Exercise 8. SPEAKING Work in pairs. Using adjectives and linking verbs, tell your partner about a famous person you would like to meet.
• Give some information about them and what they do. • Say why you’d like to meet them and how it would make you feel.
Suggested answer: If I could meet a famous person, I would love to meet Keanu Reeves. He is an incredibly talented actor, well-known for his roles in movies like The Matrix and John Wick. Besides being a brilliant actor, what really stands out about him is his humble and down-to-earth personality. He seems kind, generous, and thoughtful, which is quite rare in Hollywood. I’d like to meet him because he has such an inspiring life story. He’s faced many personal challenges but still remains positive and compassionate. I’ve heard he often donates to charity and treats everyone, from fans to co-workers, with great respect. It would be fascinating to talk to someone so genuine and learn how he stays grounded despite his fame. Meeting him would probably make me feel thrilled and a little nervous at the same time! I think it would be an unforgettable experience, and I’d feel incredibly inspired to stay humble and kind in my own life. Plus, I’d love to hear about his acting career and maybe get some advice on how to handle challenges gracefully.
