Job Interview (20 Irregular Verbs in Past Simple) Contains Bare Body Imagery

Task description & scene summary

Task description:

In this video quiz students fill in the missing past simple irregular verbs. 20 gapfill questions to practice grammar.

These are quick questions where students need to fill in only one word, but still I'm a bit unsure whether 20 questions are OK or too many. So I would appreciate your feedback about it. Also, if you wish to have fewer questions, just Copy & edit the video lesson (find button below the video screen) and edit out as many questions as you want.

DISCLAIMER:
Contains brief moments of nudity. Maybe you disapprove of this. Maybe you would also never show Michalengelo's David or Goya's Nude Maja in your class. That's your choice. I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you are in such a rush that you don't have time to watch the entire video before using it in class. So please don't blame me if you didn't read this disclaimer and then you felt embarrassed in class.

Scene summary:

An odd candidate shows up for a job interview only to find that the interviewers are even weirder than he is. A story with a surprise ending.

Hi! Thanks for the video. You said you wanted feedback on it, so here I go. For a class exercise, or even a test, 20 questions may feel a bit too long, especially since the video is over 5 minutes long, so doing the quiz may take upto15-20 minutes, maybe? I'd leave it in 15-16 questions. For an online lesson, I would edit half the questions, again, it's not a matter of difficulty but of length, especially since (and this my very personal opinion) online students seem to lose interest faster than in brick-and-mortar lessons. However, it's great for us teachers to have such complete quizzes that we can edit! Thanks a lot!!!

THIS VIDEO IS INAPPROPRIATE because of male nudity and inappropriate questions that the interviewer asks. I usually trust ISL Collective for appropriate content for my students, and this one was shocking for my students and completely destroyed my trust in this site. Please flag or remove this video, there must be a way to filter this out.

NOT FOR ELEMENTARY Kids - The movie is great and I loved the questions HOWEVER.. I didn't notice the disclaimer and didn't watch the movie all the way to the end. I read the questions which looked great and saw the movie half way Me and my students (luckily there were just 2) were very unpleasantly surprised by the end - Very graphic (and they were 7th grade) - so, take into consideration...

Inappropriate. Now I have to read everything about the video and check them all before I give them to a student to do. It's a pity as I thought things on this website would be safe for my students to view. My students are adults but this is totally inappropriate for them.

Inappropriate for schools or children, at the end the man gets naked. I watched it but no till the end so it was embarrasing to see the man naked with my student. Although he's not a little child, it was an uncomfortable situation.
