READING PASSAGE 3

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.

Can You Charm Your Way into Oxbridge?

It's Oxbridge season again, and thousands of applicants are anxiously waiting to be called to interview. Independent schools will be putting the final polish on candidates who may well have already had a year's intensive preparation. Candidates, if they are lucky, might get a five-minute mock interview with one of their teachers. At the Cotswold School, in Bourton-on-the-Water, a Gloucestershire comprehensive, it's a different story. Here, the eight Oxbridge candidates, all boys, are being given intensive social grooming courtesy of Rachel Holland, a former independent-school maths teacher and housemistress, who has dipped along in her high heels and smart, pink linen, two-piece to give them a morning's tuition in the lost arts of sitting, standing, walking, making small talk, dressing well and handing round canapes. It might sound the sort of thing that would have skeptical teenagers totting in their chairs and rotting their eyes skywards, but Rachet Hottand is warm, engaging, funny and direct. People, she tells the boys bluntly, always judge others within a few seconds of meeting them, which is why first impressions are so vital.

Step-by-step she takes the group through a good "meet and greet"—how to smite, make eye contact, and give a firm handshake. Lolling in chairs is a no-no, she says, even when you're waiting outside an interview room. "And don't sit with your legs really far apart, either." How do you enter an interview room? Rachel Holland demonstrates, miming dosing the door quietly behind her, smiting warmly, walking confidently across the carpet, and shaking each interviewer's hand as she says her name. Then the boys do it, over and over again--"head up, don't rush it, turn and sit down, but remember, don't sit down until you're invited to. Imagine your interviewers have had a bad day. You need to brighten it up for them. You need to announce to them that you're here. What you're saying when you come in tike this is: 'Here I am, I'm so-and-so, and I'm really pleased to see you. Pay attention to me. I want my place and you should give it to me!'"

Rachel Holland set up Rachel Holland Associates to teach social skirts after realising the poputarity of the workshops she devised for the pupils of Millfield, the school where she was working. Her courses range from a three-hour workshop on basic manners for seven-to-10-year-otds, to a one-term course for school leavers on etiquette and life-skills, which covers all aspects of modern rife including how to walk in high heels, accept a compliment, write a thank you fetter, and know when not to use a mobile phone. "Every child, no matter what their background, needs to be given social skills," she says. "Everyone needs to know how to be polite and well- mannered."

Once upon a time teaching these things was considered a parents' job, but today's parents, she says, are often as confused as their offspring. 'They ask me, 'What should my child wear to interview?' Then I get lots of questions about eating. Young people say 'If there's lots of cutlery, what should I do?' They find the idea of, say, eating a meal with a future employer very intimidating. I think social skills need to be taught as a proper subject in schools, not an add-on, although it helps that I'm coming in from outside and am not their maths or physics teacher." So far she has taken her new company into four independent schools and has now come to the Cotswold School to try out her skills in the state sector by working with this small Oxbridge group, and running a larger workshop for 11-year-oLds.

The headmistress, Ann Holland, came across her work through a family connection--Rachel Holland is her husband's niece--and thought: "If they're doing this, why shouldn't my children have some of it, too?" Neither she, nor the
