Issue 4 – Cop Whore


Hey there, dear English learners. Today’s issue of English Booster is about love and still waters running deep. So kick back and enjoy yourself.

1. Pre-reading activity. Working with a dictionary.

Увольнять (2 слова), обнаружить, старшие по званию, навлечь дурную славу, госпожа, дубинка полицейского, а мне плевать, …, распространяться (о новости)

COP WHORE

A Hungarian policewoman has been sacked after she was spotted in a hard-core porn movie.
Livia Kovacs, 36, from the Budapest police force was spotted in the Triple X rated movie by a colleague who then told superiors.
She has now been fired for bringing the force into disrepute and misuse of her police uniform.
In the movies, she plays a dominatrix cop who uses her police handcuffs and a truncheon during a wild sex session.
Kovacs said: "I don't care about being fired. Since news spread about my acting debut I have been flooded with offers from producers to do more films."


2. Guess the word by its definition:

  • 1. to make people stop trusting or having a good opinion of an activity, idea, organization etc

  • 2. a woman who is the stronger partner in a sado-masochistic (sado­masochism) sexual relationship

  • 3. to dismiss someone from their job (2 words)


3. Translate the following sentence from Russian into English. Use the words from the text. Mind the translation of the word “бригада” :

Спасибо тебе, Ваня, за то, что опозорил нашу бригаду!”

4. Сколько раз в тексте встречается Passive Voice: 2, 3 или 5?

5. Retell the text.
