b) Correcta
Udane lo resume así: «Being a comedian is the most fun and depressing lifestyle that I could possibly imagine». Después cuenta lo bueno (actuar ante cientos de personas) y lo malo («comedy also isolates you from a lot of people»), que es lo que recoge la segunda opción.
c) Descartada
No compara la profesión con lo que esperaba: la única vez que aparece «imagine» es en un superlativo («the most fun and depressing lifestyle that I could possibly imagine»), no en una comparación con lo que esperaba.

c) Correcta
Udane cuenta que dejó de ir a bares con sus amigos porque «all I could think about was how silly it was that everyone considered going out like that to be the highlight of their week». Para ella es una tontería que todos lo vean como lo mejor de la semana, y eso es lo que expresa la tercera opción.

Transcripción oficial del audio

Interviewer: Men have dominated stand-up comedy for a long time. But as women have come to the stage more often, one kind of performance has been hard not to notice: pregnant comedians popping up on high-profile comedy specials, late-night shows, and in clubs. Udane Castle, a pregnant comedian based in Boston, is with us today to talk about this phenomenon. Hi, Udane! Let’s start from the beginning: what is it like to be a stand-up comedian?

Udane: Good evening! I am thrilled to be here. Being a comedian is the most fun and depressing lifestyle that I could possibly imagine. I get to perform in front of hundreds of people and work with some of the funniest people in the world. It's the biggest rush that I've ever felt, and at times it is totally crazy to think about what I do and who I do it with. But comedy also isolates you from a lot of people. You spend all day looking at the world to find out what's funny or weird about it rather than just living in the moment and enjoying social experiences. A couple of years ago, for example, I stopped going to clubs or bars with my friends, because all I could think about was how silly it was that everyone considered going out like that to be the highlight of their week.

Interviewer: What about when you’re on stage? What does it feel like?

Udane: Everything has to be perfect. Your tone, your rhythm, your cadence, and especially your timing. You have to be charming and charismatic even though you don’t know any of the people in front of you. You have to connect with that room full of strangers. All while those spotlights are cooking you. You have no idea how much they make you sweat.

Interviewer: You are pregnant now. Do you use your pregnancy as a topic for your stand-ups?

Udane: I do! In comedy, pregnancy is no longer seen as something that gets in the way of the act and the microphone stand. In fact, a baby on the way is now a rich source of stand-up material: stretch marks, placentas and all!

Interviewer: Tell us about your models—the people you look up to. Where have you found inspiration so far?

Udane: I love Ali Wong’s monologues—she has done two Netflix specials while pregnant. She is hilarious when she talks about lactation consultants and diapers. I also really like Kara Klenk, a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles.

Interviewer: Is this something new? What was it like before?

Udane: It is. Let me tell you just a couple of examples. When Joan Rivers, who is considered a pioneer of women in comedy by many critics, appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1967 she was carrying her daughter, Melissa. She was not allowed to say she was pregnant and was asked to wear a really uncomfortable dress to hide it. Also, just four years ago, Ophira Eisenberg, a comedian and the host of the comedy show “Ask Me Another”, said that some bookers had warned her that she might alienate her audience by talking about her pregnancy on stage.

Interviewer: What do you think has changed?

Udane: There is no comprehensive account of women in comedy, but comedians, club owners and bookers say there are more of them working today, even though they remain vastly outnumbered by men. And with women starting families later than they used to, female comics are now more likely to have established careers by the time they start having babies.

Interviewer: For women who have difficult pregnancies, I guess the travel often required for stand-up can be a real challenge. Do you know of any bad experiences so far?

Udane: Sadly, I do. Amy Schumer, a well-known comedian from New York, announced that she had to cancel the remainder of her tour last February. She had a pregnancy complication and was no longer allowed to fly. She wanted to push through and do her shows, but she had to prioritize her health and the baby’s.

Interviewer: Do you think this tendency will last?

Udane: I am not sure. As fun as it can be to play with expectations about maternal behavior and delicate pregnant ladies, many comics, including myself, look forward to the day that an expectant mom on stage is not unusual at all.

Enunciado oficial

DANCE LIKE YOU’RE IN BRIDGERTON, PLAY SQUID GAME: WHY ARE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES BOOMING?

Welcome to the age of immersion. Last summer saw the launch of Stranger Things and Tomb Raider “experiences” in London, and an Alice in Wonderland “immersive cocktail experience” in Sheffield. By September, fans were able to re-enact Netflix’s Squid Game at Immersive Gamebox venues in London, Essex and Manchester. In the coming weeks, London will also host an experience based on the horror franchise Saw, while Cheshire will see thousands visit Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience. And that’s without mentioning the boom in immersive art experiences, the most recent of which — Frameless — has just opened in central London.

The buzzword everyone will tell you is immersive-interactive. As a small number of companies dominate the cultural landscape, it seems that each wants to build its own mini-Disneyland. But why are we suddenly obsessed with stepping into the screen? In an increasingly dark world, are we seeking escapism? Or do we just want loads of cool Instagrammable pictures?

“It’s really driven by a desire to find new ways to connect with our members and fans around the world,” says Greg Lombardo, head of live experiences at Netflix. The streaming service lost almost a million subscribers between April and July last year after subscription fees increased by £1 a month. The company is seemingly diversifying its income — tickets to Stranger Things: The Experience cost £52 per person, £62 on a Saturday. “We really wanted to offer people a chance to feel like they were the hero of that story, that they had the powers,” Lombardo says. Guests are divided into different coloured teams and allocated a hand gesture they can use to remotely crush cans, unlock doors and battle monsters as they wander Stranger Things-inspired sets. The experience features exclusive footage from the show’s actors as well as live actors who interact with the audience. Why do more and more people seek this out? Lombardo says the Stranger Things experience attracts all ages, while guests of The Queen’s Ball — a party based on Netflix’s hit show Bridgerton — are 87 % women aged 18-45. It is a prom for adults and some people even join fan-created social media groups to discuss how to prepare for the event.

Elizabeth Cohen is a communications professor at West Virginia University who studies audience responses to different types of media. She says fans have always wanted to enter fictional worlds but the internet allowed them to get their voices heard. “I think the internet made ‘geeking out’ more mainstream,” she says. “And what is mainstream is also more profitable.” Cohen says immersion is psychologically gratifying because people connect with others, relieve stress and get creative. Just as we can both watch and play sports, Cohen says we can now watch and play with shows. Does this mean we’re big babies? “Sports fans often go to great lengths to dress up in support of their team, put on face paint, collect memorabilia,” Cohen says. “But I’ve never heard anyone suggest that sports fandom was infantilising, so why is there a double standard for pop culture?”

Millions have been invested into immersion, but some experiences are rougher around the edges than others. Many last an hour — meaning prices seem high when you consider a whole day ticket to Disneyland Paris can cost just £50. It remains to be seen whether they will attract repeat customers, or if they’ll quickly become associated with the forced fun of work socials and first dates. Or perhaps high inflation will only increase the desire to step into the screen. If you think about shows like Stranger Things or Bridgerton, they are escapist stories. They allow us to forget, for a moment, things that might be more challenging in our lives.

Do you ever look up from your phone and wonder where the afternoon went? Many of us lose three hours a day to scrolling, and most of that time leaves us tired rather than happy. So here are three ideas to break the habit.

First, try a team sport. Playing with friends gives you energy and, best of all, you cannot check your messages in the middle of a match. Second, make something with your hands: cooking, drawing or even repairing an old bike. You will be proud of what you have made, which is more than a social media feed can offer. Finally, arrange to meet friends face to face, perhaps for a hike.

Start small: leave your phone in another room for one hour tonight. You might discover a new passion. Tell me in the comments how it goes!

Qué pide la consigna

Pide una entrada de blog que anime a los jóvenes a hacer otras actividades interesantes para que usen menos el móvil, en 125–150 palabras. La redacción modelo abre con una pregunta que interpela al lector, propone tres alternativas (un deporte en equipo, algo hecho con las manos y quedar con amigos en persona) y cierra con un reto pequeño y una invitación a comentar, todo con el tono cercano propio de un blog.

Few of us would give up the freedom that air travel offers, yet its effect on the climate is undeniable. In my opinion, the solution is not to ban flying but to make it cleaner and fairer.

First, short flights should be replaced by trains wherever a good rail connection exists. Barcelona to Madrid takes only a few hours by high-speed train, with far less pollution. Governments should therefore invest in railways and stop giving aircraft fuel a tax advantage.

Second, people who fly most often should pay more. A family taking one holiday flight a year should not be treated like a frequent flyer. The extra money could fund cleaner aircraft.

In short, flying will remain part of modern life, but we must handle it responsibly. With better trains, fairer prices and new technology, we can enjoy the world without damaging it.

Hi Laura,

Guess what I did last Saturday? I went to the Stranger Things experience in London, and I still can’t stop thinking about it!

As soon as we arrived, we were split into coloured teams, and each of us was given a hand gesture that could crush cans or unlock doors. Then we wandered through sets that looked exactly like the ones in the series, while actors appeared out of the dark to interact with us. At one point I had to fight a monster, and I laughed so much that I could hardly concentrate!

The only downside was the price: £62 on a Saturday. Even so, it was worth every penny.

Why don’t we go together next month? You love the series, so I’m sure you would have a great time. Tell me which date suits you, and I’ll book the tickets.

Hugs,

Alex

Qué pide la consigna

Pide un correo a un amigo en el que expliques una experiencia en uno de los espectáculos inmersivos del texto de lectura y le propongas ir juntos pronto, en 125–150 palabras. La redacción modelo usa un registro informal (saludo y despedida cercanos, contracciones), cuenta la visita con detalles tomados del texto (los equipos de colores, el gesto con la mano, los actores) y termina con la propuesta concreta de ir juntos.
