For any paragraph thatlooks too short, decide what needs to be added, bychecking against the plan.How useful are sports players to our society? Do theyearn too much money? This essay will discuss thesequestions. If we consider the top sports players, it istrue that they are paid huge salaries. For example, thefootballer David Beckham earns millions with his club andthen he is paid more money to endorse the products ofvarious sports companies. I wish I could earn a milliondollars by wearing a pair of football boots! Sportsmentend to earn a lot more money than their femaleequivalents. In tennis, Martina Navratilova has won moretitles than the greatest male players but her earningsare probably significantly less. The most useful jobs insociety are those that help people: doctors make peoplebetter when they are sick and teachers prepare a newgeneration for entry into society. Perhaps the most usefuljob of all is that of the firefighter, who saves lives andproperty on a regular basis. Yet firefighters are paid verylittle and often have to do a second job to earn enoughmoney to live on. Other people in society apart fromsports players earn a lot of money. Some businessmen aremillionaires. Sport is undoubtedly one of our main forms ofentertainment today. Even if people don't go to livematches, they watch sport on television, either broadcastlive or the highlights afterwards. However, this doesn'tjustify such large salaries, in my opinion.4 The essay in exercise 3 opens with two ‘rhetorical’questions. Used sparingly, rhetorical questions canbe an effective way of introducing the topic orraising a new point in an essay. Turn these notes fortask B into rhetorical questions, starting with theword given and adding any other words necessary.12345so much sport broadcast Why ?in the best interests of sport Is ?effects of this on players What ?tickets sold at matches How many ?viewers cope with sport overload Can ?5 Look back at the Style extra on time adverbials(page 15).

We mademistakes and now we are establishing several plansthat will control the development of newskyscrapers and deal with the problems they havecreated.’ Shanghai has been rising faster andhigher than any city in the history of the world, butthis is proving too much for the ground beneath tobear. ‘Shanghai’s ground condition is very soft,’says architect Kuo-Liang Lee. ‘The rock bed isabout 300 metres from the surface and theunderground water table is higher, only 1.5 metresat most from the surface. There are now more than4,000 buildings over 100 metres tall in Shanghai.That results in extremely severe ground settlement.’This is just one of the reasons why Wu Jiang andhis colleagues are trying to halt the annexation ofShanghai’s skies. Other factors are dearth ofgreenery, serious pollution, inadequate transportand overcrowding on the streets of the city. Amongthe planned solutions are a metro system, a hugemotorway network and an attempt at massivegreening of the choking and dusty streets.Several of the existing skyscrapers are among thetallest human constructions ever built and some ofthem are also among the most impressive inarchitectural terms. The 420-metre-high Jin MaoTower, for example, is an extraordinary skyscraper,emblematic of the successful mingling of westernand eastern styles. It reflects Chinese pagoda design,unit 9 Cambridge University Presswww.cambridge.org

Thomas Chow, co-director of the Shanghai-basedSurv architecture and design practice, recentlypresented a paper to the Shanghai Design Biennaleentitled ‘Five Ways to Ruin a City’. In it, he suggestedthat the city’s ill-considered and rapid growth hadmade it barely habitable. ‘In downtown Lujiazhui inPudong, the scale is hostile and everything appears tohave been enlarged on a photocopier; towers aretowering, boulevards are 12 lanes wide (anduncrossable), without any relationship to human scale,ABCDEFGHIJbecause of its hybrid architectural style.for failing to slow down construction rates.to improve the city’s infrastructure.because of its impact on public transport.with half of these living downtown.to persuade city dwellers to relocate.for being alien to residents’ needs.because of the subsidence caused.to negate its effect on pollution levels.due to its lessening of Shanghai’s identity.Style extra7Study the way these linking words are used in thepassage.

Worse yet, he argued,Shanghai’s character was being obliterated in favour ofcheap and tacky design solutions without creativity orsoul. In Chow’s view, ‘The market’s rapid pace ofwholesale importation of foreign imagery has resultedin a scary, perverse and at times ridiculous trend ofturning modern cities into Disney-lands. The urbanlandscape is being littered with wholesale copies andreplications of foreign styles.’Wu Jiang wants to change all that. He talks excitedly ofreducing plot ratios and making central Shanghai greenand pleasant. ‘If we want Shanghai to be the best cityin the world, it’s impossible to carry on with this kindof building. You can’t reduce that density throughpolitical power. You have to make it attractive forpeople to leave and live in new cities nearby.’ And so,on the outskirts of Shanghai, connected by massivenew motorways and rapid transit railways, ten newcities, each of one million people and each with tensatellite towns of 200,000 people, are being built.One, New Harbour City, will have the biggest docksin the world; another, An Ting, will be a huge carmanufacturing city; a third, called Song Jiang, willbe a university centre.60657075Thus Shanghai hopes to build itself out of the problemthat it has built itself into.
