Imagine that you are going to interview Kristen Powers or Norman Cousins. On a
separate piece of paper, write four interview questions that you would like to ask.
Use at least one word from the box in each question. Then work with a partner.
Answer each other's questions as if you were Kristen Powers or Norman Cousins.

To Kristen Powers:

1. If the result of the test is positive, would you continue living the same way you do now
or would you change something? What would you change if your answer is yes?

● I believe that I would live my life on the edge, together with my family, and focus
my energies on the positive that life can offer me.

2. Would you be willing to treat the disease with alternative medicine?

● I would not rule out any type of treatment that can help me

3. If the result is negative for both you and your brother, would you still equally advocate
for this disease? If so, how would you do it?

● Yes, since this disease not only has to do with me and my brother, but also with
my mother, and many other people who also suffer from it. I believe that I would
continue to give visibility to this disease and that people can learn more from it.

4. What advice would you give to the relatives of patients with the same disease?

● The most important thing is to accept our reality, understand every aspect of the
disease, and not neglect psychological help, it is already something very difficult
to deal with.
