Questions and Responses

1) Do you prefer to take photos using a camera or a mobile phone?

Well, I would say a mobile phone is better. I assume that you almost always have
your mobile phone with you, so you can easily __shoot_______ a photo when you
need to.

Would you say that a camera is better to take photos? Why? What can you do when
you want to capture the best moments?

2) Do you share your photos with other people on the Internet?

Um….Many people do, but I don’t. Perhaps, I prefer to keep those ___________ to
myself rather than share them with others, especially people on the Internet that I
don’t really know.

How often do you share your photos with others?

3) Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take your photo?
Why?
Well, I must say that I like to take photos by myself so that the precious moments are
captured from my perspective. I’m not really good at ___________ for pictures….
and I always find it embarrassing when being a model for someone.
Are you good at posing for picture? How do you feel when being a model for
someone?
4) What kind of photos do you like to take? Why?
Well, I think the kinds of photos do not matter. I tend to __________ things that are
not moving, since I feel it is easier for me to catch the right angle to make the picture
more eye-catching.
What is special about the pictures you often take?
5) Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?
Oh I would say that ___________ photography is more appealing to me as I was
born and lived for quite a long time in Phu Yen, a small city whose population is low
but the scenery is gorgeous. I’ve shot lots of great pictures there.
What is more appealing to you? How is the scenery in your hometown? Do you
often shoot photos there?
