DATE A LIVE EPISODE 1 ENGLISH BUB HOW TO
I saw a film about her on MTV the music channel – it was a video diary of her visiting Africa and talking about how to stop poverty, and they were really simple things, and I thought it was really cool because MTV doesn’t usually show programmes like that, it’s usually just music videos and things, but because she’s famous and beautiful then people want to see her so she can get a lot of attention for the things that she wants to change. She’s a famous film star with a lot of money and a famous celebrity film star husband, but she really cares about helping people and she uses her money and her fame to help children and people who are very poor or have a difficult life. Tess: And why did you choose her to talk about today? Zara: She’s an American film actress, she was in ‘Tomb Raider’, and she’s an ambassador for the United Nations too.
Great - good choice! Tell us a bit about her. So Zara, which famous person, dead or alive would you like to meet? Zara: I’m a student, I’m in my last year at school, I’m 16. Our guest today on ‘I’d like to meet’ is Zara Heller from Bristol. We ask people a simple question – which famous person, dead or alive would you like to meet? And of course, we ask them to explain why. We’ve got an excellent show for you today, and let’s start with our first section, called ‘I’d like to meet’.
