Sea gypsies of Myanmar

e__________________ for a few hours when on the horizon we spotted the group of small hand-built boats, called kabang. Outsiders have been harassing the Moken throughout their history and his instinct told him to keep his distance. (TRAVEL)

But after hearing that I had been researching the Moken way of life since 1982, in the end the family elder, Gatcha, __________________ us into his ‘home’. (ACCEPT)

Home for this nomadic sea people are the kabang, on which they live, eat and sleep for eight months of the year. In these light craft, they traverse the Mergui Archipelago, 800 islands dotted across the Andaman Sea, off Myanmar, __________________ what they need to survive and moving on. (COLLECT)

They get by only on what they take from the sea and beaches each day to trade with Malay and Chinese merchants. They accumulate little and live on land only during the monsoons. But the world __________________ in on the Moken way of life. (CLOSE)

Ten years ago, 2,500 Moken were still leading a traditional seafaring life, but that population is slowly declining and now __________________ at around 1,000. (STAND)

If they cease to be sea gypsies, it __________________ that their unique understanding of the sea will disappear also. (FEAR)

The adventures of Hergé

Cartoons suit the way we like __________________ to be presented these days – graphically and in small chunks – and we are used to seeing in our newspapers and magazines cartoons and comic strips that take a wry look at modern life or provide a bit of escapism. (INFORM)

But __________________ we have seen an increase in the number of graphic novels: book-length comics with a single, continuous narrative.(RECENT)

The creation of the Belgian cartoonist Hergé, The Adventures of Tintin __________________ appeared in the Belgian journal Le Vingtième Siècle in 1929. (ONE)

One of the main __________________ for readers was that they were taken to parts of the world that they had never seen and probably would never see: Russia, the Congo, America. (ATTRACT)

Hergé himself only began to travel outside Belgium __________________ in life, but he was passionate about educating his readers about other cultures and places. (LATE)

Two things set Hergé apart as a graphic novelist. The first is his __________________ drawing skills: with just a few simple lines he is able to communicate a particular facial expression or movement. The second is the careful research he put into his stories. (TECHNIQUE)

Immortal words

The 16th-century dramatist Ben Jonson generously 32 ______ his rival Shakespeare a writer ‘not of an age, but for all time’. And so it has proved to be, for Shakespeare’s plays are still the most translated and most performed of any playwright’s in the world. But if you ask people what accounts for Shakespeare’s enduring popularity, you will 33 ______ a number of different answers. Some will say that he was a great storyteller, others that the magic lies in the beauty of his poetry. Some scholars point out that he was born in a very vibrant period in England’s history, a time both of great national confidence and of cultural activity, particularly in the theatre. As a 34 ______ , they claim, he was able to produce an extraordinary volume of work.

This last explanation 35 ______ rather unsatisfactory. A more interesting answer is put forward, albeit a little over-enthusiastically, by Harold Bloom in his book Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human. Bloom argues that Shakespeare gave us something in his writing that the world had not seen in literature before – characters with a strong personality. These lifelike characters give us a real 36 ______ into the human condition: Iago, the trusted advisor of Othello, whose jealousy of others leads him to betray his honest master; Rosalind, the heroine in As You Like It, who 37 ______ true to her friends and family in spite of the danger to herself. Through the mouths of such characters, we learn truths about life that we can all identify with. These truths are made more moving and more memorable by the way in which they are phrased – both succinctly and poetically.

Shakespeare has been dead almost 400 years, but the words and sayings attributed to him still 38 ______ the English language today. His plays also expanded on the audience’s vocabulary. So whether you are ‘fashionable’ or ‘sanctimonious,’ thank Shakespeare, who probably coined the terms. In fact, it is amazing just how great Shakespeare’s influence on everyday language has been.
