LESSON 4

Read the introduction to the article about Anthony Hopkins. Imagine his lifestyle.

Student A reads part I, student B reads part II. Tell your partner at least five things about his day.

Ex. He gets up very early, at 6.30.

The actor Sir Anthony Hopkins was born in Wales on December 31st, 1937. He won an Oscar in 1988 for The Silence of the Lambs. He lives in Chelsea, London, with his wife Jenni. They don‘t have any children

Part I.

Every day I get up at about 6.30. a.m., and I put on a tracksuit and go jogging for a couple of miles in the park. I go back home for breakfast. I have a grapefruit and an range. I never use public transport in London, and I walk for miles, to meetings, to the dentist‘s – everywhere.

In the mornings, even when I‘m not making a film I always do something. I usually spend at least 90 minutes learning the script for my next film. I use a highlighter pen to mark each line. It helps me remember the words. I never read a newspaper or listen to the radio because it‘s all bad news.

I usually have a sandwich for lunch. I eat very fast – I don‘t really enjoy any meals because I’m always restless. I‘m not good at relaxing. The only time I rest during the day is about 3.00 every afternoon when I have a 15-minute sleep.

Part II.

After my sleep I read the new scripts that people send me. I usually know after ten pages if they‘re good or not. Sometimes I do some shopping. We have a little RENAULT car, but I prefer walking. I like buying clothes, especially suits, by Armani or Cerruti.

My wife Jenni cooks in the evening, just a light dinner. I‘m a terrible cook. We go out perhaps once or twice a week. We usually meet friends and his wife. We hardly ever watch TV. I have a small television but it‘s in a cupboard. When we don‘t go out I play the piano after dinner, or listen to messages on my answerphone and call people back.

I go to bed at about 10.30. p.m. and go to sleep quickly. But I often wake up at 4.00 in the morning, and listen to the noise of London and think about the next day.

Read both parts. Find words which mean :

.------trousers and a jacket or sweater people wear for sport
------a large yellow fruit
------the text of a film or TV programme
------a coloured pen you use to mark important information
------always moving, never quiet
------trousers and a jacket that go together

Read the text again. Write true (T) or false (F). Correct the false ones. Then discuss your answers with a partner.

1. He lives in Hollywood. F

He lives in Chelsea.

2. He’s divorced and he has three children.

3. He worries about his health.

4. He doesn’t usually work in the morning.

5. He’s always interested in the news.

6. He has a sleep every afternoon.

7. He doesn’t like buying clothes.

8. He hardly ever watches TV.

9. He has a busy social life.

10. He sleeps well.

Is Anthony Hopkins a typical Hollywood star? Why? Why not?

Grammar Focus

What are underlined words in the text? What is their position in a sentence? Can you addmore of these words?

7. Study the diagram with the adverbs of frequency.

Adverbs

0%100%

never sometimes oftenusually always

Other phrases

We put the phrases at the end of the sentence (or the beginning).

Every (day, week, month, etc.)

Once, twice (a week, month, year)

Ex. We go swimming every day.

Once a month we go out for a meal.

Ex. I usually get up at 7.00.

He never comes late.

But :

I amalways busy.

We areusually tired in the evening.

8. Open the Internet address and study the rules about the use of the adverbs of frequency. Do the exercise to check your knowledge.
