Answer the questions below. Then listen to the model answers and think about how you could improve yours.

Do you like learning about the lives of famous people?
TRANSCRIPT

I do enjoy learning about the lives of famous people, especially when they’ve had a significant impact on history or culture. It’s fascinating to see how their experiences shaped their decisions and legacy. With someone like Queen Elizabeth, her life tells the story of so many global changes during her reign.

Do you think life of a monarch, like Queen Elizabeth, is easy or difficult?
TRANSCRIPT

I think being a monarch like Queen Elizabeth is incredibly difficult. While it might look glamorous from the outside, there’s immense pressure to always be perfect, to represent your country, and to constantly make decisions under scrutiny. There’s also little room for personal freedom or privacy.

What would you like/hate the most about being a monarch yourself?
TRANSCRIPT

If I were a monarch, I’d love the ability to bring positive change and unite people. However, I’d hate the lack of privacy the most. Every decision, word, and action would be watched and judged. The idea of never being truly off-duty or having a private moment sounds overwhelming.
