1. Read the text below and complete the following tasks.
Ainsley Harriot
I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man. I was a part-time comedian for
years, so I learned how to stand in front of audiences. It made me sure of myself. 1____________.
I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and our two
children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around the house. I
grew up with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still playing, by the way.
My working day is divided between television and writing cook books, though TV takes most of my
time. 2_______________. I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food. When I'm
cooking, I experiment with whatever is in the fridge - it's good practice for my TV series.
I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a home loving person really. 3________.There's
nothing better than a night at home playing with the children, I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late
evening is when fresh thoughts on cooking usually come to me, so I often write or plan my
programmes then. 4___________.
