THE DESIGNER "But why do you want to be a fashion designer? You could go to any university in the country with the grades you’ve got and you want to go to fashion school?" Tanya bowed her head further over the piece of silk she was working on and continued to sew the small bright beads onto the fine cloth with quiet determination. She knew her father was exasperated with her decision but it wasn’t going to affect her resolve in any way. He could question her over and over and insist on the ridiculousness of the idea but she was going to be a fashion designer no matter what. It was all she had ever wanted to do. Tanya thought back to when she had first picked up a needle and thread. Her grandmother, like many women of her generation, had made most of her own clothes and when Tanya was very small she had loved to watch her cutting the cloth and stitching it together with meticulous skill. Bit by bit, under her grandmother’s careful instruction, she had learned the craft herself. She had started with simple outfits for her dolls and had progressed to the point where even her grandmother said she was much better than her at making clothes. Once she had mastered the basic skills Tanya had become adventurous and started designing her own creations. She had a wild sense of colour and liked to make clothes that stood out for the contrast in the colours, patterns and the different types of cloth that she used. There was no doubting her creativity. Her art teacher at school had nothing but praise for her talent and encouraged her to develop it further. But not everyone was quite as sympathetic to Tanya’s dream of becoming a star in the world of fashion. Her brother Dmitri, for one, did not make any attempt to hide his contempt for her obsession with fashion. As far as he was concerned, clothes were just something you threw on in the morning before going out into the outside world. As long as they were clean and didn’t have holes in them that was all that mattered. He regarded anyone who paid attention to fashions and trends as simply a victim of peer pressure and advertising. Dmitri was very fond of telling her that anyone with any sense or intelligence would put their energy into doing something that mattered in the world, like becoming a scientist. He sounded just like her father. But she wouldn’t listen. Her mind was already made up. She had been offered a place at one of the most prestigious schools of Art and Design in the country and nothing would deter her from taking her place there. Contrary to what some people thought, she wasn’t a fool and she knew the road to, fulfilling her dreams would be a long, hard one. She had a plan mapped out and she was going to follow it through. Fortunately, she did have support within the family. Her grandmother never failed to boast about her talent to anyone who would listen, and her mother, although she didn’t make a song and dance about it, was also proud of her. Tanya looked up from her work and gazed into her father’s troubled face. She smiled at him. “You know, dad, we’ve had this conversation countless times now," she said gently, "and the thing is, underneath it all you know I’ve made the right decision for my life. This is what I’m good at. So, let me ask you one thing. What would you rather I did with my life? Something that gives me a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment or something that would make me unhappy, perhaps for the rest of my life?” Her father’s face brightened and he chuckled. "Well, one thing is for certain," he said, "no one could ever accuse you of lacking confidence in your own abilities, and that is definitely a good thing. You know I only want the best for you." She nodded. "I know you do and this is what’s best for me." He patted her on the shoulder and walked back to his chair to read the paper. Question 10: Tanya’s father was annoyed because...... A. she didn’t get good grades at school. B. she refused to answer his questions. C. she wanted to drop out of school, D. she wouldn’t change her plans.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL In the beginning, I put it down to a simple case of exam nerves. My daughter Sarah had just turned sixteen and was studying hard for her GCSEs. I knew she’d do well, as she was top of the class in all her subjects at school and had always been a high achiever. But as the time for the exams drew nearer, her behaviour started to change - drastically. Sarah became sullen and withdrawn. She wasn’t the lively teenager I knew. But the most worrying thing of all was that she was hardly eating anything. She refused to eat with the rest of the family and was having only light snacks in her room. At the time I didn’t want to make a big deal of it, as I thought I’d just make her more anxious about her exams. I was convinced that once she’d taken the exams, she would soon settle down and everything would get back to normal. But it didn’t. In fact, it got worse. By the middle of the summer, Sarah had become very skinny and pale. She also had wild mood swings, bursting into tears or becoming enraged by the slightest thing. I should say at this point that my initial reactions to this situation weren’t very helpful. We had huge fights about her being too thin and I tried to persuade her to eat more, but she just turned her nose up at everything I offered her. When nothing I said or did seemed to make any difference, I really felt at a complete loss about what else I could do or who I could turn to. I was desperate. After a lot of thought I realised that I would have to try other tactics. Screaming and tearing my hair out were definitely not improving the situation. I started by looking up eating disorders on various websites, to get as much information as I could, and what I found out almost scared me to death. Anorexia nervosa is a condition that typically affects teenage girls. There are a variety of reasons as to why it can develop, but it is usually said to be because of a distorted body image and lack of self-esteem. Some young women think they are too fat, even when they are not, and feel that they are unattractive or worthless. The media have been accused of playing a role in the rise of eating disorders in recent years, because of the way they portray women. Using underweight models in adverts in glossy magazines and on television may be a factor in encouraging young women to equate thinness with beauty, glamour and success. I was shocked to discover that this disease can seriously damage the heart and make bones brittle and easy to break. However, the most frightening aspect of the condition is that in 10% of cases it leads to the death of the sufferer. The information was terrifying, but it helped me to come to terms with the fact that someone with a severe eating disorder needs love and support and urgent medical attention. It took a lot of calm and gentle persuasion to get my tearful daughter to agree to go with me to a doctor who specialises in eating disorders. That was two years ago and the road to recovery has been long and hard. Sarah spent two months in hospital to get her weight back to normal and since then she has been seeing a psychiatrist to help her deal with the underlying causes of the problem. It was tough for me, too. I felt very guilty about her illness - that somehow it was my fault, and I was a bad mother who had caused her daughter so much anxiety she had started to starve herself. But we’ve managed to get through it together. Now Sarah is looking forward to starting university, the colour has returned to her cheeks and she is back to being the vibrant young woman she was before the whole dreadful nightmare started.
