260 AMERICA IN CLOSE-UP
6. Preparing an Interview
Lousy at Sports
Imagine that this revelation of a prominent TV
producer in The New York Times magazine has
aroused the interest of a popular talk show host,
who now uses the magazine article as the basis
for his interview.
Put yourself into the position of the interviewer
and prepare an introduction, in which you
• point out the importance of being a
sportsman/sports woman or at least a sports
fan, if you want to be accepted in American
society
• remind the audience of the large number of
well-known athletes who have been invited
to the show
• introduce your guest and explain why he has
been invited.
Then prepare questions concerning
• Mark Goodson's reasons for publicly
confessing his absolute dislike of sports
• the attitude of many Americans toward men
who are uninterested in sports
• Mark Goodson's anxieties as the father of a
boy
• his job as a moderator of a sports quiz
• the offer to become a baseball reporter
• his experience of being eventually found out
at a dinner party.
