Question

Which of the adjectives below do you think describe Lady Zaza? Work in pairs and compare your ideas. Explain your choices.

Answer

  • selfish → She’s only interested in what she wants and needs; doesn’t seem at all concerned with the thoughts or feelings of others.
  • demanding → She makes lots of demands and gets angry if the demands can’t be met.

(If students try to argue in favour of the other three, ask them to explain why and see if you agree with their justifications, e.g. she could be seen as lazy because she gets people to do everything for her, rather than doing it herself. Then again, do lazy people get up at 4 a.m. to go to the gym?)
