Steve Jones:
1 Does size really matter?

Well, when it comes to brain size and intelligence, bigger is not necessarily better. So, not.

Ah, you meant *that* size. Well, yes. Size does matter. I'm sorry.

2 Imagine that You are an item of clothing. Which one?

What if I don't wanna be a shoe? What of I wanna be a... a purse? Or a hat?
No, daddy, I don't want you to BUY me a hat...

(now, which tv series is it?)


3 "I am what I am". Who are You?

I am me. Let me check again. Yup. Still me.

4 "If there is a way to do something better, I will find that way". What do you wish to make better?


I'd like to be able to make a better snowboarder. Let's hope for a really snowy winter!

5 What's makes you sad??

For the first time since we started FFF, I can't find a way to answer a question. This actually makes me sad, as I have a feeling I don't belong any more.

And a bonus question from Steve:

6. What vegetable am I thinking of now?

A cored apple?

4.If there is a way to do something better, I will find that way. What do you wish to do better?

You got one right there. Well done.
You could also use the original "make something better". It's still correct but means something slightly different.
5.What makes you sad?

Also correct.
Yeah - that one slipped passed me. Can't believe I didn't spot "what's makes"

All in all, I might lower the score to 1/6: 17%.

See me after class! ;)

I believe 'do' to be correct in the context.

However, I doubt that Sylwia would be aware of such subtle differences between 'do' and 'make'.
