2. a. Listen to the interview with Ally, a singer from a famous boys’ band. Is he bad-tempered?

b. Read the extracts from the interview. Guess the meaning of the words in bold.

Yeah, at school it did, ’cause I hated it. I wasn’t very good at school, so I would take it out on my teachers. I’d refuse to do homework, I’d sulk and talk back to them. Basically, I felt they weren’t treating me fairly, so I would try to stand up for myself...

Looking back, I know it was wrong and very disrespectful to be rude to my teachers, but at the time I didn’t care. At that age, I was about 15, I was going through a rebellious period and I went against everything and everybody... Well, the other guys in the band say I’ve got the worst temper of all of us, and I reckon they’re probably right. For example, when we’re rehearsing and one of the guys keeps making the same mistake over and over, I shout, and I really have a go at them. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it... Yeah, once in an argument with a girlfriend I called her a name I shouldn’t have, then threatened to finish the relationship... I was in Maths lesson and I hated it ’cause I was really bad at Maths. The teacher used to pick on me, too, which made things worse.

c. Moving activity “Definitions”.

d. Listen to the interview again. Take notes of the singer’s answers.

2. a. Прослушайте интервью с Элли, певцом из известной мальчиковой группы. У него плохой характер?

Ответ: Yes, he is bad-tempered. He admits that the other guys in the band say he has the worst temper, and he agrees with them. He gives examples like shouting at his bandmates, talking back to teachers, and calling his girlfriend a name during an argument.

Перевод: Да, у него плохой характер. Он признает, что другие участники группы говорят, что у него самый худший характер, и он с ними соглашается. Он приводит примеры, как кричал на своих коллег по группе, пререкался с учителями и обзывал свою девушку во время ссоры.
