#1. The producer decides what to do. (...9)

#2. Look may distract TV viewers. (...8)

#3. TV reporting is different from other news media. (...2)

#4. Many skills are required from TV reporter. (...4)

#5. Local reporters often do live stand-ups. (...3)

1. A successful television reporter needs to move swiftly from story to story, becoming an instant expert who’ll condense a confusing jumble of facts into 60 seconds of journalistic clarity. But that’s not all.

2. Reporting differs from all other news media.

3. You’ll talk into camera live without notes. Yes, anchors read from the script as they deliver news from the studio but the trend in local TV is for reporters to do live stand-ups from the news scenes as often a possible.

4. That requires grace under pressure, a rock-solid memory and fluid improvisational skills. Think it’s easy getting pounded by a hurricane as you describe the city’s evacuation plan.

5. Words are crucial, but images rule. TV viewers want to view TV. They want color, action, drama – not talking heads reciting lifeless facts. TV news isn’t just a newspaper with bonus video. To produce a successful newscast you need an entirely different mind-set, from news judgment to a storytelling techniques.

6. Print and radio reporters go solo to news events, but TV news relies on teamwork between you and your photographer. The stronger your visuals the better play your story will get.

7. Look professional. That usually means a jacket and a tie for men, a dress or suit for women. Wear solid colors; avoid stripes. If bright colors make your skin shine, add makeup. And don’t forget your hairspray.

8. If you have got bad hair, an ugly tie or a huge pimple on your nose, viewers will latch onto it and become distracted. That’s why you should try to eliminate all distracting flaws.

9. It’s the newscast producer’s job to decide how much air time each story deserves – and what format it should use.

10. For short, simple stories, an anchor simply reads the script; for longer, more complex topics, a reporter works with a producer, editor and photographer to produce a package.

Which part of the text does each statement refer to:

#1. In some countries the monarch has little real political power, though in others he/she holds much political power. (…) 3

#2. Democratic states with retained monarchy are becoming constitutional monarchies. (…)5

#3. The leadership of tribal chiefs reminds a very old form of government, the monarchy. (…)4

#4. Nowadays more than two dozens of monarchies exist in the world. (…)1

#5. The terms monarchy and royalty have got much in common. (…)2

1. A monarchy (from the Greek monos, "one", and archein, "to rule") is a form of government that has a monarch as Head of State. One of the distinguishing characteristics of monarchy is that the Head of State usually reigns for life; in a republic, the Head of State (often called the president) is normally elected for a certain amount of time. There are currently 29 extant monarchies in the world.

2. The term monarchy is also used to refer to the people (especially the dynasty, also known as royalty) and institutions that make up the royal or imperial establishment, or to the realm over which the monarch reigns.

3. In most monarchies, the monarch serves as a symbol of continuity and statehood. Many monarchies are constituted by tradition or by codified law so that the monarch has little real political power, but in others, the monarch holds substantial power.

4. Monarchies are one of the oldest forms of government, with echoes in the leadership of tribal chiefs. Many monarchies began with the Monarch as the local representative and temporary embodiment of the deity: (King of Babylon).

5. Since 1800, many of the world's monarchies have ceased to have a monarch and become republics, or become parliamentary democracies. Democratic countries which retain monarchy have by definition limited the monarch's power, with most having become constitutional monarchies.

6. In England, this process began with the Magna Carta of 1215, although it did not reach democratic proportions until after the Glorious Revolution in 1689.

Which part of the text does each statement refer to:

#1. A committee stage is a very important stage for the bill to become a law. (…)3

#3. The British Parliament is considered to have been the model for other parliamentary systems. (…)1

#4. One of the Houses of the British Parliament is known to be a body of unelected members. (…)2

#5. Some bills rarely become Acts of Parliament, especially when the term of the acting Parliament is put at stake and they originate in the Lords. (…)6

1. The British Parliament is often referred to as the "Mother of Parliaments" because it has been the model for most other parliamentary systems, and its Acts have created many other parliaments.

2. In the United Kingdom, Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch. The House of Commons is composed of over 600 members who are directly elected by British citizens to represent various cities, communities, and other electoral districts. The House of Lords is a body of long-serving, unelected members: 92 of whom inherit their seats and 574 of whom have been appointed to lifetime seats.

3. Legislation can originate from either the Lords or the Commons. It is voted on in several distinct stages, called readings, in each house. First reading is merely a formality. Second reading is where the bill as a whole is considered. Third reading is detailed consideration of clauses of the bill. In addition to the three readings a bill also goes through a committee stage where it is considered in great detail. Once the bill has been passed by one house it goes to the other and essentially repeats the process.

4. If after the two sets of readings there are disagreements between the versions that the two houses passed, it is returned to the first house for consideration of the amendments made by the second. If it passes through the amendment stage Royal Assent is granted and the bill becomes law as an Act of Parliament.

5. If an ordinary bill originates in the Commons the Lords can only block it for a maximum of one session of Parliament.

6. The exceptions to this rule are things like bills to prolong the life of a Parliament beyond five years. If a bill originates in the Lords then the Lords can block it for as long as it likes.

1. Youth courts are specialist magistrates' courts. They handle all but the most serious charges against people aged at least ten (the age of criminal responsibility) and under 18.

2. Young offenders can also be tried in an adult magistrates’ court or in a Crown Court, depending on the type of offence they have committed. Only Justices of the Peace who have been specially trained for the job can sit in youth courts. Proceedings are held in private.

3. The main custodial sentence for 12- to 17-year olds is the detention and training order. This is a two-part sentence that combines a period of custody with a period under supervision in the community.

4. There are a range of non-custodial penalties for young offenders. Those aged 16 or 17 may also be subject to most of the adult community sentences.

5. A new sentence, the referral order, was introduced in 2002 for young offenders convicted in court for the first time and pleading guilty. The court refers the young person to a youth offender panel, led by members of the local community, who agree a contract with the young person to repair the harm done and to prevent further offending.

6. Complementing non-custodial penalties for young offenders are:

-parenting orders, which may require a parent or guardian to attend, for example, counselling and guidance sessions;

7. -child safety orders, which place a child under ten who is at risk of becoming involved in crime or is behaving in an anti-social manner under the supervision of a specified, responsible officer.
