English Vocabulary in Use Advanced by Michael McCarthy Felicity

TV Star Tragic Target is oft en used to attract the eye in headlines and to make 
them sound more memorable.

image as briefly and as vividly as possible.
• Strongly emotional words like 
crazed are oft en used to attract attention. 
[behaving in a wild or 
strange way, especially because of strong emotion]
Violent words

2

Playing with words
Many newspaper headlines attract readers’ attention by playing on words in an entertaining way. For 
example, a story about a very heavy rainstorm which caused a landslide on a narrow mountain road 
was headlined 
Rain of terror
. This headline was a play on words based on the expression 
reign of 
terror, an expression used about a period in which a country’s ruler controls people in a particularly 
cruel way.
Another example is the use of the headline 
Moon becomes shooting star
to describe a football 
match where a player called John Moon shot 
[scored]
the winning goal. 
Shooting star is an informal 
expression for a meteor. Here it is used to play on the expression 
shoot a goal, and also to link to the 
player’s name, Moon (another astronomical body). The headline is particularly eff ective because of 
the association between star and moon in the sky.
