人物类热点题，新题(part 2&3)
• A famous person (not from your country) you want to meet
You should say
Who he/she is?
Why he/she is famous?
How you got to know him/her?
And explain the reason why you want to see him/her
Sample answer:
In my mind, the famous person that I want to meet is always Bruce Lee. For me, he is more than a Kongfu master but also a great philosopher and a movie actor who I have adored since I was a young kid. Bruce Lee first get known by people is by starring in an American TV series called “The Green Homet” which built up a quick fame in the states, then he started to lead a series role of Kongfu master in some later-on well-known movies, which also became his masterpieces to the world, a symbol of his own unique Kongfu style. When the word “Kongfu” occurs to people around the world, I think most of the people will find a correlation with Bruce LEE. Besides, his mysterious prompt death also became a myth among his fans and supporters.
It’s funny that I didn’t know Bruce lee first from his from his movies, but from a small collection of his Kongfu moves in TV, I think it was a documentary about him which also told his life story. There are some words of wisdom from him impressed me a lot, say like “Man, be shapeless, be formless, like water”
This quotation from him taught me to be a better person with a strong heart and great mind.
The reason that I want to see him is simple, everyone wants to see his or her icon, same as me. But I know I will never get a chance to see him cuz he’s long gone, but what I want to say is that no matter how long he’s been away from his fans and supporters his image and kongfu will always be on our minds and his place in the field of Kongfu movies is irreplaceable.
• How do they feel when they lost their popularity after some time.
It’s always a bad time for the celebrity when they lost their popularity. Nobody wants to be a shooting star, but it’s inevitable that the maniac fans will somehow calm down after a period of time. How to keep their fame and retain the fans will become a headache issue for them. So in this particular period, some of them will rise up from the adjustments they made to meet the needs of fans, but some will just fall to a minor.
• Describe a person who you wanted to be similar to in teenage years?
You should say:
Who this person was
How you knew this person
What impressed you about this person
And explain why you wanted to be similar to this person
During my teenage age and adolescence, I always want to be similar to one person his name is “Ronan Keating” a famous Irish singer，the member of the famous boyband called “Boyzone”. Ronan Keating is well-known not only in Ireland but also in UK and the world as a whole, there are millions of fans all over the world, and he is still very active now as both a solo singer and the leading singer in Boyzone. The very first English song that I listened was “Father and Son’ from Boyzone, I can still recall that it’s was in 1995, I watched this MTV on a music channel, I have to said I was touched by the golden voice that he has and since then I started to learn his song by myself. The thing that impressed me the most about Ronan is not only his voice and great works of music, but also his wisdom and well-organized plan for his career. When he realize that he could achieve a greater success if he fly solo from Boyzone, he just got down to that and became the 10 weeks consecutive top hit singer in the UK singles chart. I have to say in the first 3 years of his solo career he had made a big success than BOYZONE did, but when he started to lose his popularity, he still did a lot to retain his career prosperity, he started to be the manager of another famous boyband called “Westlife” and later became one of the judges of the famous British reality show call “ X-factor”, then he regrouped the rest of the boyzone previous member and started again in 2008 which still reached an unprecedentedly huge success.
The reason why I want to be similar to him is that I think my voice is close to his and I do want follow his career path, I don’t mean to be a singer but the wisdom about how to prolong the success of your career.
• Do the famous people have the responsibility to set a good example for the children?
I think the answer to this question is definitely “yes”. The influence of celebrities and stars on the children is massive and long-lasting. The children will easily mimic and imitate what they said and what they did. If they set up a bad role model for the children, it’s really hard to get rid of such impression on kids.
• Do you think it is proper for super stars to advertise for (inferior) 劣等的products?
Well, I think it’s such a stupid action to lead for an advertisement of such inferior products cuz it will surely ruin their good reputation and integrity. If the products are purchased by the customers who have watched this ad, they will consider the super starts is lying to them and regard him as a fraud or puppet who wants nothing but money. Not only for the super stars themselves but also for the companies that hired them as reps. They are building bad reputation on them while putting shame on themselves.
• Will children beg their parents to purchased advertised goods for them?
I think the chance is big cuz the children are largely influenced by the big stars and would love to follow whatever is advocated and propagated by them.
