Star Talk Fix-Up

Students read a short interview transcript featuring a celebrity musician whose answers contain incorrect uses of bad and badly. After reviewing the passage, learners rewrite the interview using correct grammar, improving clarity and tone. They then answer follow-up questions about impression, confidence, and how grammar choices influence meaning. This activity reinforces editing skills, enhances understanding of adjective-adverb distinctions, and encourages students to think critically about how language affects public communication. It also helps students connect grammar concepts to real-world contexts such as interviews and media.
