Question

Listen again. What reasons do they give for their opinions?

Answer

  1. the Jackson Pollock painting → because he thinks the painting is a 'dribble a child could produce'
  2. sending a man to the moon → as it has some meaning for man and the problems we face on this planet
  3. the Hadron Collider → because it’s too risky, so much could go wrong and it’s not important to know how Earth came into being; the Wagyu sandwich → because it’s too expensive, it’s full of fat and it’s a waste of carbon to bring the beef from Chile every day.
