Pre-intermediate Unit 12 BBC interviews script

H = Hina W1 = 1st woman etc. M1 = 1st man etc.


H: I like reading about famous people and finding out about their lives. But
I wouldn't want to be famous myself. I'm happy being a normal person,
doing a normal job. How do you feel about fame? Would you like to be
famous?
W1: Oh, I would love to be famous.
M1: Not particularly. I like to keep to myself. I'm a fairly private person.
W2: No, I wouldn't like to be famous.
W3: No, I don't think I'd like to be famous.
W4: I think I would, but not too famous.
W5: No.
M2: No.
W6: No, I wouldn't like to be famous. I think that people are too obsessed
with fame, too interested in fame these days.
M3: It's not something I’d actively look for, no.
W7: I'm not sure about that. I would like to be a bit famous but I wouldn’t like
to be like, really really famous, because you just don't have time on
your own any more.
W8: I'm not sure. I think it's very easy to get obsessed with the good things
that fame can bring, like the free gifts, and the doors opening for you,
and all that kind of side of things.
M4: When I was younger, I used to want to be an actor. And thought, yeah,
being famous would be great, but now I'm not so bothered.
H: What would you like to be famous for?
W8: I'd like to be famous for doing something new and exciting.
M4: These days, I'd like to be famous for doing something worthwhile, I
think. Ah, by the, sort of charitable work.
W7: Maybe being a model.
W2: I’d like to be well-known as a graphic designer, but that’s not real fame.
W6: If I were to be famous, I would like to be famous for an amazing
invention, I think. Or for perhaps, a medical cure, something to cure
cancer.

M3: I suppose directing films. If I was going to be famous for anything, that
would probably be what I'd like to be famous for.
W5: I prefer to be anonymous. I like anonymity when I'm in the street.
H: Which famous person would you most like to meet?
W3: I would love to meet Barack Obama.
M3: At the moment, I'd probably like to meet the President of the United
States, Barack Obama.
W7: Maybe Mischa Barton. Because she does loads of different things, and
I think she's really pretty, and I like her style.
W6: I'd like to meet Bob Dylan. I really like his music. I don't know what I'd
say to him, but I think I'd like to meet him.
W2: Famous person I would most like to meet? Probably - quite vacuous –
it would probably be Johnny Depp, or somebody like that, ‘cause he's
really good looking.
W5: I would like to meet Johnny Depp, because I enjoy his movies a good
deal.
M4: I think I'd like to meet Ranulph Fiennes - just generally because of what
he's done, his sort of Arctic exploration, and the fact that he's been
able to go where other people haven't.
W8: I'd love to meet a famous explorer. If he was still alive I would really like
to meet Edmund Hillary.
M2: I would like to meet the Dalai Lama and Fidel Castro.
