The audio is about a questionnaire to Meryl Streep, where the interviewer asks her some questions. The interviewer asks what is her favorite word and she replies that her daughter's favorite word is "sex" and he begins to laugh and then she answers that hers is "cooking a meal". Her less favorite word is "edgy". Then the announcer asks what was her favorite sound and less favorite sound, she answers "ring" but her lees favorite sound is the voice of despair. She also answers that the profession she doesn't like is sitting in front of the computer all day.
Caterina, Good work!***** Some comments: The interviewer asks HER what her favorite word IS. HOW OLD IS MERYL´S DAUGHTER? Listen to this part again, please. HER FAVORITE WORD IS "leche de coco". Check how you say this in English. Then the announcer asks what her favorite sound WAS and less favorite sound WAS. She answers RAIN, her leSs favorite sound is THE SOUND OF PAIN
She responds all the questions with a touch of fun and grace. The interview is very informal and fun. The questions asked are the all kinds and very diverse. In some of their answers she asked her daughter what she would respond, and it is very funny.
Melina, Good work!***** ....OF all kinds.... You were able to provide a global comment about her answers. Could you please refer to each question and answer? When we listen we usually get the global idea, general ideas and details. You have understood the global message and some general ideas so how about focusing on details now?
1) Meryl is very funny and friendly. The interview asks questions of all kinds. For example, her favorite word, also her favorite song. She aswers everything with grace. I think is a lovely woman and i love the interview.
1- What about answers? In the video I can see two persons that seem to be on a TV programme that is quite informal where the interviewer asks to Meryl Streep about her preferences and her privacy. The interview is very dynamic because Meryl has to answer with only a word, but sometimes she answers with more than one o two words. She try to be funny while the interviewer, is seriously, but afterwards he starts to smile to Meryl's like being more relaxed. She answered very informally and be funny everytime, I think she overreacts the situation.
Florencia, Very good work!***** .... the interviewer asks (to )Meryl Streep about her preferences and her privacy. The interview is very dynamic because Meryl has to answer with only (a) word, but sometimes she answers with more than one oR two words. She trIES to be funny while the interviewer, is seriouS, but afterwards he starts to smile SO Meryl's (like being )more relaxed. She answered / answerS very informally and WAS/ is funny ALL THE time, I think she overreacts the situation. What you mean is she OVERACTS /OVERPLAYS/EXAGGERATES? Pay attention to tenses (Are you retelling in the present or past? Stick to one tense :) )
She is asked about personal stuff on the interviews, and she turns out to be pretty funny while answering, for example the one when she mentions her daughter. Also, I realized that she tended to extend the answers to more words than the one she was allowed, because she needed to explain the answers to the uncomfortable questions. She sighs a lot while thinking, too. I guess it is because she feels uncomfortable sometimes.
