Unit READING Lenny Henn1 is one of Britain's most popular comedians and has his own television programme - The Lenny Нету Show As well as that, he is frequently on the radio and has sold many records One of seven children, Lenny grew up near Birmingham but now lives in London with his wife Read the first three paragraphs of the text quickly and write down six things that Lenny Henry likes Example: food Lenny Henry's favourite things 'Good food is a very high priority with me, especially as I'm nearly always on a diet, so there are times when I break the rules and go absolutely crazy and eat the entire contents of the fridge in one go, or I go to a restaurant and order the whole of the left-hand side of the menu I really enjoy eating Indian and Mexican food (especially chilli), and my Mum's food is fantastic, too (of course!) I've got a superb record collection - over 3,000 albums as well as various CDs - so you can guess that I just adore listening to music I really like Stevie Wonder, whose early music is terrific, and Prince and Hip Hop Ever since I was young I've loved looking round record shops I am very fond of cats - I've got two of them, Aretna and Flossie I like actors who are also good comedians like Peter Sellers, who was great in the good Pink Panther films, and Richard Pryor for his stand-up comedy I love Read the final two paragraphs of the text and write down several things that Lenny Henry dislikes Example: Shirts, when the arms aren 't long enough watching police programmes on the television, as well Police Squad and Hill Street Blues are wonderful I like reading comics, too - some of them are brilliant Also on my list of likes must be Jamaica I love going on holiday and I go back there as often as I can I tend to wear good clothes - maybe because I couldn't afford them when I was young I like wearing baggy suits and shiny shoes, but I can't stand shirts when the arms aren't long enough! One of my other pet hates is when expensive shoe shops don't have shoes in my size I think that's really awful There are lots of other things I don't like I detest violence, and the idea of nuclear war is very frightening indeed I don't mind being interviewed, but I get annoyed when I'm misquoted in newspapers I absolutely hate racist jokes because they promote ignorance I'm also not too keen on rude people and Australian soap operas - they're really dreadful.'
