We are writing to you to introduce the new edition of Focus, our five-level course for upper secondary students. As writers, it is always a privilege to be invited to ‘have another go’ and we are grateful to our publisher Pearson for giving us this opportunity. At the same time, we are particularly wary of introducing change for change’s sake. ’If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is a maxim we set great store by. In our own classrooms, we are still using ideas and teaching techniques that we learnt early on in our careers. Why? Because they still work.
STOP ASKING SILLY QUESTIONS.
My name is Henri Dubois. I’ve been working at the Louvre Museum in Paris for twenty-one years and I’ve been looking after the Mona Lisa for nearly ten. So, for the past ten years I’ve been watching people’s faces when they fi rst see the Mona Lisa. There’s something very special about that painting. I’ve also been answering the same questions over and over again. They ask me, ‘How long has she been hanging in the Louvre?’ I always say the Mona Lisa has been in the Louvre since 1804. But it isn’t quite true. The Mona Lisa hasn’t been hanging in the Louvre since then because someone stole it in 1911. Fortunately the painting was returned two years later. The other questions are impossible to answer. They ask me: ‘Who was she? Why is she smiling?’ Why? Because she’s been listening to people’s silly questions for over two hundred years! Stop asking questions and look at the painting – it’s beautiful!
