Sixto Rodriguez was an American singersongwriter from an immigrant Mexican family. He lived in the car-making city of Detroit. Rodriguez recorded two folk-rock albums in 1970 and 1971, Cold Fact and Coming from Reality. He sang poetic songs about prejudice and injustice, and his producers thought he could be famous like Bob Dylan. Unfortunately, his albums didn’t sell very well in the USA, and he eventually gave up his musical career. But Rodriguez was famous in another part of the world – and he didn’t know! In South Africa, he was more popular than The Rolling Stones and his albums sold 500,000 copies. For South Africans, Rodriguez was a pop music icon and his songs were an inspiration for the anti-apartheid struggle. But his fans didn’t know where he was. Many believed he was dead. And why didn’t Rodriguez know about this success? Because he didn’t receive any money from his record sales! In the 1990s, two South African fans decided to look for Rodriguez and find out more about him. Stephen ‘Sugar’ Segerman, a record shop manager, and Craig Bartholemew-Strydom, a music journalist, created a website dedicated to him. Then, in 1997, Rodriguez’s daughter Eva saw the website and got in touch. They found out he was alive and still in Detroit. Finally Stephen and Craig met their hero. Years later, Swedish film-maker Malik Bendjelloul met the two fans. He listened to their story and in 2012

made a documentary about their search. The film was called Searching for Sugar Man and it won an Oscar. So what did Rodriguez do in those lost years? He sang in bars, did manual work so his daughters could have an education, got involved in local politics, and in 1981 got a degree in philosophy. He also had some success as a singer in Australia and New Zealand and he toured there in 1979 and 1981. After his rediscovery in 1998, Rodriguez went to South Africa and did a sell-out concert tour to enthusiastic crowds. In 2013, after the film came out, a compilation of his songs sold well around the world. Although he is now in his 70s, Rodriguez is finally playing in the USA. It’s never too late to shine!

The USA is a nation of immigrants and, in recent decades, new immigrants have started coming from different parts of the world. And they are changing the face of the nation. So let’s meet some of the new young Americans. My parents came to New York for economic reasons when I was in elementary school. They worked very hard and now they own a drugstore. Academic achievement is the most important thing for my parents. They wanted me to study business and economics, but I love art! I tried business for a year, but it was terrible. So now I’m studying art and my parents are OK with it. These days, I only speak Korean with my grandmother. If you don’t think in Korean, you don’t think in the Korean way. Me? I think in English! I’m an American. And a Korean.

I live in Los Angeles. My neighborhood reminds me of Mexico. A lot of people play soccer in the street, and they speak Spanish so that’s easy for me! I speak Spanish at home, too. My parents came here from Mexico. They moved in difficult circumstances and life was very tough at first. But now they're American citizens and they're doing very well! I’m still in school. It’s good and my classmates are great. I’m studying hard. I want to have a profession and help the whole community, not just the Hispanic community. We’re all human beings, you know?

S unny, 21

I’m from Kenya. My parents moved to the US to get a better life. This is my third year here. Am I happy? 75% of the time. I mean, this is a great country. I live in an apartment in Dallas. It’s an amazing modern city! But I miss my friends, and the countryside and wildlife in Kenya – especially in the fall. And I sometimes have problems at college. Some people are ignorant and they don’t understand diversity. Diversity is great! I think that, in America, with hard work you can make your dreams come true. I want to become a judge. Sure, that’s a difficult ambition. But I want to make a difference.

My parents came here to New Jersey when I was ten. They worked hard back home, but they were poor. They wanted to live the American Dream and change their lives. And they did! My dad is a truck driver here and my mom is a nurse. I definitely have a better life here than in Albania. Speaking English was difficult for me at first, but now it’s natural. I like the way Americans do things, and the way they dress, think and talk. Sometimes I wake up and I think, ‘Wow! This is the USA! I’m living the dream!’

Elira, 18

My dad’s a college professor, teaching medicine. My mom’s a school principal. They met in India and came here for the great opportunities. I was only one at the time! Now I’m studying physics and math at college in Chicago. My mother misses her family a lot. I think she wants to go back to India. Do I want to stay here for the rest of my life? To be honest, I don’t know. The world is a big place! But this is a great country. You can succeed here with hard work. And that’s so cool!

It would be a difficult climb, but I really wanted to 10___ it. You never 11___ anything if you don’t try, right? I don’t say it was a bad decision, but it was a 12___ climb. The path was icy and slippery and a lot steeper than I had imagined, so we 13___ very slow progress up the mountain. As we climbed higher, the air started to get thinner and it became quite a 14___ to breathe. I had a bad cold so I had to stop every few metres to blow my nose. Luckily, our guide, Kumar, was very 15___, and helped and encouraged us up to the top. Later I 16___ that not all guides were so helpful. On the way down we came across a collapsed trekker from another group whose guide was nowhere to be seen! Kumar stopped to give him first 17___ and called the mountain rescue team to come and fetch him off the mountain. Thanks to our guide Kumar, 18___ in our group made it safely back to base. People now take extra care on this trek after severe snowstorms and avalanches killed more than 40 climbers on the mountain in October 2014. Jake Oswald

PART 4: KEY WORD TRANSFORMATIONS

TiP

Word formation

Always read the whole text first to get an idea of the general meaning. Then look carefully at the words before and after each gap to work out what kind of word is needed – a noun, adjective, verb, adverb. You may need to add prefixes or suffixes, or make internal changes to the word given. You may need a plural or a negative.

5 Complete the text with the correct form of the word in capitals at the end of the line. MY FRIEND ELLIE This is a 1___ of my best friend Ellie. Ellie is a kind, caring person who is 100% 2___ – you know you can count on her to be there for you when you need something. She’s a really 3___ person – she never minds giving up her time to help you even when she’s very busy. She’s also a really good 4___, and I think that’s why she is so good at giving 5___. Also, you can have a really good 6___ with her on almost any subject. Some people say that our 7___ reflects our character. In some ways that’s true for Ellie – for example people say her 8___ is obvious from her high forehead. In other ways it’s not true at all, though. For example, she often looks a bit untidy, which might suggest she’s a 9___ person, but actually she isn’t at all. As for clothes, her taste is like mine. She likes trendy, 10___ clothes, but she isn’t afraid to look different.

Key word transformations

Think of what different grammatical structure or expression is needed in the second sentence to give the same meaning as the first. Look carefully at the words before and after the gap, and the word in capitals, to decide details like what the verb tense should be and whether it is singular or plural.

6 Complete the second sentence with two to five words so that it means the same as the first. Use the word given in capitals. 1 The last time I saw Vikram was in January. I have _________ January. 2 Rae has thrown her old school books away. Rae has _________ her old school books. 3 The butter in the fridge is almost finished. There _________ butter in the fridge. 4 It isn’t necessary for Daisy to go to every class. Daisy _________ to every class. 5 Mr Thomson is the history teacher. You know his daughter.
