Miley Cyrus

Hello friends.

Since we've been talking about fashion and image this week, I thought it might be fun to watch this video about a young star and think about the way she comes across to her fans.

First, watch and listen for gist. Then answer these questions:

1) Who is Miley Cyrus?

2) What did Miley do for Vanity Fair Magazine?


Watch again if you need to, then answer these questions:

1) Who is upset about the photos? Why are they upset?

2) How old is Miley Cyrus?

3) How did Miley feel about the photos a) when they were taken, b) now.

4) Does Michael Speier think that these photos will hurt Miley's career? Why or why not?


Listen for these words and try to guess their meanings.

squeaky-clean

role model

manipulate

deliberately


What do you think about this situation? Would this happen in your country?
