British Baking Champion
In 2015, Nadiya Hussain won a baking contest on British television. She went from being an anonymous wife and mother of three to a national celebrity almost overnight. Nadiya is a first-generation Brit. Her parents came to Britain from Bangladesh. She has grown up in Britain, but also within Bangladeshi culture. Her own marriage was arranged. She married at the age of 19 and had only met her husband once before the wedding. She describes her wedding day as the worst day of her life. Yet, 14 years later, she and her husband renewed their vows out of love. They are now happily married. Nadiya’s husband is one of her biggest supporters. He was the one who first said that she should enter the baking contest. He felt that it was her time to shine. So, he brought home an application form for season 6 of the televised baking contest. Nadiya has struggled with anxiety attacks for over 20 years, and he felt that she needed an arena in which to showcase her skills. After some convincing, she decided to enter. She was picked to be a contestant and won the 2015 season. The rest is history. Now people recognize her on the street. At first, Nadiya wished to blend in. However, she soon realized that blending in was not an option. As a brown Muslim woman, she stands out in an industry that mainly consists of Caucasian men. She has realized that many people have an opinion about her, but that does not stop her. She has found her voice and wishes to object when people are unfair. She finds it ironic that people praise British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver when he makes Italian food. He is not Italian, but he loves the cuisine and likes to go on holiday to Italy. However, Nadiya is criticized on social media because she makes British food – and she was born and raised in Britain! She is fed up with the unfairness. Over the years in the spotlight, Nadiya has learned to accept that being a firstgeneration Brit in the celebrity chef industry is ground-breaking. She has learned to own her space, saying ‘I’ve learned that if I don’t create that space, who will? Someone has to do it’. She needed people on television to identify with growing up, and now she is that person for others. 1 2 3 4 5 6

How did Nadiya Hussain become a celebrity? Which country are her parents from? How long has Nadiya had anxiety attacks? Who suggested that Nadiya should enter a baking contest? Why can’t Nadiya blend in? Why does she get criticized on social media?

GRAMMAR NOTES
Questions tags We use question tags, e.g., isn’t it?, is it?, when we expect the listener to agree with us.
EXAMPLES
When the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag:
It’s lovely, isn’t it?
When the statement is negative, we use a positive question tag:
It isn’t nice, is it?
The listener replies to the main statement. If the statement is positive, the reply is also positive:
It’s lovely, isn’t it? Yes, it is.
If the statement is negative, the reply is also negative:
It isn’t nice, is it? No, it isn’t. It’s lovely, isn’t it?
In question tags, we use the same auxiliary verb that forms questions in a given tense. Remember to repeat the subject at the end of the question tag:
She is beautiful, isn’t she? They are friendly, aren’t they?
