A Woman Obsessed
Ellen MacArthur has been welcomed home by huge crowds after sailing solo around the world in record time. (A) _____. 28-year-old MacArthur battled storms and high winds for much of the 44,000-kilometre journey. She finally completed her voyage in 71 days 14 hours 18 minutes and 33 seconds, beating the existing record by 33 hours.
I met up with her the day after her return and we went to see her boat. ‘She talks,’ says Ellen with complete sincerity. ‘She talks to me.’
This is why she risked her life and sanity to become the fastest person ever to sail alone around the world: not fame or money or even winning, important though that is to her. (B) ______.
Her boat, named B &Q after her sponsors, is 23m long and 15m wide, the cabin is no more than 2.5m by 1.5m. It contains a bunk, a chart table, twin computer screens and navigational equipment, a single gas burner and a sink the size of a large bowl. That’s it. No toilet (just a bucket), no shower, no comforts except a cuddly toy or two. (C) _____.
Did you ever get lonely, I ask. ‘No,’ she says without hesitation. She is also dismissive of fear. ‘Often you don't know what's going to happen when there's a big storm coming so, when you're actually in it, it's better. Then you can get on and do what you have to do.’
Apart from breaking the time set by Francis Joyon last year, MacArthur is only the second person ever to sail solo non-stop around the world on a multi-hull boat. Six times more people than that have stood on the Moon. More than 1800 have climbed Everest. And four men, all great sailors, have already tried and failed to match the feat of Joyon. (D) _____.
‘That's the common misconception, that it's all down to size and muscle,’ says Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world. ‘Single-handed sailing is really all about the mind.’
Knox-Johnston, 65, sailed into the record books in 1969 when he became the first person to sail non-stop around the world alone in his 10m wooden yacht, Suhaili.
(E) _____. ‘You need to be able to focus, deal with things alone and have incredible levels of self-discipline. If you don't have an extreme mental toughness, you probably won't survive,’ he adds.
The technology has changed greatly since Knox-Johnston’s day. Now you can watch what happens on board via cameras, listen to audio links and communicate by email. (F) _____. He used an old-fashioned sextant to work out his position and made crude weather predictions with a barometer taken from a local pub.
Today, sailors use GPS positioning for accurate plotting of their exact location and get highly accurate weather forecasts from their team onshore. However, as the veteran yachtsman says: ‘If we'd had all the modern equipment, it would have saved us time but rescue is still not guaranteed and the hazards remain the same. I don't think the challenge is any less, it's just different. The course is the same.’
II. a) Read the text and choose the topics mentioned.
1. Ellen’s achievement
2. Her attitude to her boat
3. Her love life
4. Her boat’s facilities
5. The qualities a solo sailor needs
6. The costs of the voyage
7. The differences between sailing in 1969 and today.
II. b) Each of the following sentences comes from the text. Read it again and decide where each one should go.
1. Ellen, standing at just 1.6m tall, is the first to succeed.
2. He finished in 312 days.
3. She tells me she washed twice on the trip, once in a rainstorm and once using some of her fresh drinking water.
4. This is very different to the early days of single-handed sailing when Sir Robin Knox-Johnston lost the use of his radio and therefore all contact with the outside world.
5. What matters is living as one with her boat and the sea.
6. This achievement establishes her as possibly the greatest sailor Britain has ever produced.
ment upon one of the following statements:
1. Cinema can help a lot in the field of education.
2. Once Stravinsky said: “I never understood a piece of music in my life, I always only feel”. Do you think the impact of films and music on the audience is comparable?
3. The most important thing about successful leadership is knowing how to get on with people. From your point of view, is leadership a natural born talent or a learned skill? What qualities does a successful leader need? Does every group need a leader?
Write your opinion on one of the following statements. Use 200-250 words in an appropriate style.
