Who is your favorite celebrity in your country?
Frankly speaking, I really don’t pay attention to any Vietnamese celebrities since I am not interested in national showbiz. Of course I can name some of them: Bich Phuong, Hoa Minzy, Duc Phuc, Thanh Duy, Truc Nhan,… but if you ask me if I idolize anyone, my answer should be “No”, as a matter of fact.
Vocabulary ghi điểm:
- Frankly speaking: thành thật mà nói
- To idolize someone (v): thần tượng ai đó
- As a matter of fact: như lẽ đương nhiên
What types of people become famous in your country?
I would say that not only rich and powerful people, but music artists, movie stars, cultural celebrities, successful sports people also usually fall into the categories of celebrities. However, there still exist the type of “infamous‘” people that would likely do controversial things to gain fame, even in a short time but it would help them make a good amount of money.

- To fall into (v): rơi vào (một thể loại nào đó)
- Infamous (adj): khét tiếng, tai tiếng
- Controversial (adj): gây tranh cãi
- To gain fame (v): tìm kiếm sự nổi tiếng
- A good amount of money (n): một khoản tiền kha khá
Would you like to be a famous person?
No, not worth it. I prefer having an ordinary life with my loved ones rather than being a public figure and risking suffering from various problems when the curtains close.
Vocabulary ghi điểm:
- Ordinary (adj): bình thường, thông thường
- A public figure (n) = a celebrity, a famous person
- When the curtains close: sau ánh hào quang

Bài mẫu 1:
Describe a famous person who is not from your country you would like to meet.
It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if I had the pleasure to meet the four gorgeous girls who comprise the K pop supergroup BlackPink, one of the biggest recording artists in the world.
I’ve loved them since they debuted in 2016 - consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, four South Korean girls. BlackPink is renowned as the biggest girl group in the world. After debuting, they have broken so many world records. With two big hits "Kill This Love" and "How You Like That", which each set the record for the most viewed videos in a 24-hour period, their greatness simply cannot be questioned! Additionally, they also hold two Guinness World Records! Each of the girls has received many acknowledgments from committees and associations all over the world for their contributions to the music industry.
They also enjoy the admiration of tens of thousands of fans due to their command of the English language. Although I am not a big fan of K-pop music generally, I am fascinated by how they answer reporters in English. Furthermore, they always present themselves in an exquisite manner.
If I had the chance to meet them I’d snap loads of pictures which I would use to decorate the corner of my study where I work. What’s more, I would suggest an intimate dinner together so I could chat to them and be inspired by their positive attitudes.

Bài mẫu 2
Describe a famous person you follow on social media.
It is quite common among people to follow celebrities on social media rather than just watching them on screen or reading about them in magazines, as it gives them the feeling of being virtually connected with them. So today, I would like to talk about a celebrity that I adore and follow on Instagram.
His name is Nakamoto Yuta, although being Japanese, he is currently participating as a member of the Korean boy group NCT. The year 2016 was when I knew about him through an article that announced the debut of his group with the MV “Fire Truck”. Back then I was interested in learning Japanese so his name caught my attention and I was immediately hooked by his outstanding performance. I have been following him on social media since then. I really loved the way he sings and the way he expresses the feeling of the song. Plus, Yuta has always worked seriously to give high-quality music products. Not to mention that he has a really attractive smile.
Besides talent, Nakamoto Yuta is beloved for his good-heartedness. He is a thoughtful and gracious person who cares the most for his fans. On Instagram, he always posts motivational thoughts, pictures, and videos that relate to his work. Sometimes he would live stream on Instagram as an opportunity to interact with worldwide fans – when he takes off his celebrity side and becomes a close friend to his fans, to talk about his days and even give the fans helpful life advice with determination and positivity.
I admired Yuta since I got motivated by his personality and lifestyle. I believe he has achieved the zenith of success in his life due to being dedicated and putting in his best efforts in working.

- To be virtually connected (verb): có kết nối ảo, mối liên hệ ảo

Bài mẫu chủ đề Celebrities/ Famous People - Speaking Part 3
What are the hardships of a celebrity?
While there are a lot of great reasons to be rich and famous, it’s often a lot harder than you might think. From suffering too much pressure from the audiences and society, lack of privacy, being a target for crime, to health problems, etc. Being rich and famous may sound glamorous, but it’s not always as good as it seems.
Vocabulary ghi điểm:
- Audiences (n): khán giả
- Lack of privacy (n): thiếu sự riêng tư cá nhân
- A target for crime (n): mục tiêu của tội phạm
- Glamorous (adj): hào nhoáng
What should celebrities do to protect their privacy?
To my mind, there are numerous ways famous people could think of, such as monitoring their fame, being consistent in dealing with the media or learning from other’s experiences, but to be honest, I don’t think they are completely effective since the invasion of privacy is inevitable for a public figure, especially top stars. If you want to earn more, you have to sacrifice more, as people always say.
Vocabulary ghi điểm:
- Numerous = many
- To monitor (v): giám sát
- Consistent (adj): cứng rắn, kiên quyết
- The invasion of privacy: sự xâm phạm quyền riêng tư
- Inevitable (adj): không tránh khỏi được
Is it easier or more difficult to achieve fame today than in your grandparents’ time?
Yes, in general, anyway, it is easier to "get" fame today than it was in our grandparents' time, mainly because of technological advancements, people today have more leeway and opportunities to advertise on different media outlets. We also seem to have "compromised" a lot with traditional socio-cultural values in order to be famous. In fact, it seems that the more you can get out of the box, the easier it is for him or her to become famous. I have a friend who has over 80,000 followers on YouTube and is well known in his community. This was unthinkable in my grandparents' time due to the technological advancements of our time.
Vocabulary ghi điểm:
- Technological advancements: Tiến bộ công nghệ
- Compromised: Xâm nhập
- Traditional sociocultural values: Các giá trị văn hoá - xã hội truyền thống
- Unthinkable: Không thể nghĩ đến, không thể tưởng tượng được
