Exercise 22

Some people like to see celebrities, but some celebrities don’t like walking along ordinary streets, or, at least, they don’t like to on any day of the year! There is, however, one place in England where none celebrity can avoid being seen by the general public: this is Madame Tussaud's, the famous waxworks museum in London.

Every day visitors go there to see some famous politicians, pop stars, actors, actresses and even some famous criminals.

These waxwork statues are so realistic that people even say some words to them, but of course they don’t wait any answer!

It takes some six months to create a lifelike wax model. And it’s very expensive, too!

In all, none of these statues costs less than £40,000 to make. Moreover, the museum is continuously updated.

When some famous person isn’t famous any more, they are taken out of the collection for a while.

If none visitor wants to see them again or complains about a statue, they melt the statue down and re-use the wax to make another one… Many celebrities only have short-lived fame, but some, a special few, have ever-lasting fame!

Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game everybody play the game of love

Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping trough my veins
Driving me insane
Play the game, play the game

Play the game, play the game
Play the game everybody…
