dirty
figuur bij de opgave
1 What’s the object you touch the most? We’re guessing that your mobile
phone probably features in the top three. It may come of little surprise that
research from the University of Arizona found that your phone has 10
times more bacteria than your toilet seat. Emily Martin, an assistant
professor at the University of Michigan, explains: “Because people are
always carrying their cell phones, even in situations where they would
normally wash their hands before doing anything, cell phones do tend to
get pretty gross.” Despite the high concentration of germs found on your
phone – you’re unlikely to fall ill because of them. The majority of
microbes and natural bacteria found on your skin, which get transferred to
your phone, won’t make you sick. Staphylococcus epidermidis, for
example, might be present – but it won’t leave you with an infection.
2 Problems arise if you enter an environment where you could pick up
harmful bacteria on to your hands and transfer them to your phone, for
example, public spaces and public transport. Viruses can also spread on
phones if one person is sick with strep throat or influenza and coughs on
their cell phone before handing it off to a friend. Professor Martin warns
that taking your phone to the toilet is another massive no-no, because
when toilets flush they spread germs everywhere – including dangerous
bacteria, such as E. coli. She compares it to not washing your hands after
using the loo.
3 If you want to clean your phone, a few different methods will work.
Keeping your phone out of the toilet is a first. Experts suggest you also
wipe your phone clean every couple of weeks, either with a wipe/cleaner
specially designed for smartphones or a 40:60 alcohol-to-water solution
and a cloth. Stay away from liquid or spray cleaners, which can damage
your phone. But how do you avoid getting sick from your phone? Wash
your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes and mouth if you
haven’t had a chance to give them a rinse.

opgave 4Tekst 4 Child Voice Acting: the truth!

Child Voice Acting: the truth!
figuur bij de opgave
1 Myth 1: Only adults with character voices play child voice roles
Voice acting is a massive, competitive and well-paid industry for actors.
We often think of “voice acting” as an industry full of adults with dozens of
different character, cartoon, and child voices. There are many multi-
talented adult voice actors with range and skill. However, there is a place
for children in the voice acting industry, too! If you’ve seen (and heard)
animated television series like Fisher Price’s Little People, The
Backyardigans and Disney’s Palace Pets, you’ve heard youthful voice
work by real child actors. Sometimes, child actors go back and forth
between voice and on-camera acting. Other times, they specialize in voice
acting and maintain lifelong adult voice acting careers.
2 Myth 2: Voice acting is easier than on camera acting
I would say that expressing feelings can be more challenging in voice
acting than in any other kind of acting. You can’t “hide” in voice acting –
there is no visual distraction in the form of physical comedy or facial
expressions. All acting must be expressed through the voice! Recorded
performances are always removed from the audience. Usually, a voice
actor will work in small booths, completely alone, relying solely on their
imagination! Two actors might each record their halves of an argument in
separate recording sessions, a month apart. The timeline of making an
animation movie is such that some voice actors record their performances
with only a mood board and the script to go on. Also, voice actors are
often cast in multiple roles in the same project.
3 Myth 3: Voice acting is more difficult to break into than other fields
Competitively speaking, voice acting is no different than any other form of
acting. All lasting acting careers require hard work, training and a
willingness to constantly grow and learn. Nevertheless, here are a few
tips. If a child is interested in breaking into voice acting, his or her best bet
is to start with solid training. Voice-acting training differs from on-camera
training. Start with your local acting school, and ask to work with coaches
who specialize in voice work. You might even seek a talent agent who
specializes in voice acting. Do you have a parent who likes to be
involved? Just as “real family” casting has become a trend in the on-
camera commercial world, there is a demand in voice for “real families” of
parents and children who can work together.

opgave 5Tekst 5 Always the New One

Always the New One
figuur bij de opgave
Jeremie, 17, and her family move every few years. Along the way, she
learned valuable lessons about making friends.
1 “Starting the school year is always a little overwhelming for everyone. You
need your schedule just right. You want to choose the perfect first-day
outfit. But on top of that I need to add ‘you don’t know anyone’ to the list
every couple of years. My dad serves in the U.S. Army so we’ve had to
move a lot. I’ve lived in Germany, Japan, Hawaii, Kansas, South Carolina,
Illinois and now in New York. During elementary school and middle
school, being new wasn’t that big of a deal because I was in a classroom
with the same kids all day. But building friendships in high school has
been a little more challenging.
2 When I went to high school at 14 I felt really intimidated for the first time.
We had just moved from Germany to Illinois and I’d spent the summer
worrying I was not going to fit in or find any friends. I was afraid I would
have to sit alone during lunch for the first few days, feeling sorry for
myself. So that’s why I asked my dad for suggestions. He told me just to
ask someone if I could sit with them. It sounded easy enough. So the first
day I scoped out the cafeteria for open seats and got up the courage to
approach a table of people who didn’t seem too closed off. To my
surprise, the group said, “Sure, sit here!” Just like that, we started talking
about who each of us had for English and the conversation flowed.
3 My strategy worked out so well that the next day, I decided to try to sit
with another group. They told me no - they were saving their empty seat
for someone else. But as I finished my lunch alone, I didn’t see anyone
actually sitting there. It stung but I didn’t let it show. (Why would I want to
hang out with mean people anyway?) After that, I went back to the original
crew who’d welcomed me. From then on they were my squad…until I had
to move to Brooklyn after a year and a half and start over.
4 I was so worried it would be hard to find friends - again - especially since
I was going to a nonmilitary school where most students had known one
another forever. Luckily I had my trumpet. I had noticed that when I was at
a new school, starting fresh all over again, it helped to have something
familiar. My trumpet could accompany me wherever I went and that gave
me confidence. When you are confident you have a positive glow that
other people will be attracted to automatically. Having a hobby helps me
meet people too.
5 No matter how much I bond with people, I still have moments when
they’re all laughing about shared childhood memories and I have nothing
to contribute. Still, I’ve learned that I don’t have to be shy about what
makes me different - that’s what makes me interesting! When I tell people
I was born in Germany or share my stories about going to elementary
school in Japan, they’re immediately intrigued. Who else has had sushi in
the school canteen, learned how to surf during P.E.1 or knows how to say
basic things in three languages?
6 Now that I begin my senior year, I’m not as afraid as some of my
classmates ‘to start all over again’ next fall when we will go to college. It’s
always a little scary, but take it from me, you will soon make new friends.
Just don’t forget to keep in touch with the old ones! I’ve got used to
leaving familiar faces behind, but I have a lot of besties all over the world
and we faceTime, Skype, text, and Snapchat. The sign of a good friend is
when you can pick up where you left off, no matter how long it’s been. Not
too many people have had to move seven times (and counting) in their
life, but we’re all thrown into unfamiliar experiences at some point. Be
open to them! Exciting things come when you go outside your comfort
zone.”

Vampire children Three million children, aged 8 to 15, own an internet-enabled smartphone. On top of that, one in three aged 5 to 15 has their own tablet. By the time these children are in their teens, using smartphones and tablets into the early hours has become completely established. There’s now even a name for teens staying up too late and posting on social media – it’s called “vamping”, named after the adolescent vampires who never sleep in the Twilight books and films. Indeed, staying up all night has become ‘cool’ with children competing and egging each other on over social media. Scroll through the social media feeds on Twitter in the early hours and you will find them strewn with dozens of ‘selfies’ of bleary-eyed teens taken in darkened bedrooms, advertising the fact that they are still awake to their fellow night owls, with hashtag #vamping.

opgave 8Tekst 8 Growing Pains

Growing Pains
figuur bij de opgave
Devon Carrow lost her confidence for a while, but has found perspective
and a new path.
1 It all started when I was sixteen. It had been a long day, so I hopped into
the shower. When I raked through my hair with my fingers I felt it: a small
smooth patch above the nape of my neck. I was horrified. In a panic I ran
downstairs to my mom, who discovered a bald patch the size of a quarter
in my otherwise thick, auburn hair. We were confused but tried to think
what could have happened. Maybe my hair rubbed out on my pillow?
Maybe I pulled it out by accident by brushing too roughly? There had to be
some reasonable explanation for this, we figured. I calmed down, but
decided to schedule an appointment with my doctor just to be safe.
2 When the doctor told me I had alopecia areata, it was the first time I ever
heard those words. I learned that it is an autoimmune disease that causes
hair loss on the scalp, the face and sometimes other areas of the body.
The cause is unknown. The doctor searched my head and found another
bald patch the size of a dime. She told me that many people with the
disease get only a few bare patches, but it might get worse. Then she
gave me a treatment plan and prescriptions and I relaxed a bit. I had an
explanation for what was happening.
3 But my hair continued to fall out. I used everything I could to hide it:
bandanas, scarves, headbands, even a special coloured powder to cover
the patches. (It was a big mess.) Showers were terrible, I would cry as
huge lumps of hair fell out and clogged my drain.
4 Grandpa Fred, as I called my grandfather, was my best friend. He taught
me how to drive in the horse pasture of his farm in a tiny pickup truck. He
always gave me cinnamon buns for breakfast and told me scary stories
before bedtime. And we had something else to bond over, because he
understood very well how I felt about my schedule full of doctor’s
appointments. He always said I was beautiful and perfect exactly like
I was. He told me never to change. I learned to accept my hair loss and
never, ever looked back.
5 It’s been six years now since that first nightmare trip to the doctor. My hair
didn’t grow back. I’m 60% bald now but I’m still hopeful that eventually
they’ll find a treatment that works for me. I wear a wig when I go out in
public. I put it on in the morning the same way that someone would put on
a deodorant or lipstick. Sometimes I wear a baseball cap or a scarf. And
when people ask about my hair I’m happy to explain what alopecia is.
Instead of feeling criticized I use it as an opportunity to spread awareness.
When I talk to other girls with alopecia I always stress that the only thing
that matters is being comfortable yourself, not making others comfortable.
It’s a personal choice. My hair might not have grown since high school,
but my confidence certainly has!

Say yes to new things and shake up your routine. By pushing past your
comfort zone you can open up a world of possibilities. If you’re looking for
motivation to try something new, here are a few things to think about:
..............................................
1 Throughout your life, you may say “no” to something and later regret your
decision. Missing opportunities can feel like you’ve let yourself down.
Remember it’s rarely too late to learn something new and rather than
dwelling on a past decision, why not make a promise to say yes the next
time an exciting opportunity comes your way?
..............................................
2 Trying new things increases confidence and builds self-esteem. Saying
yes to one opportunity usually motivates you to say yes more often,
opening your life to new adventures. Courage and confidence are
wonderful attributes to have. They inspire others and make you feel good.
..............................................
3 Probably the best thing about trying new things is finding you enjoy them.
Life is a joy if you spend it doing the things you love with the people who
lift you. So why not actively try to meet new interesting people and
discover stimulating activities?

on my birthday. It’s a nice tradition and it gets me excited about the

Liam, Dudley
Ask your friends for help. This serves three purposes. One: Your friends
will come up with all sorts of good ideas you never would have thought of.
Two: It makes you more likely to actually do those things. Three: It gives
your friends an opportunity to suggest things they’ve been wanting to try
and now you can do them together!
Hannah, London
Your “new things list” is not your bucket list. Walking along the great wall
of China might be a new thing, but it would probably take months (or
years!) of saving and planning. New things should be relatively easy and
do-able. Once-in-a-lifetime experiences are lovely and important, but
realistic new things are, too.
Francis, Dublin
My hobbies are reading, watching movies and eating. At first when I tried
to do new things I tried new books, movies, and food. I thought I was
doing new things, but actually I was doing more of the same. So, for
example, if you’re a gym bunny, resist the urge to only try new physical
challenges.
Mark, Portpatrick

opgave 11Tekst 11 Do you have what it takes to be a stand-up comedian?

Do you have what it takes to be a stand-up comedian?
By Adam Ruben, Independent Stand-Up Comedian
(1) You enjoy making people laugh, and
you’d love to take humor to the next level in
your life and make it a career. Well,
becoming a stand-up comedian might just
be the right path for you. Making jokes with
friends might be easy, but writing them and
performing in front of a crowd that you do
not know might just need a little more work.
It’s not about just standing up and having
the audience laugh. If you choose to be a
comedian, you’ll need to create your
repertoire, learn how to have great stage
presence, and be prepared for a tough road
to the top, just like most artists. You’ll also
need talent, willingness to put in some long
hours, good observation skills, and lots of
curiosity for the world around you.
figuur bij de opgave
It’s more than stand-up
(2) Remember that the “stand-up comedian” part doesn’t have to be 100%
of your career. And I don’t just mean that you should look for a fulfilling
day job, though that’s of course a good idea. I mean that there are tons of
other comedy-like gigs out there in addition to the traditional microphone-
at-a-comedy-club thing. Here are some options: comedy writing, comedy
teaching, storytelling, humorous public speaking, humor writing, humor
blogging, character acting. So while you’re looking for comedy gigs, don’t
dismiss similar things that you may end up enjoying just as well.
Get a little education
(3) I highly advise taking a stand-up comedy class. Mine was strange in
that it was actually offered for credit by a university, but many are offered
by comedy clubs. Not only will you learn a lot and have great practice and
feedback, but you’ll have a lot of fun, too. Comedians will say “You can’t
teach funny,” but what you can teach (or learn) is how to write jokes, how
to get better on stage, and a bunch of mistakes not to make. Always
better to learn by hearing rather than making the mistake yourself.
Especially if it’s how not to hit yourself in the face when you pull a stuck
mic from the stand. Plus, in a class there are other students that can form
a group to support each other.
Master It
(4) The best teacher of stand-up comedy is stage time. Perform in as
many shows as you can, and when you’re not performing, watch the other
open mic comedians perform. See what works and what doesn’t. The five
minutes you’ll spend on stage that night will teach you so much more than
the hours you spent practicing your material alone in your room. Even
better, open mic nights will allow you to meet other comedians, which is
the first step toward finding out about other shows.

Holiday disaster
figuur bij de opgave
“When I was younger, I went on vacation with my family to the Caribbean.
The first day of the trip, I fell asleep on the beach while I was relaxing in
the sun. No problem, right? However, I accidentally took a nap with my
hand on my stomach and got the strangest tan line! Everywhere I went, it
felt like people were looking at it! I kind of wished I had just picked a spot
in the shade.”
