Activity 2. Decide whether the following statements are true (T), false (F), or not given (NG). Tick the correct box.
Activity 1. Hung and Quang are talking about famous people. Listen and read.
The person I admire
Hung: The topic for tomorrow’s presentation is really interesting. Have you decided who to talk about, Quang?
Quang: Not yet. I’m still wavering between two famous people, Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson. I admire them both.
Hung: But who’s had a greater impact on you?
Quang: I’m not sure … Steve Jobs’s work stimulates my creativity and innovation, while Michael Jackson’s music inspired me to learn to play a musical instrument. What do you think?
Hung: Well, both of them were very talented and influential, but I prefer Steve Jobs. I think Michael Jackson was a great dancer, but not an excellent singer. In his later years, his singing voice became weak and thin and wasn’t as good as before.
Quang: I see. What about you? Who are you going to talk about?
Hung: Christine Ha.
Quang: You mean … the lady who won the US MasterChef trophy in 2012?
Hung: That’s right.
Quang: I know your dream is to become a famous chef. Is that why you want to talk about her?


Hung: Yes. What’s more, Christine is a blind chef and a gifted writer. She’s very talented and determined. It was
absolutely amazing to watch her use all
the kitchen tools and prepare the dishes.
Quang: I agree. I remember how excited I felt when Christine was creating those great-looking dishes … and even
anxious when the judges were tasting them. By the way, do you know where she was born? In Viet Nam or the US?
Hung: In California, but she was inspired by memories of her mum’s cooking.
Quang: It seems you know quite a lot about her. Good luck with your presentation tomorrow!
Hung: The same to you!
