Dialog

1. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.

For many years, the halftime show has been an essential part of American football. The primary purpose of the halftime show is to keep fans entertained during the break between the two halfs of the game. During the break, the teams are in the locker room, rather than on the field, so the people in the stands need something to do.
The Super Bowl halftime show is usually the biggest and most elaborate show of the football season. This year was no exception. The show featured superstar performers Janet Jackson, P. Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock and Justin Timberlake. Each performed for a few minutes, singing popular songs such as Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Kid Rock’s “Cowboy” and Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation.”
The most exciting part of the halftime show was during Timberlake’s performance of “Rock Your Body.” He sang and danced with Janet Jackson in a very sexy and provocative manner.
