Hello everyone,
Following the reading about "Truth and Statistics", here's the British comedy Yes, Minister showing us how to obtain opposite results in a survey. Wonder how? Through the use of so-called "leading questions", that is, the questions that lead or introduce one more important question in the poll.
The one piece of vocabulary you whould know in advance is National Service, which was the obligatory military service in the UK (although this could be easily guessed by the nature of the questions.
I propose two activities with different degrees of difficulty: either transcribing the poll questions (ready for some British accent!), or completing this gap-filling.
You can check your answers here.
Enjoy!
Great! I appreciate this subtle humour. And I kind of like the actors' accent, which a find quite cute.
ReplyDeleteOne gets the impression that poll-making is in itself a subtle art...
ReplyDeleteThe accent is just brilliant, but then again, I'm quite biased...
Thanks for commenting!
