TEXT A THE HISTORY OF GRAFFITI 1 Graffiti has a long and proud history. The subculture surrounding graffiti has existed for several decades, and it is still going strong. The graffiti artists are passionate, skilled, community-orientated, and socially conscious in ways that profoundly contradict the way they have been portrayed as common criminals and vandals. 5 2 Graffiti, if we define it as any type of writing on the wall, goes back to ancient Rome. But the style of urban graffiti that most people have seen and know about, the kind that uses spraycans, came from New York City in the late 1960s, and was born on the subway trains. Taki 183, who lived on 183 rd street in Washington Heights, worked as a messenger who travelled 10 throughout the city. While he did so, he would use a marker and write his name wherever he went. Eventually, he became known throughout the city as this mysterious figure. In 1971, he was interviewed for an article by the New York Times. Kids all over New York, realising the fame and notoriety that could be gained from “tagging” their names on subway cars, began to 15 emulate Taki 183. The goal was to have one’s name in as many places as possible, and as kids competed against each other to become famous, the amount of graffiti on trains exploded. 3 Graffiti writers, in addition to getting their names around as much as possible, would try to outdo each other in terms of style. At first, writers would try to 20 make their tags (or signatures) more stylish than anyone else’s. Later on, they would add more colours, special effects, and they would make their names bigger. Spraycans allowed large pieces of graffiti to be created fairly quickly which was important because writers did not want to get caught by the police or people working for the Metropolitan Transit Authority. 25 4 The “style wars” in the 1970s between graffiti artists trying to become famous and creating bigger and better pieces resulted in the emergence of an entire subculture surrounding graffiti. Graf writers would gather at what they called “writers’ benches” at subway stations to look at each other’s sketchbooks and to watch as trains passed by so they could discuss the latest pieces they or 30 other writers had recently produced.

The 70s was the golden age of subway graffiti, but for the Metropolitan Transit Authority, it was a 35 problem that had long gone out of control. Graf writers did not just battle each other in their quest to be the “King of all Lines” and all the other titles they bestowed upon themselves. They had to deal with police patrolling the trains and the yards where they worked, their masterpieces being washed off cars, barbed fences, and guard dogs, not to mention concerned parents who 40 sometimes did not understand. 6 What these kids did, was to find a way to express themselves creatively in a society that told them they did not have the talent or drive. They came from ghettos that many said were devoid of culture. Graffiti and hip hop in general proved the world wrong. The graf writers, rappers, DJs, and break dancers 45 proved that they could create something beautiful that required skill and dedication, something that contributed to the city, even if people did not always understand what it was all about. They expressed their identity in a society that tried to keep them anonymous, that tried to ignore social problems as if they did not exist. 50 7 With heightened security in the 80s, subway graffiti slowly died out. In 1989, the last train with significant amounts of graffiti on it was taken off the lines, ending an era. But graffiti lives on, on city walls and other more unlikely places. Graffiti has also become a way to make money. Graffiti art has been featured in exclusive galleries and has exerted its influence on the world of 55 graphic design. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see graffiti-style art on t-shirts, posters and CD covers.

Read the passage (TEXT C) below and list SEVEN points that you will include in your speech. INSTRUCTIONS 1. List SEVEN points in full sentences using NO MORE than 70 words. 2. Number your sentences from 1 to 7. 3. Write only ONE point per sentence. 4. Use your OWN words. 5. Indicate the number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your summary. TEXT C HOW TO KEEP TRAINING INTERESTING Whether it is an 800 m, an ultra-marathon or an extreme course through the Rocky Mountains, Florian Neuschwander, winner of Germany’s 2015 Wings for Life World Run, will take it on. In this article he shares his tips on how to keep training interesting. Never run the same route twice. Running is about discovery. If you take a route you have never run before, the time passes a lot more quickly than if you always do the same route. As well as changing the scenery, you can use social media to add zing to your routine. Arrange to meet people you do not know and go running with them via Facebook. Another way to keep training interesting is to run to the spot where you will meet the other runners and then, after training, you can run home too. Running is not just a spare-time activity. Running is a cheap and healthy means of transportation too. Run to work or to visit friends. After all there are showers everywhere. Rather than be put off by really long distances, take the train or bus, get off halfway, and then run from there. Use Google Earth to look up the appropriate route home and in this way you will stumble across places you have never been to before. People who travel a lot for work should be able to find wonderful running options. Do not be scared to combine training with your daily routine. There is room for a pair of trainers in any suitcase.
