1
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.
2
Let's consider first of all being in the public eye.
3
What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of being famous?
4
The advantages are that first you will get really rich
5
and the fame actually helps you because you don't have to pay for a lot of stuff.
6
They will give you free dresses and free stays in the hotels, free meals, free everything.
7
So actually you're saving money plus the money that you're earning.
8
And the disadvantages are that being a public guy, you lose your privacy.
9
You will always be in the eye of the paparazzi and people, and if someone recognizes you, they will take a picture of you,
10
and that's the end of the relaxed evening.
11
So I think that there will be a really big disadvantage.
12
Do you think if a celebrity accepts those endorsements, do you think they lose their honesty?
13
I don't think that they will lose their honesty, but maybe it will change them.
14
They will have to accept the environment that they are living in right now.
15
So if they get famous and they are not selling their soul to the devil, I don't think that they are that bad.
16
I think that it's human and if they like it, well, better for them.
17
Can you talk about how the media reports on famous people in your country?
18
The reports of the media in my country, they are like half and half, half serious news and half entertainment.
19
So the reports are often, but not often.
20
They don't have like big news if Shakir gets married or not or not, it's like a small news,
21
but it gets bigger with the people, not with the media, because people start talking about the news, not the media makes it big.
22
Do you think more time should be spent on current events and political news?
23
I think so, but I think that we also need a rest from the serious stuff, and we also need entertainment.
24
So it will be a balance because only bad news is not good for anybody.
25
So I think that half and half it will be better.
26
Why do ordinary people find the lives of celebrities so interesting?
27
I think because if they see somebody that successful and rich failed or getting dumped or in jail,
28
I think that we feel better about ourselves because we think, okay, we might not be rich, but we are better than them.
29
So I think that's why we like it so much to see that kind of news.
30
Do you think most people want to see that celebrity fail?
31
Maybe.
32
Or maybe, it depends.
33
If you don't like anybody, you will like them fail.
34
But if you really support one person, you will like them to be really successful.
35
Let's talk about celebrity culture.
36
How does the media use famous people in advertising?
37
In a lot of ways, because if people follow one person, for example, Justin Bieber right now in the Super Bowl,
38
the media will use it and publicists will use him as long as it takes,
39
because if he's famous, the money return will be really high.
40
Do you think people want to buy a product because the celebrity endorses that?
41
It depends on the target, but if it's a smart target, it won't happen like this.
42
But if it's like a child or teenagers, they will follow anything if their leaders does it.
43
You mentioned Justin Bieber.
44
Are there any negative effects of young people becoming famous?
45
Maybe not for the people that follow the famous people, but I think that it will be really bad for that poor guy.
46
Being famous at that young age, you don't know what is good and what is bad, and they will always turn bad.
47
Thank you very much.
48
This is the end of the Speaking Test.
为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在雅思口语练习中，提升口语的流利度和表达能力是非常重要的。通过观看这个视频，您可以了解一个考生在雅思口语第三部分的真实表现，学习他们是如何回答问题的，并吸取其中的技巧与策略。这段对话围绕名人文化的主题，提供了丰富的讨论点，让您不仅能够提升英语口语练习，还可以扩展您对社会现象的理解。利用这种shadowspeaks的练习方式，您可以模仿并重复视频中的内容，来增强您的发音和自信心。
语法与表达的应用
在这段对话中，考生使用了多种重要的语法结构和表达方式，能够帮助您提升英语口语水平。
- 条件句：视频中提到“如果某个名人接受代言，他们是否会失去诚实？”，这样的表达让您可以学习到如何使用条件句来进行观点表达。
- 比较级：考生提到“我们可能没有富有，但比他们更好”。利用比较级可以加强对比的效果，提升您表达看法时的说服力。
- 感叹句：考生在回答时使用了“真是太糟糕了”，通过感叹句可以增强情感的表达，使您的口语更加生动。
常见发音陷阱
在观察视频时，您还会注意到一些可能的发音陷阱。比如，考生提到“媒体”和“代言”（media, endorsements）时，可能由于口音的不同而出现发音不清的情况。这种情况可以对您的shadow speech练习提供启示，您可以模仿考生的发音，同时注意避免同样的错误。此外，像“名人”（celebrity）和“公众”（public）这些词，发音时也需要注意重音，以防发音不准确影响对话的流利性。
通过这样的练习，您将不仅提高您的英语口语能力，还能更好地应对雅思口语考试中的各种问题。记住，持续的shadow speak和练习能够帮助您在现实交流中更加自信。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
