Hello people,

I chose the following activity to give to the students.
Student A will receive the following extract from a text.

Sir Anthony Hopkins
The actor Sir Anthony Hopkins was born in Wales on December 31st, 1937. He won an Oscar in 1988 for The Silence of the Lambs. He lives in Chelsea, London, with his wife Jenni. They don’t have any children.

Part 1
 Every day I get up at about 6.30 a.m., and I put on a tracksuit and go jogging for a couple of miles in the park. I go back home for breakfast. I have a grape suit and an orange. I never use public transport in London, and I walk for miles, to meetings, to the dentist’s – everywhere.
In the mornings, even when I’m not making a film, I always do something. I usually spend at least 90 minutes learning the script for my next film. I use a highlighter pen to mark each line. It helps me remember the words. I never read newspaper or listen to the radio because it’s all bad news.
I usually have a sandwich for lunch. I eat very fast – I don’t really enjoy any meals because I’m always restless. I’m not good at relaxing. The only time I rest during the day is at about 3.00 every afternoon, when I have a 15-minute sleep.

Student B will receive the following extract from a text.

Part 2
 After my sleep I read the new scripts that people send me. I usually Know after tem pages if they’re good or not. Sometimes I do some shopping. We have a little Renault car, but I prefer walking. I like buying clothes specially suits, By Armani or Cerruti.
My wife Jenny cooks in the evening, just a light dinner. I’m a terrible cook. We go out perhaps once or twice a week. We usually meet a friend and his wife. We hardly ever watch TV. I have a small television but it’s in a cupboard. When we don’t go out I play the piano after dinner, or I listen to messages on my answerphone and call people back.
I go to bed at about 10:30 p.m. and go to sleep quickly. But I often wake up at 4: in the morning, and listen to the noise of London and think about the next day.


Students must work in pairs. They must read the extract that they receive and after this they must do change information about their parts. After the end the students must be able to tell the whole story about Sir Anthony Hopkins according to the information that they receive from the other students.

Have a nice weekend,
Dayse.
