Lottery interview!

Gains at lottery! … I haven't won yet but a boy in his twenties, once a student at our school, won a lottery around two years ago. It was certainly a mega win for him: 250 million tolars! I know this lucky winner and I wonder what you would ask him in an interview about his life before he won the lottery and his life since he won.

Put down at least one question and /or when you are out of ideas for the questions, give the lottery winner's possible answers. To avoid repetition read other questions and answers before you post your own ones.

Fame and fortune

Let's start with our new topic Fame and fortune.
Think of some famous people from our country or the world.
What comes to your mind in connection with famous people?
Why are they famous? What do/did they do?
How do you feel about fame… (or luck, happiness, success if you prefer these key words)? Would you like to be famous? Why (not)?
I'm asking you:
  • to express your views on one or two of the questions above (minimum 2 sentences) and
  • to respond to other students' entries.
