So, Jennifer, you’re a very famous actress now. But are there any disadvantages of your job? Woman: Yes, of course. I really dislike the paparazzi who follow me everywhere. I can’t even have breakfast without them taking photos of me and my sandwiches. Another thing is travelling, I enjoy being in different places, working on different film sets, but I don’t always fancy getting there. But the worst disadvantage is getting up very early when we make a film. I love sleeping, so it’s a huge problem for me. © Macmillan Polska 2014
2. Girl 1: Girl 2: Girl 1: Girl 2:
Wow, Betty, look there! Is that really Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Yeah, they look great, don’t they? Yes, they look amazing. Let’s move closer and take a picture. Girl 1: They were great in the movie Mr and Ms Smith, I adored it! The script was really good. I really think that they should get an Oscar for it. And the figures look almost exactly like them. Girl 2: Yeah, they are incredible. I’m glad that we came here. 3. Girl 1: Hi Jenny, what are you waiting for? Girl 2: The Biggest Losers. Girl 1: What is it? Is this the singing show where they pick the best singers? Girl 2: No, that was The Voice, and I was never really keen on it. It was on Channel 7 right after Top Model. My programme is about losing weight. Girl 1: Oh, that’s interesting. Can I watch it with you? Girl 2: Sure, go ahead. 4. Girl: Boy: Girl: Boy:
Sam, have you seen the latest Hobbit film? Yes, I did, but I wasn’t too impressed. Oh, really, why? Well, first of all, I wasn’t very fond of the soundtrack. I liked the actors who played the dwarves, and Gandalf as well, but I didn’t like the one who played the hobbit. But I have to admit that I loved the special effects and I am glad that I saw the film in the cinema.
5. Man: Have you seen Dancing all Night? It’s an amazing production with wonderful actors and incredible dancers. Among them you’ll find Channing Tatum, who starred in the previous hit, Step up. This time he is even better and he helped the choreographer to arrange some of the dances. Anyway, the director and the cameramen did a great job, so go and see the movie on the big screen. I promise that even if you can’t stand dancing, you won’t regret it.
