In line with a well known television programme, "Inside the actors studio"I would like to offer a questionnaire that may amuse or engage the attention of yourselves and your students.

1. What is your favourite word?

2. What is your least favourite word?

3. What noise or sound do you love?

4. What noise or sound do you hate?

5. What turns you on?

6. What turns you off?

7. What is your favourite curse word?

8. What job other than your own would you most like to do?

9. What job other than your own would you hate to do?

10 If paradise exists, what would you like the man at the gate to say to you?

For me the answers would be

1. Holidays

2. feedback

3. A large capacity motorcycle at full song

4. The sound of a cat fight outside my bedroom window

5. Chocolate and cheese

6. Soft chocolate and mouldy cheese

7. Dungaluk (bonehead)

8. Be a Fireman

9. Be a teacher trainer

10. You're 25 years too early, go back home!

I watch that show religiously. Some of the actors whom I had originally thought to be vain seemed to be decent people (Dustin Hoffman). Others were the direct opposite (Melanie Griffith), or too silly to bear (Cameron Diaz).
I really don't care for the questions at the end as the actors like to appear as if they were caught off-guard when I am sure they knew what was coming.
