Travel to the OSCARS and enjoy the party !

YES ! Believe it or not ! You have just been invited to assist this year's Film Academy Awards in Hollywood: the famous OSCARS !
You will travel there, will assist the ceremony and in the evening you will be invited to the best party of the world where you will meet all the film stars.
You will have the opportunity to chat around and get to know your favourite actors.

Now let's practice for that party in the classroom: Form a group of ten people.
Each of you thinks of one of his favourite actors and pretends to be him at this party.
But this will be a TOP SECRET ! Your classmates will not know which actor you are.

Now start the party:  walk around and ask the other "classmate actors" hundreds of questions to find out which actors they are representing.
All answers are allowed except for the names of the actors.
Remember: These are TOP SECRET.

Note down the names of the actors you think they are in this formular.
The one who guesses the highest number of actors will be the winner and will receive a free ticket to the cinema !

GO AHEAD AND ENJOY BEING FAMOUS TONIGHT !

of which each characterises one of the two countries.
Discuss these differences with your classmates.
Are they all true or are they false stereotypes ? What do you think ?
