Assignment #2.10


  1. Imagine, you are a newspaper reporter who is interviewing a Polish ballet dancer who at the age of 20, after early successes in her native country, was invited by the famous Metropolitan Opera in New York City to dance there as a guest artist for one season. She was performing there so well, that shortly before her scheduled return to Poland, the Met signed a 5-year contract with her. At the time of the interview she is at the midpoint of the contract. Prepare 10 questions you will be asking the now world-famous dancer. Just questions, no answers. Make sure to use various tenses and voices in these questions. Also, try to apply as rich a vocabulary as you can.
  2. We will continue reading about the painting The Arnolfini Marriage.
