雅思口語|Part1：Celebrity名人
1 founder 創始人
Off the top of my head, I guess I would have to say Jack Ma. I'm not sure if you've heard of him, but he's the founder of Alibaba, and one of the most successful businessmen in the country. And I basically admire him for everything that he'd achieved, especially as I think he had to deal with rejection early on in his career. So, yeah, I'd say he's probably my favourite celebrity here in China.
我腦子裏先想到的就是馬爸爸，我不知道你有沒有聽過哈，反正是阿里巴巴的創始人，算是我們國家最成功的商人之一了。 差不多他的每一項成就我都很佩服了，特別是我想到他早期遇到的那些被拒絕的經歷。所以可以說馬爸爸可能是我最喜歡的中國名人了吧。
2 have lots of VIP treatment travelling around the world 周遊世界的時候有很多VIP待遇
Obviously it would be nice to be adored everywhere you go, and have lots of VIP treatment travelling around the world. That would be quite nice! 顯然走在哪裏都被崇拜，這很贊呀，而且在全世界旅行都會有VIP待遇，這多好呀。
3 lack of privacy 沒有隱私
But I think there would be a lot of downsides as well, for example lack of privacy, the paparazzi. So I think all things considered, I wouldn't want to be a celebrity. 我覺得當明星有很多不好吧，比方說沒有隱私，狗仔隊跟着之類的。所以我覺得所有事情考慮下來，我還是不要成爲一個明星吧。
4 have been to a few pop concerts 去過一些明星演唱會
I don't actually think I have met a celebrity. It would be nice to, but up to now I can't say that I've had the pleasure of meeting any! I mean, I've been to a few pop concerts and seen some famous singers perform, but I don't think that really counts, as I've never actually met a celebrity up close or shaken their hand or anything.
我覺得自己應該沒見過明星吧。見明星當然是件好事，但是到現在爲止我還沒這麼榮幸見到任何的名人呢。我是說雖然我看過明星演唱會，看歌手表演。但那些不算吧，畢竟並不是近距離見的，也沒有握手之類的。
5 go intruding into one's private life 侵犯隱私
Yeah, without a doubt, cos I think privacy is something that everyone should have, regardless of who they are. So just because someone's famous, I don't think that gives us the right to go intruding into one's private life!毫無疑問，我覺得每個人都應該有隱私，不管他們是誰。並不會因爲人家是明星就能侵犯人家的個人生活。
6 rub off on one's fans 感染，影響粉絲
I guess their general behaviour may also have some kind of influence on their fans. So for example, if a celebrity conducts himself well, then it's probably gonna rub off on his fans and have a positive effect on them, and vice versa. 我覺得他們的行爲可能也在一定程度上影響粉絲吧。比方說， 一個明星有很好的行爲舉止，這就可能會感染粉絲。反之亦然。

該雅思口語話題參考文本
OK, I’m gonna talk about the South Africa president- Zuma. There was a time I saw a video of him speaking in public, you know how English is not his first language, but the thing is, he has always wanted to try to speak it. It literally took him half a minute to say the words ‘in the beginning’. He tried so many times and still couldn’t pronounce it. The best part is that every time he failed saying it, he would wiggle his body to defuse the embarrassment. Every single time I saw this video, I would laugh till my belly hurt.
Generally speaking, we would expect the leader of a country to be more serious, you know, at least practice the speech or have a translator with you for the important occasions like that. But the way he behaves, is just very endearing. It's absolutely more fascinating than those who follow the conventional way of delivering a speech.

In my list there are so many famous persons whom I dream to meet and spend some time with. There are several scientists, actors, actress, political leaders, poets, IT specialists, business founders, sports person, writers and journalists in this list but Paulo Coelho is the person whom I would like to meet first.

I am a great fan of his writing, enjoyed and deeply touched by most of his writing and that's why want to meet him in person to talk about those stories and to know about the person who actually has got a brilliant way of storytelling.
I read the book 'Alchemist' by him more than once and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is an inspiring and thought provoking book and the writer has been able to tell the story in a fascinating way. This book has been translated in 67 different languages and has got numerous positive and critically acclaimed reviews. I know very little about the man behind this amazing stories and that's why I want to meet him - to know more about him. I place him in a highly esteemed position. I have enjoyed his many books including 'The Alchemist', 'The Valkyries', 'Eleven Minutes', 'The Zahir’ so much that I wanted to meet the person who wrote those truly amazing stories.
Writers are dream-catchers and possess a magical power of blending the truth and imagination to create a story. Storytelling and giving them lives is a very difficult task. Paulo Coelho is a gifted writer who can easily absorb readers' attention to his powerful stories. His books are real page turner and would always make the reader to desire to read more. I have been so mesmerized by his story that I would like to meet the real person who tells us the stories. I'd like to know his thoughts and opinions on many things and would like to spend some time with one of my very favorite writers.
