Madonna mauls Eminem's critics

Submitted by Louisa Hubbard on 15 September 2008.

Topical comprehension based on a 2001 BBC News report with comprehension & vocabulary questions written for E2E learners. Although this is an old report from 2001 it is still of interest to younger students and ideal for provoking discussion about appropriate language, lyrics, etc.
