13、he city,which is also home to one of the citys fastest-growing communities.The nearby university has always meant the areas popular with students, who come in to enjoy the lively nightlife,but now graduates embarking on careers in the worlds of fashion and design are buying up the new apartments rec

14、ently built hereto replace the small houses where the market workers used to live.The narrow old side streets are great places for finding original pictures, jewellery and ceramics which wont break the bank, as well as local producelike fruit and vegetables.Theres also lots of pavement cafes where y

17、 judged by a panel of experts and fashion designers,and the winning entries will be modelled at a special gala evening.Parking at the Sheepmarket is easy.There are plenty of pay and display car parking spaces on the roadsides which are fine if you just want to stay for an hour or two,but if you want

18、 to spend the day there its better to park in one of the four underground car parks.Its not expensive and if you can present a receipt from one of the local stores, youll not be charged at all.After six pm many of the car parks have a flat rate which varies but it is usually very reasonable.The Shee

19、pmarket is one of the main centres for art and history in the whole of the country.If you look at our map, youll see some of the main attractions there.Most visitors start from Crawley Road, at the bottom of the map.The Reynolds House is one of the oldest houses in the city, and is open to the publi

24、you get to City Road youve gone too far.12-4-3Joe, you know Im giving a presentation in our film studies class next week Yes. Well, could we discuss it I could do with getting someone elses opinion.Of course, Katie. What are you going to talk about?Its about film adaptations of Shakespeares plays.Iv

25、e got very interested in all the different approaches that film directors take. Uhuh.So I thought Id start with Giannetti, whos a professor of film and literature, and in one of his books he came up with a straightforward classification offilm adaptations based on how faithful they are to the origin

26、al plays and novels.Right. Ive already made some notes on that, so I just need to sort those out before the presentation. I thought that next Id ask the class to come up with the worst examples of Shakespeare adaptations that theyve seen, and to say why. That should be more fun than having their fav

27、ourite versions.Yes, I can certainly think of a couple!Right. Next I want to talk about Rachel Malchow.I came across something on the internet about her work on film adaptations, and I was thinking of showing some film clips to illustrate her ideas.Will you have enough time, though Both to prepare a

28、nd during the presentationAfter all, I doubt if youll be able to find all the clips you want.Hmm. Perhaps youre right.OK, well, Id better do some slides instead, saying how various films relate to what she says.That should encourage discussion. Mmm.Next I want to say something about how plays may be

29、 chosen for adaptation because theyre concerned with issues of the time when the film is made.You mean things like patriotism, or the role of governments?Exactly. Its quite tricky, but Ive got a few ideas Id like to discuss.And finally I want to talk about a few adaptations that I think illustrate a

30、 range of approaches, and make some comments on them.Do you know the Japanese film Ran?I havent seen it. It was based on Shakespeares King Lear, wasnt it?Thats right. It was a very loose adaptation, using the same situation and story, but moving it to 16th century Japan instead of 16th century Brita

31、in.So for example the kings daughters become sons, because in Japanese culture at that time, women couldnt succeed to the throne.hope youre going to talk about that 1993 film of Much Ado About Nothing.I think thats one of the best Shakespeare films.It really brings the play to life, doesnt it? Yes, I agree. And I think filming it in Italy, where the play is set, makes you see what life was like at the time of the play. Absolutely. Right, whats next?Er, next, I thought Romeo And Juliet, the 1996 film, which moves the actioninto the present day.Y
