Question

Listen to six people talking about who they would invite to dinner. For each suggested guest, make notes on the topics below.

Answer

  1. Lady Gaga, because she'd be fun. They could talk about music and fashion and the speaker would ask her where she finds her clothes and to sing songs.
  2. Eddie Murphy, because she finds him hilarious. She would ask him what he thinks makes him funny, what the magical ingredient of comedy is and if he prefers stand up comedy or movies and TV.
  3. Mother Teresa, because she's fascinating and inspiring. He would ask her why she gave up her life to help others.
  4. Marilyn Monroe, because it would be good to have someone beautiful and amazing in the room. She would ask her what the best red lipstick is, talk about her movie career and ask if she'd been in love and what she would have done if she hadn't died.
  5. Queen Elizabeth I, because she'd be interesting. She would ask her how she'd managed to be so powerful when being a woman at that time was difficult and about her day-to-day, domestic life.
  6. David Beckham, because he's extremely good looking and he'd have interesting stories about places he's been and people he's met. They'd talk about the World Cup, and what his life's like being so famous.
