There is one fragment which you do not need to use. JUN: A TOWN THAT RUNS ON SOCIAL MEDIA For the last few years, a town in southern Spain has been conducting a remarkable experiment in civic life. Jun has been using Twitter as its principal medium for citizen-government communication. Leading the effort is the mayor of Jun, Rodríguez Salas, a passionate believer in the power of technology to solve problems and move society forward. Since launching the initiative in 2011, he has been inviting townspeople to join the social network and have their Twitter accounts locally verified at the town hall. 5.1. _____ For instance, in a recent tweet someone alerted the mayor that one of the street lamps was out. Nine minutes after receiving the tweet, at 10:48 p.m., the mayor replied he would have the town electrician fix the problem the following day. The electrician was automatically notified that he’d been mentioned and saw the exchange. The next day, the electrician tweeted the photo of the repaired lamp and thanked the resident for his vigilance. According to the mayor, this system is saving the town time and money. Tweeting is quicker than fielding and returning phone calls, which used to consume his day. He says these efficiencies have allowed for the police force to be reduced from a staff of four employees to just one. Jun’s sole remaining police officer told us he now receives 40 to 60 citizen tweets per day, ranging from the serious to the trivial. 5.2. _____ So far there hasn’t been one, but even if something untoward did happen, Jun is a small town and everyone knows where to find him. According to local people the initiative has had a net positive effect on the town. “Twitter is a plus, it makes the town better because we feel like a big family,” one said. Another notes that it’s an easy and fast way to connect and people can build on each other’s comments. But the initiative is not without its critics. One resident said he dislikes the way the mayor uses social media for self-promotion, and how town employees tend to parrot everything the boss says. Another person complains about public servants using their accounts to inform the world about personal matters. 5.3. _____ The statistics seem to confirm his view. In the real world one in every 43 people has a problem with everything. On Twitter, it is one in 27 – and they always expect an immediate response. Mayor Rodríguez Salas has held office for the last eleven years. Throughout that time, Jun has been a trailblazer in applying digital tools to democracy, including electronic voting and live-streamed town meetings. Salas, with his relentless belief in innovation, has spearheaded all these efforts. 5.4. _____ Time will tell whether the townspeople share his enthusiasm and have the same priorities. In forthcoming elections they will have a chance to pass their judgement on his work and decide whether to give him another term. adapted from www.huffingtonpost.com Strona 8 z 18 MAD-1A A. In conversation he often returns to his primary goal: making the town more transparent and participatory. In his office, where the blue Twitter bird adorns the wall behind his desk, he recently installed glass ceiling panels open to the sky to symbolize the transparency he aspires for. B. Some elderly residents have started to voice concerns about the social networking of the council. They doubt whether the system can be relied on in adversity, particularly in the case of people who are not technologically savvy. C. However, being accessible to the public on social network day and night has its downsides. To protect his family time, on arriving home in the evening he turns off the phone. But what if there’s an emergency? D. This latter step isn’t necessary to participate in the conversation but it helps the town’s employees know they’re dealing with actual residents. In the most basic scenario, a resident who has a question, request or complaint tweets it to the mayor or one of his staff, who then work to resolve the matter. E. The mayor himself is not a blindly devoted believer either. He jokingly calls Twitter “the Society of the Minute” because it has a way of making people more demanding and impatient.

GRETNA GREEN A. The Scottish village of Gretna Green – population 2,700 – hosts around 5,000 weddings per year, that is almost two weddings per resident, and has been a hotspot for tying the knot since the 18th century. Gretna’s fame began in 1754, when Lord Hardwicke’s Marriage Act came into force in England. Under the Act, if the parents of a child under 21 objected to the marriage, they could legally veto the union. The Act tightened the requirements for marrying in England and Wales but did not apply in Scotland, where marriage without parental consent was permitted for girls from the age of 12, and boys from the age of 14. This gave impetus to marriage ceremonies in the village that was located just over the Scottish border. B. There were two factors that made Gretna tempting for runaway sweethearts. Firstly, the construction of a toll road passing through the hitherto obscure village made Gretna Green the first easily reachable place over the border. Secondly, Scottish law allowed for “irregular marriages”, meaning that it was enough for a couple to make a declaration before two witnesses in order for a marriage to be valid. Enterprising blacksmiths set themselves up as “anvil priests” to conduct such “irregular marriage” ceremonies. The record-holder, Richard Rennison, is claimed to have performed 5,147 of them. C. Several attempts were made to curb the runaway marriages – which the MP for Newcastle described in 1855 as “lowering the habits, injuring the character, and destroying the morality of the people of the northern counties of England”. A year later new legislation was introduced which required a cooling-off spell of 21 days’ residency in the parish in which a couple wished to marry. The institution of “marriage by declaration” was outlawed in Scotland in 1940, and from 1977 couples in England could finally get married without parental consent at 18. But despite the whittling away of the legal factors that made Gretna Green a marriage capital, it still retains its romantic allure. Strona 10 z 18 MAD-1A D. “Running away to Gretna Green” remains a commonly used phrase. And couples still choose to walk down its many aisles. They just don’t tend to be teenagers these days. Mark and Sarah Miles, 52 and 49, “eloped” from Bognor Regis on the English south coast without telling their families. “We’ve both been married before and we didn’t want any fuss,” they explained. However, like the 24-hour wedding chapels of Las Vegas, the commercial element of a Gretna wedding is not to everyone’s taste. “Either you love all the fanfare or you see it as a bit tacky,” the local shopkeeper says. E. As the law stands, if the future bride and groom are domiciled in another country, they should provide a certificate of no impediment to marriage, issued by the competent authority. Current residents in the UK who have lived in Great Britain for the last 2 years do not need to submit such papers. And regardless of where you come from, think twice before “getting hitched” in Gretna Green as marriage annulment or release from matrimony are not that easy. “It’s not what we’re famous for,” comment indigenous entrepreneurs. adapted from www.gretnagreen.com; www.bbc.com TRANSFER YOUR ANSWERS TO THE ANSWER SHEET!
