Exercise 1: Listen and complete the text. (Track 07) Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958. He was born in Gary, Indiana, an industrial suburb of Chicago. He was and is known as the “king of pop”. He was an American musician. He started a solo career in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all times. He popularized dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk. He was very successful in his music career. He won 13 Grammy Awards. He earned millions of dollars and donated them to charities. In the 1980’s Michael’s skin color started to change because of a disease called vitiligo, and that was a shock for everyone. He got married twice, first in 1994 with Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s daughter and again in 1996 with Deborah Jeanne Rowe, a dermatology nurse. Michael had three children. He died in 2009, it is said that an overdose of the painkiller Demerol was the cause of his death but it is not confirmed. Exercise 2: Listen and decide if each statement is true or false or not given. (Track 08) My favorite singer is Dina Paucar. She is a very successful singer. She is from Peru and she is very popular all over the world. She is 38 years old, she is married and she has two kids. She is also a composer, her most popular songs are “Que lindo son tus ojos”, “Ami madrecita”, etc. In addition, Dina is a public person; she works in her concert and in her record company. When she is free, she works on television with advertising and promoting health campaigns. Dina is now very rich but she is a very generous person. She loves helping people a lot, especially poor and sick children. Like me, most of the Peruvian people admire Dina because she is the symbol of the generosity and success in Peru.
