Her English is present. It is not, as yet, confident. When a Hollywood production comes looking for a German actress in her forties to play a scientist in a film about artificial intelligence and memory, the other candidates are unavailable. The path is clearer than it has any right to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is warm, fast, and frequently funnier than expected - as Mara navigates an American film set with approximate English, genuine nerve, and the particular directness of someone who has never let not knowing something stop her from attempting it anyway. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in clear, natural English at Intermediate B1 level, \u003cem\u003eMara in the Spotlight\u003c\/em\u003e places you inside the everyday English of a professional life - conversations on set, social exchanges, the small English that holds everything together when the big English hasn't quite arrived yet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou don't study the language.
