Read the following newspaper article and then answer the *uestions
A TAIWANESE student has died after falling from the top floor of a
student hostel in north Birmingham. The accident happened on Thursday evening
in the residential area of the university.
by Stephen Slater
According to the coroner, who carried out the post-mortem at
University College Hospital, Birmingham, Kim Jung Chan, 27, died of multiple
injuries caused by the fall. He was taken to the hospital immediately after
the accident but died on Friday morning. Police have spoken to other
residents of the 120 room student block and do not regard the incident as
suspicious.
Chan, a married man with 2 children, was half-way through an eight-
week pre-sessional English course at the Language Centre of University
College, Birmingham. His plans were to remain at the university to study for
a Masters degree in the agricultural science. The college administrator, Dr.
Huggins, said: It is true that many of our overseas students experience
difficulties adapting to life in Birmingham but we have trained counselors to
help make the adjustment easier. In the case of Chan, this is a total shock.
I dont know if his death had anything to do with any problems he may have
had in Britain. We will have to wait for the verdict of the inquest before
deciding whether we need to give closer supervision in the future.
The inquest has been adjourned until the second week in October.

cele%rate his %irthday !ith his highCpo!ered %rother, !ho sends him off to a participatory theatre
performance during !hich ?allace finds himself involved in a plot %y the ,ritish and <ussian secret
services. The Aoy of the film is that the R%addiesB thin& that ?allace is for real, ?allace thin&s the !hole
thing is a play, and only the audience &no!s !hat is really going on.
+i0e A.esh is %ased on a %oo& %y <uth <endell and deals !ith sad people leading unhappy lives and
destroying others. panish director Pedro +lmodovar !ould not, perhaps, %e the first choice to adapt one.
8nsuccessfully transplanted from <endellBs London to +lmodovarBs 7adrid, thereBs very little of <endellBs
%oo& here, %ut the main storyline remains( attempting to rescue a !oman, a policeman is shot and
paralyHed from the !aist do!n. ?hen the villain is released from prison, he starts to insinuate himself into
the policemanBs life and marriage !ith tragic and %loody conse#uences. 9n the end though it doesnBt do
Austice to <endellBs gripping story and isnBt !hat you expect from the normally flam%oyant +lmodovar.
Sha.. 5e =an&e is a perfect feelCgood movie a%out a %ored, depressed To&yo office !or&er !ith the usual
