Do not forget that everyone has a presentation to do on Wednesday!
I wanted to give you more time to think about and talk about people so Wednesday and Thursday of week 15 were spent talking about people. We started the Wednesday off playing 20 questions. I was first. The person I was thinking of was J.K. Rowling. (I made a mistake–she is married. Sorry.) Next I turned it over to you guys in groups of 4 or 5. I did not expect to let you guys play so long, but everyone seemed to be enjoying it and there was lots and lots of English so I decided I could not stop you.
Some of the questions that I thought were useful were:
Is he black?
Is she a politician?
Is he married?
Is she pretty?
Is he tall?
Is she muscular?
Is he sexy?
Is she beautiful?
Is he famous?
Is she on TV?
Some sentences that we fixed were:
Is he CEO? >>> Is he a CEO?
Is she actress? >>> Is she an actress?
Is he musician? >>> Is he a musician?
Is she golfer? >>> Is she a golfer?
Is he get married? >>>Is he married?
(Did he get married= has he experiences a wedding–not the usual question)
Is she live? >>> Is she alive?
Is he work for ___? >>> Does he work for ____?
Does he have a hair? >>>Does he have hair?/Is he bald?
We also pretended to be different famous people (living or dead).
On Thursday we had a similar topic. The first question was, (other than your parents) “Who has influenced you the most?”
This question also provided a lot of answers. (____ has influenced me the most.) After a discussion about this everyone shared their partner’s answers (____ influenced him/her the most.)
Next we discussed the most influential people in the world. Both groups were pretty similar with both Bill Gates and Georgey Bushi George Bush.
After that, we talked about the TIME 100 (very, very useful site, with profiles and podcasts about the people I highly recommend it) I shared the results of the online poll where Rain was number one. We then had a few minutes to discuss the people in the top 10. Again, I did not expect you to know the people, I just wanted you to think about why they were at the top of the list.
The guy at number 2 is one of my favorite TV personalities from America. His parody of Rain’s music can be seen right here. (skip to 1:53 if you want to just see the music video) What do you think?

Thanks mike!
I want to see the music video. Actually I don’t understand why is rain at number one.
However, I don’t know the other people also. I didn’t heard the other people’s name.
Accordingly,I think that rain might be number one.
I heard that rain is famous popular singer in the other state.
I saw TV show at frist , I felt bad, but now I think that USA is concerned about rain.
consequently,program produces the video, but I don’t understand why announcer tell that rain is kim jeong ill???
Do you know??
see you~~
Have a nice day!!!

Hello everyone,
Whatsup?
I like the name Kate, too. I thought the video was funny, David. What made you want to hit him?I think he said Kid Jong-Il rather than Kim Jong-Il, Kate. Jason, don’t worry about missing class or not checking the blog–it is OK. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow…although I am worried about my presentation.
Take care,
Mike
