you went out for fun. Where did you go? Who did you go with? What
did you do?
3. There are so many famous actors and actresses that we just can’t
know them all. Let’s read about three special women on page 110
(Film International, and The Quiz). Then answer the following questions.
3.1 In your opinion, who is the most interesting of the three actresses?
What makes her interesting?
I prefer Isla Fisher, she seems more interesting to me since she is
more versatile, she is an actress and she is also a writer, I really like
her career.
3.2 The reading says that they all three are amazing women. What does it
make to be an amazing person?
Reading tells us that these women, apart from their profession, dedicate
themselves to other things, to do good work and to collaborate with
others.
