ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: IELTS Speaking test sample - Part 3 (Alexandra, Band 7)

So we've been talking about a well-known person that you like or admire, and I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this.

Let's consider first of all being in the public eye.

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of being famous?

The advantages are that first you will get really rich

and the fame actually helps you because you don't have to pay for a lot of stuff.

They will give you free dresses and free stays in the hotels, free meals, free everything.

So actually you're saving money plus the money that you're earning.

And the disadvantages are that being a public guy, you lose your privacy.

You will always be in the eye of the paparazzi and people, and if someone recognizes you, they will take a picture of you,

and that's the end of the relaxed evening.

So I think that there will be a really big disadvantage.

Do you think if a celebrity accepts those endorsements, do you think they lose their honesty?

I don't think that they will lose their honesty, but maybe it will change them.

They will have to accept the environment that they are living in right now.

So if they get famous and they are not selling their soul to the devil, I don't think that they are that bad.

I think that it's human and if they like it, well, better for them.

Can you talk about how the media reports on famous people in your country?

The reports of the media in my country, they are like half and half, half serious news and half entertainment.

So the reports are often, but not often.

They don't have like big news if Shakir gets married or not or not, it's like a small news,

but it gets bigger with the people, not with the media, because people start talking about the news, not the media makes it big.

Do you think more time should be spent on current events and political news?

I think so, but I think that we also need a rest from the serious stuff, and we also need entertainment.

So it will be a balance because only bad news is not good for anybody.

So I think that half and half it will be better.

Why do ordinary people find the lives of celebrities so interesting?

I think because if they see somebody that successful and rich failed or getting dumped or in jail,

I think that we feel better about ourselves because we think, okay, we might not be rich, but we are better than them.

So I think that's why we like it so much to see that kind of news.

Do you think most people want to see that celebrity fail?

Maybe.

Or maybe, it depends.

If you don't like anybody, you will like them fail.

But if you really support one person, you will like them to be really successful.

Let's talk about celebrity culture.

How does the media use famous people in advertising?

In a lot of ways, because if people follow one person, for example, Justin Bieber right now in the Super Bowl,

the media will use it and publicists will use him as long as it takes,

because if he's famous, the money return will be really high.

Do you think people want to buy a product because the celebrity endorses that?

It depends on the target, but if it's a smart target, it won't happen like this.

But if it's like a child or teenagers, they will follow anything if their leaders does it.

You mentioned Justin Bieber.

Are there any negative effects of young people becoming famous?

Maybe not for the people that follow the famous people, but I think that it will be really bad for that poor guy.

Being famous at that young age, you don't know what is good and what is bad, and they will always turn bad.

Thank you very much.

This is the end of the Speaking Test.
