Read the following passage about the history of the selfie and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
When did the selfie mania begin? Most people would guess that it was around the beginning of this
century or perhaps a bit later when smartphones became mainstream. But most people would be wrong, just as
Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were wrong when they declared on Twitter in 2017 that they had invented the
selfie eleven years previously. In fact, they were around 167 years too late to make that claim.
The oldest existing selfie dates back to 1839 when photographer Robert Cornelius took a self-
portrait photograph of himself. To achieve this, he had to uncover the lens, run to his place and pose in the
same position for up to fifteen minutes and then run back to cover the lens again. Cornelius couldn’t take a
dozen shots and choose the best one – his selfie had to be just one photo. Half a century later, in 1914, thirteen-
year-old Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia took a picture of herself in a mirror and became the
first teenager to take a selfie.
And what about the origin of the word itself? It is thought to come from Australia where people have a
habit of putting -ie on the end of words – barbie for barbecue, postie for postal worker and even Aussie for
Australian. In 2002, an Australian man took a photo of an injury to his lip and put it up on a public forum to ask
for advice on how to treat it. He referred to the photo as a selfie, and the term was born. Selfie became Oxford
Dictionaries’ word of the year in 2013.
So, why do we take so many photos of ourselves? A 2017 study into ‘selfitis’, as the obsessive taking of
selfies has been called, found a range of motivations, from seeking to feel more part of a group to shaking off
depressive thoughts and – of course – capturing a memorable moment. Since we live so much of our lives
online, there is pressure to present good quality images, and so it is no surprise that airbrushing apps that enable
people to retouch images and present an idealised version of themselves are gaining popularity.

Read the following passage about stars of the vlogsphere and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Helicopters circled the sky above Piccadilly Circus as the police officers below struggled to control the
thousands of fans on the streets outside the bookstore. Who were the thousands of fans waiting for? That latest
pop sensation? No, a 'vlogger' - a video blogger.
What makes vloggers so popular? Successful vloggers share some common characteristics. [I] They are
outgoing, quick-witted and spontaneous in front of their webcams. There is also a lot of interaction with the
audience and feedback on their videos. [II] This means vloggers can adapt the content of their videos to keep
their viewers happy. [III] It is material that is made by young people for young people without any intrusion
from media corporations. [IV] All these ingredients have created a two-way relationship between vloggers and
their subscribers, based on shared interests and trust that cannot be found between the providers and users of
other media.
However, it appears that those shared interests and that trust might become negatively affected by
money. Some of the big-name vloggers can earn up to £20,000 for displaying an advertisement on their
channel. They also earn a lot for mentioning or reviewing a product in a vlog. About 1,000 vloggers around the
world earn at least £100,000 a year from their YouTube income. And profits are sometimes earned at the
expense of honesty.
So, will vlogs go the way of many TV programmes and films? Not according to the vloggers, who
emphasise their creative independence over making money. However, Zoella, one of the few vloggers in the
public eye in Britain, caused a scandal after publishing a book and claiming that it had always been her dream
to write a novel. Shortly later, she had to admit that she had not written it alone and her name was just being
used to sell it. Many media experts saw it as a sign that vlogging had lost its innocence and that large media
corporations were taking control.
