Unwanted Guests 

I hate early autumn. I hate its deep blue skies and late summer winds, its new plays and films, its alluring beauty. I hate it because it means one thing: houseguest season in New York. hat doesn't mean I can hunt them (I wish), but that they're here to visit. These guests never take on anuary's biting winds or the swelter of mid-August. They prefer to spoil the beautiful months. They want to torture me now. Since I oved to New York from England in 1989, I have become accustomed to chirpy midsummer calls setting up isits in the autumn. "It's been too long!" an old friend will begin. I know what's coming next: "So we thought we'd come to New York!" "Great!" I long to reply. Come for coffee. Fly in, fly out, I'm busy." And yet, because this man was my tennis partner in college or that woman gave birth to me, I agree to have them to stay, knowing, as I speak, the error of my ways. 

The truth is that houseguests have no place in New York City. More to the point, they should have no place but they usually do mine. Over the next three months, I have twelve people coming to stay. I feel like the manager at the Plaza, only less well dressed. It isn't that I'm mean. I know the pleasure found in staying with friends in Dallas or Seattle. I appreciate being collected from the airport and chauffeured around my friends' cities. I recognise the luxury in spreading out my clothes across the floor of a tidy spare room. 

But in New York there are few spare rooms. We live in tiny apartments. We rarely have cars. We work at jobs that don't permit leisurely lunches. More important, New Yorkers choose a pace that is exclusively our own, finding neighbourhoods and jobs and lovers to suit that style. Houseguests, with their lazy hometown ways, arrive in our apartments at a different speed. Like the specks of dirt that get stuck between the grooves of a CD, they interrupt the sound and rhythm of our days. 

As any adult with parents knows, nothing interrupts a life more than having your folks back in it. My parents, whom I love deeply from afar, are staying with me now. Because they travel like refugees, seemingly with their life's possessions, my apartment looks like a check-in desk at Miami airport over spring break. And it is my wife Sarah and I who feel like the travellers. While my parents sleep in the bedroom, we clamber over bags and wrestle with the springs of the sofa bed I chose for its lack of inviting comfort. As I watch the VCR's clock blink into the small hours, I can hear the snores from the bedroom's well-padded mattress. 

The daylight hours are yet worse. Houseguests claim they are keen to see how we live, yet they have no interest in which grocer's mango is 20 cents cheaper or where to find a dry-cleaner that will protect your buttons with foil. Instead, visitors expect to be presented with a New York that isn't our own. They want to take cabs, not subways; to meander along leafy streets, not be asked to jaywalk across four-lane avenues; to run into Woody Allen at the Carnegie Deli, not your chiropractor at the local diner. They want to know when the Circle Line leaves or which clubs offer techno on Mondays. If you don't know the answers, they look at you as if you don't belong. The truth, of course, is that New Yorkers take no interest in the things tourists crave. We want to know where our chiropractor buys his mangoes. 

2 

Occasionally, perfect houseguests do appear, stopping by for a night or two to show the others up. They pack lightly. They are not vegetarians or insomniacs. They like your cats. They buy wine and milk and don't have long showers on their holiday, at least not in your apartment. And they leave when they promise, or sooner. But they are rare. 

From next year on, I'm just going to say no. I realise that while it is said that houseguests, like fish, stay fresh for only three days, in New York their shelf life is much shorter. Like bagels, they need only a few hours before they become very stale indeed. (CAE Practice tests)

1 A 

DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT MINDSET? 

Think back to when you were in a classroom, maybe a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. (That could have been any time between this morning or a few years ago.) Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted? 

A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I'm not even going to seriously try and work it out. 

B: Ah, this is quite tricky but I like to push myself. Even if I don't get the answer right, maybe I'll learn something in the attempt.

SHARED BY ANGELS OF OTTO CHANNEL 

Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively, said they loved challenge and understood that their abilities could be developed. She says they had a 'growth mindset' and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a 'fixed mindset' and were unable to imagine improving. Some of these children said they might cheat in the future; others looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem. 

3 B 

Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable to failure. They become performance- oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not necessarily interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to praise the process that children are engaged in: making an effort, using learning strategies, persevering and improving. This way they will become mastery-oriented (i.e. interested in getting better at something) and will achieve more. She contends that sustained effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement. 

4 D 

Psychologists have been testing these theories. Students were taught that if they left their comfort zone and learned something new and difficult, the neurons in their brains would form stronger connections, making them more intelligent. These students made faster progress than a control group. In another study, underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than staggering. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning. 

So, back to our original question. If you answered B, well done - you already have a growth mindset. If A, don't worry; everyone is capable of becoming mastery-oriented with a little effort and self-awareness.

It is now generally recognized that stress is a major cause of heart disease and contributes to many other illnesses. Stress is increased by factors such as worry, overwork and lack of exercise or relaxation. It is just as important from a psychological point of view to relax than it is to take physical exercise. Relaxing does not necessarily mean just lazing about and doing nothing. The benefits of a weekend away or the diversity of sporting activities are considerable. If you are suffering from high stress levels, or wish to wind down after a trying day, it is generally advisory to have a change of scene. Because there are some individuals who thrive on stress, for most of us, it can lead to exhaustion, mood swings and even severe depression. KEY

Speaker 2: 00:19 Today, we have the Economist, Jim Bauer in the studio, Jim, according to the government's, women and Work commission, women are still earning 17% less than men. Now, the government has released new policies to tackle gender equalities in pay, but will they be enough? 

Speaker 3: 00:37 Well, according to the Faucet Society, under the current system, it will take about 80 years before women working full-time earn as much as their male counterparts, and 140 years before part-time female workers catch up with men.

But there is still room for improvement. 

Speaker 2: 

01:36 Do you think that the government is missing the point? 

Speaker 3: 01:39 Well, instead of closing the gap between wages of men and women in careers that require similar skill levels, the government is instead planning to spend 20 million pounds to raise the skill level of women working in these roles, encouraging them to change careers altogether. This policy will only reduce the available woman power in these lower paid jobs. What we have to do is revalue the kind of work that women are doing, such as cleaning, catering, and caring for others. We've got to value it more highly. 

02:13 Is it true to say the children cost mothers more than fathers? 

Speaker 2: 

Speaker 3: 02:16 According to the London School of Economics, mothers who returned to their previous jobs as part-timers quickly fell behind their male colleagues financially, and those that entered new jobs on a part-time basis did even worse. Currently, many companies still conform to stuffed shirt policies that have no openings for part-time workers in senior positions. This is forcing a large workforce of highly skilled and qualified women with young children out of the boardroom because they cannot deliver a 40 plus hour week and into jobs below their capabilities.

Tapescript part 2: That there was such a man as William Shakespeare is indisputable. There is plenty of commentary about him from the time. There is even a desk from the grammar school he attended in Stratford, bearing his name, carved by a boy, no doubt already dreaming of the worlds he would one day create. What is extraordinary is the length scholars and others have gone to in order to try and prove it was not he that penned the plays that earned him the epithet, the Immortal Bard. The movement to discredit him began in the mid 19th century. Who did they claim was the real writer? A favorite was Francis Bacon, a contemporary of Shakespeare, known as a politician and a philosopher. The main proponent of this theory was his namesake, Delia Bacon, who considered Viscount Bacon a far more noble figure and pointed out a number of similarities between the writings of Bacon and Shakespeare. These were extremely superficial, and she died insane in 1859, but the idea persisted for much longer. Other candidates for the post included Mary, Queen of Scots, who seems most unlikely since Elizabeth I had her beheaded before any of the plays were written. 

Also, Elizabeth herself was suggested, and Shakespeare's fellow playwright and friend Ben Johnson. Johnson actually wrote a verse for the first collection of Shakespeare's plays, praising him thus, I confess you thy writing to be such, as neither man nor muse can praise too much. He was not of an age, but for all time. Such proof was no barrier to the doubters, however. This praise, they said, was Johnson talking about himself. As late as 1947, a medium claimed in a book entitled Talks with Elizabethans, to have contacted Shakespeare, Bacon, and the 17th Earl of Oxford, an amateur poet and nobleman who lived in Elizabethan England. It was 

8 

the latter who was the true author, said the medium, and both Shakespeare and Bacon had admitted it. A little research would have shown him that the Earl died in 1604 before several of the major plays were written. Presumably, he wrote them from beyond the grave. Why did people go to such great lengths to muddy the name of the playwright? From the people chosen as alternative candidates, it seems most probable that their snobishness could not tolerate the fact that Shakespeare's background was a humble one. Only a noble one with blue blood in their veins, could produce such magic.

Shakespeare's father was a merchant, however. He grew up in a country town. He left school before he was even 16. The aristocracy and the lover of the aristocracy would have been horrified to think that this illiterate commoner was considered the genius of English letters. It was all to no avail, though, and such speculation has died a natural death. Where Shakespeare got his inspiration, gift and genius from will remain a mystery, as with all artists. Inspiration, after all, is magical and neither runs in the blood nor is taught in a classroom.
