Beginner
A: you’re a big fan of andy lau, aren’t you?
B: yes, I’ve been got all his albums and most of his films on dvd. I adore him. He’s my idol.
A: how come you don’t have all of his films on dvd?
B: some of his early films are hard to find nowadays, especially the ones where he only played a bit part.
A: I see. I’m sure you’ll find them one day. I see you also have several poster of him.
B; yes. These posters are new. I bought them last week and put them up on my bedroom walls yesterday.
A: are you a member of his fan club?
B: I was, but then I discovered you can find out everything for free on the internet, so I’m not a member now.
A: did you see the interview with andy lau in cosmopolitan magazine last month?
B: of course！I bought two copies.
A: two copies? One to keep and one to cut the pictures out of, right?
Intermediate
A: I would love to be famous and have thousands of adoring fans.
B; really? I’m not sure that I would like all the attention. There have been numerous cases of paparazzi interfering with star’s private live in recent years.
A; I love being photographed! If I were famous, I’d do interviews for all the top magazines, like cosmo and elle.
B; I wouldn’t mind having my photo taken a few times or being interviewed once or twice, but it would get tedious after a while. Imagzine the things the gossip columnists would write about you.
A: no-one really believes gossip columnists.
B: I think you’ll find that many people believe what they read in gossip columns. You’d also have to be very careful about every word you said. If you appeared on a chat show and said something silly, it would be reported in all the newspapers and magazines.
A: I think you’re right about that. I’d need a good manager to be my spokesperson. I could do a lot of charity work, which would help a lot of people.
B; that’s a great idea. Which charities would you support?
A: I love children, as you know, so probably a children’s charity.
B: you’d have to remember that anything you said or did might reflect on the charity, so you’d really need to be very careful. Anyway, I’d be the first to buy your posters and I’d attend your first book-singing when you wrote your autobiography.
A: thanks, but actually I was hoping I could ask you to write my biography.
