WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
One of the most popular quiz programmes on television in the world is called Who
Wants To Be A Millionaire?In Britain, the quiz master is Chris Tarrant. He asks the contestants
fifteen questions. The first questions are easy but later they are more difficult. If you can
answer the fourteenth question, you can win £500,000. You can win a million pounds if you can
answer the last question. Of course, the last question is very difficult.
All the questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? are multiple-choice questions.
After you hear the question, you see four answers. Only one answer is correct. You have to
choose the correct answer. If you don’t know the answer to a question, there are three ways you
can get help: you can ask the quizmaster to take away two wrong answers: you can ask the
studio audience which answer is right; or you can telephone a friend and ask for help. You can
