Sample Answers

Have you met a celebrity in real life? Actually, I haven't had the chance to meet a celebrity in person, but I did attend a concert where I saw my favorite singer perform live. I was really excited to see her on stage, and although I didn't get to meet her personally, it was still a thrilling experience. I think it's because I'm not really the type to attend celebrity events or go to places where I might run into famous people. Plus, I live in a relatively small city, so the chances of meeting a celebrity are pretty slim. However, I do think it would be cool to meet someone I admire, like a scientist or a historical figure, rather than just a celebrity. I think it would be more meaningful to learn from someone who has made a significant impact on society.

Who is your favorite movie star? I have to say, I'm a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio. I think he's an incredibly talented actor who has been in some amazing films over the years. What I admire most about him is his dedication to environmental causes and his efforts to raise awareness about important issues. I also appreciate how he chooses roles that challenge him as an actor and allow him to grow as a person. Plus, he's just really good at what he does, and it's always exciting to see him on screen.

Are international superstars popular in your country? Yes, international superstars are definitely popular in my country. I think it's because we have access to a lot of American and European media, so we're exposed to a wide range of celebrities and their work. Plus, social media has made it easier for celebrities to connect with fans all over the world, so even if someone isn't from our country, they can still build a huge gap between the haves and the have-nots. On one hand, you have people who are struggling to make ends meet, and on the other hand, you have celebrities who are living these extravagant lifestyles. I think that's why some people might be critical of celebrities, but at the same time, they can't help but be drawn to the glamour and excitement of the celebrity world.
