Question

Listen again and check your ideas. Then discuss the questions.

Answer

  1. Zak’s speech is very good, it makes good use of rhetorical devices (particularly rhetorical questions: Tempted? I bet you aren’t. Peace and understanding? No! but also inversion, pre- empting Stacy’s arguments, and the personal story of John). The arguments are clearly structured. The final sentences clearly summarise the main ideas of the speech.
  2. Students’ own ideas
  3. some of the benefits of the lottery, e.g. good causes that are more convincing than those Zak mentions; the fun aspects of playing the lottery; examples of the people who have won and how they have benefitted
