Let us answer the IELTS Speaking Part 1 topic questions about celebrities or celebrity news
0:06
Let's begin. What kinds of famous people do you often see in the news
0:12
Without a doubt, celebrities or politicians, especially those who are involved in controversies
0:18
I have seen them a lot and I think that's because they are appealing to the general public
0:23
As you know, the more it appeals to the masses, the more TV stations or news agencies
0:29
promote them as that simply translates into revenue. Normally, those celebrities are widely talked about
0:37
especially when they have to promote their movies or TV series. Also, I see some athletes, especially decorated players, and some politicians who make blunders
0:49
Do you believe that the news about famous people in the media is true
0:54
Well, some of them are true and some of them aren't. I think media personalities like celebrities pay journalists to create a story about them
1:03
so people start talking about them. It's a marketing strategy that they make to create a buzz
1:09
This is common when they are going to launch their movie or series
1:15
Who still believes in the media these days? I think the media can be manipulated by powerful people
1:21
There's no such thing as fair and balanced in the media. Therefore, I don't believe the news about famous people
1:29
Well, it might have some truth in it, but it isn't 100% accurate
1:36
Do you read news about celebrities? No, I don't. Learning about the life of celebrities isn't my cup of tea
1:43
Even if I have lots of free time, I won't bother knowing their respective lives
1:49
I'd rather spend my free time learning a new skill or improving myself
1:53
Yes, I do, but not often. I just read some news about my favorite actors or news about the upcoming movies
2:00
and the stars of those movies. I'm interested in knowing the background of celebrities
2:05
especially if the movies that they star in are blockbusters. Are you still getting a bad of 6.5 in your IELTS speaking test

2:34
Have you ever met celebrities? Yes, several times, but those celebrities that I met aren't that popular
2:42
When I was working in the capital city, I often hung out
2:45
with my friends at some bars that are usually visited by celebrities
2:50
I met some very nice celebrities, but some are snobbish. Well, I saw some celebrities during a music festival, but did not literally meet them
3:02
I mean, I haven't had an experience where I meet a celebrity and say hello or ask for an autograph
3:10
I think if I join some fan clubs, I'll be able to meet and greet some celebrities
3:16
but I don't think I'll do that since my life is busy. Do you want to be a celebrity
3:23
Never in my wildest dreams. There is so much superficiality in being a celebrity
3:29
I can't imagine life being scrutinized by the public eye, and I don't think I can bear the fact that I have to please people so they like me
3:39
That's what celebrities need to do so people will support them. Otherwise, their careers will end shortly
3:45
I just can't handle it. Now that I'm an adult, a big no
3:50
However, when I was a teen, I dreamt of becoming a celebrity
3:54
My mom took me to different auditions, and that was exhausting, yet fun, since I got to meet aspiring actors
4:03
It wasn't until I turned 18 that I realized that acting was not really for me
4:10
