1
What kind of people are famous?
2
Now, we've been talking about a well-known person you like or admire, and I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this.
3
Let's consider, first of all, famous people in your country.
4
So, in Germany, what kind of people are famous?
5
Mostly sports people, I would say.
6
Like, our favorite sport is soccer.
7
So, yeah, people who play this sport.
8
Famous as well are politicians, but they are not admired or they are not liked or anything like that.
9
So there's a difference between being famous and being admired?
10
I think so, I definitely think so, yeah.
11
And politicians are only famous?
12
They are only famous because it's easy to blame them for everything that happens.
13
At the moment we have the financial crisis in Europe, especially Greek and Ireland really have to suffer at the moment.
14
And yeah, it's easy to blame something.
15
You can't blame a soccer player, but it's easy to blame the politicians.
16
How about movie stars?
17
Are they also famous in Germany?
18
Yeah, they are also famous, but not the German movie stars or music stars.
19
We don't have a big branch of this.
20
More American, mostly US American movie stars.
21
But it's hard to think that they are our role models or anything like that.
22
They're living on the other side of the lake and they're just in the television.
23
What about in the past?
24
What kinds of people were famous in the past?
25
in the 70s 60s i would say musicians and
26
because yeah of this freedom of this lifestyle we had there yeah these these musicians here i live this
27
and how about the future can you give me a prediction for the future definitely not bankers not bankers yeah
28
because of the financial crisis again um yeah that's a good question maybe people who um yeah serve the planet
29
and who wants to um to save the planet work for this
30
or environmentally people i could yeah would be quite lucky and
31
because we have this theme of global warming at the moment it's well discussed and yeah
32
so i would say this could be likely now let's talk
33
about celebrity culture often famous people are used in advertisements can you give me some examples of
34
that um i don't watch a lot of television but so television or see advertisements so I can't give many examples actually.
35
How about for instead of for products how about celebrities being involved in in advertising for causes
36
or charities have you seen examples of that?
37
Yeah sometimes like for environmentally things I can't name any celebrities but it's quite often that they use this image.
38
A celebrity has done something in his life and many people admire him for the one or the other reason.
39
So it's quite a good thing that they use a celebrity because he as a role model,
40
he stands for something and he stands for the environment or maybe for a product.
41
So the people who admire him wants to buy this product, wants to do something for the environment.
42
Now let's change to the negatives.
43
What kind of possible negative effects might a celebrity have on younger generations?
44
Yeah, as I said, they are role models for many people.
45
And this rugby star who was on the television the last weeks
46
and months and go on the wrong path and taking drugs or just living the wrong lifestyle, then the young people think,
47
hey, it's cool what he's doing.
48
So he's famous, he has money, he's taking drugs, so hey, that fits together.
49
I want to do the same.
50
So you think that his behavior actually can influence how younger generations choose to lead their lives?
51
I definitely think so, yeah.
52
So do you think that a celebrity has a moral responsibility to behave in a better manner in public?
53
As long as he is famous, as he is in everyday life, he definitely has.
54
He is not only the normal person.
55
If he is at home, it's okay what he is doing, I don't care.
56
But the very moment he goes public or is on television or in the newspapers,
57
he definitely has a responsibility because millions of people are watching what he is doing.
58
So would you say that there is an obligation, that a person who becomes famous, they have an obligation to behave in a more ethical or moral manner.
59
Yeah, and if he can't stand this pressure, then he should take care that he's not being famous somehow.
60
I don't know whether it's possible somehow, but yeah, there is this obligation definitely.
61
Well, thank you very much.
62
That's the end of the speaking test.
63
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
