PLAYING VIDEOGAMES ONLINE

For the stars of the streaming service Twitch, success means working around the clock.

One humid morning this past summer, Omeed Dariani drove his
black Tesla sedan through the foothills east of San Diego,
looking apprehensive. Dariani is the founder and C.E.O. of
Online Performers Group, a talent-management company
___(0)___, who broadcast their game play and commentary live
over the Internet. He is thirty-eight, with a dry, ironic wit and a
nervous habit of twirling his goatee, which is rapidly going gray;
his clients are, for the most part, young, boisterous, and
unpredictable. That day, he was on his way to meet the
streamer Roberto Garcia, who was supposed to be at home but
had instead ___(1)___ to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday.
Dariani’s speedometer crept toward ninety miles per hour. “We
just need to get there before he starts to drink,” he said.
Garcia, known online as Towelliee, is a star broadcaster on Twitch, a streaming platform
whose popularity has turned recreational gaming into an improbably viable career. Each
month, a hundred million visitors watch their favorite personalities play video games on Twitch,
spending an average of nearly two hours a day there. This audience is large enough to make
the site one of the twenty most trafficked in the U.S. With viewership numbers that rival those
of MSNBC or CNN, Twitch is less like a conventional Web site than like a kaleidoscopic
television network: thousands of channels at once, broadcasting live at every hour of the day.
Shortly before noon, Dariani ___(2)___and handed his keys to a valet. He strode inside, eyes
scanning the acres of slot machines. Though Dariani is chummy and non-judgmental with
clients, he’s seen enough drunk streamers fall off balconies at industry parties to inspire an
almost parental anxiety. He glanced at his phone, and then showed me an eclectically
punctuated text from Garcia. “That’s probably not a good sign of sobriety,” he said. Yet when
Garcia appeared—bearded, stout, and wearing aviator sunglasses—he was convivial but
composed. “I just watched my girlfriend lose nine hundred dollars in about three minutes,” he
announced cheerfully.
Garcia led us up to the casino’s Presidential Suite, where his girlfriend, Aracely, was waiting at
the bar. When Garcia started streaming, in 2010, he’d recently been laid off from a quality-
assurance job at a pharmaceutical-software company; he and Aracely ___(3)___. Game
broadcasting was new, and the business model all but nonexistent. Still, Garcia thought that
he could make it work, so he sat Aracely down to convince her. “Imagine telling your girlfriend,
‘I’m going to stop looking for a job and play video games for a living’,” he told me.
Game streaming, Garcia discovered, required non-stop work. The only way to attract viewers,
and to prevent the ones you had from straying to other broadcasters, was to be online
constantly, so he routinely ___(4)___. “That’s what I had to do to grow the viewership,” he said.
His ankles swelled from sitting at his computer. His weight grew to four hundred and twenty
pounds.
INGLÉS – NIVEL AVANZADO C1 – CONVOCATORIA 2020 – MODELO A Página 4 de 22
Garcia’s specialty is the multiplayer fantasy game World of Warcraft. While he isn’t its best
player, he has a knack for talking entertainingly over his play: he is funny, brash, and filled with
stories about his delinquent childhood in Newark. After a year of broadcasting, he had a
steady audience of seven hundred, but he was still desperately broke. During a stream, he
___(5)___. One sent him fifteen hundred dollars—a gift that reduced Garcia to tears.
Six years later, Garcia makes several times that amount on a good day. Since 2011, he has
been one of Twitch’s “partners,” an élite group that includes some twenty-five thousand
streamers, of the 2.2 million active on the site. His streaming schedule has ___(6)___, though
it remains arduous: sixty hours a week, no days off except occasional Saturdays. He has
devoted nearly thirty thousand hours to World of Warcraft. “I’m a grinder, man,” he told me.
To sponsors, Twitch offers a novel opportunity: access to a generation that resists traditional
advertising media but is ___(7)___ . Young people watch game streaming in huge numbers.
“This year, Towelliee’s viewers have watched five hundred and ninety-four years of his
content,” Dariani said.

statement. Write the letter in the corresponding box on the right. Question 0 has been
completed as an example.

SPLASHATORIUM
In what is being hailed as a ground-breaking discovery in the study of classical civilization, historians
at Harvard University published findings Thursday that show the aqueducts were but a small part of
a vast, sophisticated system of water parks that once spanned the Roman Empire.
In a paper appearing in the Journal of Roman Studies, the historians write that the ancient
aqueducts are all that remain of a much larger infrastructure of recreational water slides, the first
sections of which were built in 312 B.C. when a Roman censor decreed all citizens of the Republic
deserved access to fun-filled aquatic adventures the whole family could enjoy. Known in antiquity as
the Splashatorium, the system was reportedly expanded over the course of five centuries until it
stretched from modern-day Spain to Asia Minor.
“We now know the primary purpose of the aqueducts was to supply fresh water to winding wet
mazes full of twists, turns, and heart-stopping drops,” said the paper’s lead author, Emma Dench,
explaining that Romans 48 inches or taller could flop down on a centurion shield they grabbed from
a pile at the top of the stairs and use it to bank along the curves of a downward-sloping network of
terra-cotta pipes. “Nowhere else in the ancient world does one find such a highly developed series
of splash-tacular high-speed rides.”
Dench added, “It would appear the lives of Romans in this period were far wetter’ n’ wilder than has
been previously documented.”
In a recently uncovered text from the first century B.C., author and architect Vitruvius describes the
remarkable feats of engineering underpinning the hundreds of miles of water slides, which were
based upon the rudimentary sprinkler systems and slip-‘n’-slide technologies found in the meadows
of ancient Greece. His writings suggest the advancement of fun in the sun was a point of civic pride
for the Romans, who diverted a small stretch of the Tiber to create history’s first lazy river ride,
allowing patricians and plebeians alike to drift around the city’s perimeter while relaxing on a
floatation device made from inflated ox bladders.
Though most of the water rides have been lost to time, an archeological excavation in northern
Africa has turned up ruins of the earliest known artificial surf pool, which a contemporary account
identifies as Neptune’s Far-Out Flowrider. It was notable for its massive gilded statue of the sea god
hanging 10 on a boogie board and catching waves “too gnarly for any mortal to tame.”
According to the historians, a sketch from the 2nd century A.D. shows hundreds of nude Romans
standing in lines that stretch through the city center as they wait to ascend a 150-foot-tall stone
staircase. From there, many can be seen riding down an elaborate sequence of slides that zigzag
through columns in the Roman forum and wind in and out of the Colosseum’s arcades. Also
depicted is a small replica of a trireme ship that was likely used to squirt water onto small children
playing in the Forum’s wading pool.
“It’s a testament to the egalitarian ideals of Rome that even as Julius Caesar expanded into Gaul, he
brought family-friendly water parks to those he conquered,” said Christopher Jones, a scholar of
imperial Rome, emphasizing that free citizens of the empire who visited the capital were given a
10% discount at the Circus Maximus, which functioned mostly as a ticketing area and souvenir
shop. “It didn’t matter what ethnicity you were. If you screamed with joy while shooting out of a pipe
and dropping seven feet into the plunge pool below, you were a Roman.”
“In fact, it has often been remarked that all log flumes led to Rome,” Jones added.
INGLÉS – NIVEL AVANZADO C1 – CONVOCATORIA 2020 – MODELO A Página 6 de 22
 Among the factors contributing to the downfall of the water park system, Jones said, were
complaints about overpriced concessions, which arose when the price of a tankard of wine and leg
of lamb doubled during the reign of Constantine the Great. Then in 410 A.D., records show that
Visigoths poured in from the north, overcrowding the attractions and ignoring strict Roman customs
about never barreling down a slide headfirst. The lifeguards, mostly teenage slaves who had been
imported from the far reaches of the empire, are believed to have done little to enforce park rules
following this invasion.
“In the end, the Roman water parks were undone by their own success,” Dench said. “With
hundreds of thousands visiting each year, sanitation standards were difficult to maintain, and
eventually the number of children defecating in the pools led to widespread pandemics. Without
modern chlorination, they didn’t stand a chance.”

O.K., YOU CAN GET A DOG

You’ve been asking for a ___(0)___ now, and we know this is something that you really, really
want, so we’re agreeing to it, but there are going to be some rules, O.K.? This is going to be
your dog, not Mommy’s and Daddy’s, ___(1)___ you will be taking care of him. And taking
care of another living being is a big responsibility.
Dogs need food and water every day, and it’s going to be your job to make sure he’s always
got enough of both. It’s also going to be your job to give him baths to keep him nice and clean,
and to walk him twice a day. If he poops on the sidewalk, you’re going to have to pick up the
poop and put it in a little bag and throw it out. I know that might sound ___(2)___ , but it’s all
part of owning a dog.
Pets sometimes get sick; that’s just a ___(3)___. If your dog does, you’ll have to take him to
the vet – on your bike or in a cab, it’s up to you. It’s not going to be on your mother and me to
worry about how you get him there. If he gets sicker and goes to Doggy Heaven, that will be
very sad. Losing a pet is difficult. So is burying one, and again this is something you’ll be
doing. And also saying a few nice words about him – thoughts, memories, that sort of thing.
That’s called a eulogy. Your pet, your eulogy.
If it ___(4)___ that his grave happens to be on a mystical native American burial ground that
causes him – or a vaguely familiar version of him that’s possessed by a demon – to be
resurrected (I know we may sound like a broken record here), it’s going to be your job to make
sure he’s got enough food and water. Dead or undead, that’s still not our ___(5)___ . You
need to understand, heading into this, that you can’t just come running to us complaining your
dog’s eyes are red and glowing and that he’s ___(6)___ at you while you sleep, because this
was your decision.
Similarly, if he kills a deer and ___(7)___ it to our yard to send a message of what he’s
capable of, it’s going to be your responsibility to remove that dear carcass, piece by piece if
you have to. Your pet, your deer.
If he steps things up, so to speak, and takes the life of a human, perhaps a neighbour or a
delivery person, you should know that, as his owner, you might be legally implicated in that
person’s death. If you try to cover up that death by hiding the body and, ___(8)___ , bury it in
the same mystical graveyard, prompting it to reanimate and ___(9)___ on the living, then,
just as with the bathing and the feeding and the walking, that’s gonna be on you.
Screaming and crying because a blood-soaked zombie mailman is trying to bust through your
bedroom is going to fall ___(10)___ . Your pet, your blood-soaked zombie mailman.
If, God forbid, the zombie mailman kills you, will we be upset? Of course we will. You’re our
child. And our child didn’t take her pet-ownership duties seriously enough to ___(11)___ this
sort of thing.

INGLÉS – NIVEL AVANZADO C1 – CONVOCATORIA 2020 – MODELO A Página 8 de 22

At that point, if we choose to bury you in the magic graveyard and allow you to be brought
back from the dead, we’ll need to make one thing absolutely clear beforehand. Just because
your human life ends doesn’t mean your human responsibilities end with it. Homework is
homework, whether you’re covered in worms or not. And, if the dog’s still kicking around,
food/walks/bath – you know the ___(12)___ .
So the answer is yes, you can get a dog. Or just stick with your goldfish. Your call.

 PUNTUACIÓN / 10

Your Austrian friend Lukas is moving to a little village in Teruel. He

is gathering information to prepare himself for the culture shock and
has found this article written in English, but does not understand it
very well because his English is not that good. It contains “unwritten
laws” that are usually strictly adhered to in Spanish villages and he
wants you to give him some useful advice to “survive” in your
country. Mention some of the points in the article and write 125-150
words to him.
1 – Parking is prohibited in places where people hang out outdoors. There is an imaginary yellow
line in places where neighbors set up chairs at nightfall to enjoy the fresh air. There are no fines for
parking in this spot, but be prepared for the consequences if you provoke a mass migration of villagers
with foldable chairs.

2 – Cars do not have priority. Ever. Two manhole covers on the street often serve as the perfect
configuration for goal posts. In these instances, children have priority over cars. There may also be
‘kamikaze kids’ flying around on bicycles or toy tractors and they too have priority over cars.

3 – You have to say hello. Not to everyone. But to almost everyone. And a simple ¿Qué tal? (“What’s
up?”) is not enough. You have to say how you’re doing, in addition to talking about your entire family.

4 – You have to find the areas with a decent cell phone signal. Most towns have a limited number
of places from which cell phones can be used. If you leave these zones, you can forget about receiving
your WhatsApp messages. This makes it easier to go directly to the house of the person you want to
talk to rather than calling.

5 – Respect kinship when flirting. Close relatives, ex-girlfriends and committed couples in your social
circle are all off limits. So if you’re among the singles returning to the village on vacation, it’s probably
best to have a friend give you the lowdown first.

6 – Diversify your purchases among the town’s stores. No picking favorites. If there are two fruit
markets, divide your purchases between them. If you don’t, people are going to think there’s beef
between you and the owners.

7 – If you live outside your village, you must take days off to return for all of the fiestas. Even if
you miss just one, you will be disowned. You can spend 50 years living in another city and stay a part
of the community, as long as you come back for the fiestas. But should you disregard them, woe is you.

8 – The regional fiesta tour must additionally be completed annually. The parties in your
hometown are obligatory, but there is greater flexibility with the ones in surrounding towns. However,
you still must attend two or three per year, where you can push the limits more than you can in your
own village.

9 – Someone in your family must host a Virgin Mary. In Spanish villages, this is the closest thing to
Airbnb. Every week, a resident of the town accepts a virgin or saint, which occupies a prominent place
in the house to be seen by all.

10 – Rivalries with the surrounding villages must be maintained. It doesn’t matter if you go to their
fiestas and have a great time. The hostilities have to be upheld. If you begin to date someone from a
rival town, be prepared to be the butt of an endless stream of jokes.
