Vocabulary Transcript
4 Speaker 1: Yes, I follow some famous people on social
1 c media, but only the ones that I find
2 g interesting. Too many of them use their
3 a accounts to publicise things — actors
4 f promoting their new movies, for example —
5 d and I really don’t have time for that. Many of
them also have an assistant who manages
6 b
their social media, and that I find really
7 e
annoying. The only celebrities who appeal to
5 me are those who manage their own profiles
1 celebrities and don’t pretend to be something they’re
2 scandal not— the actor Vin Diesel, for instance.
3 paparazzi Speaker 2: Yes, there are a few singers, athletes and
4 stalk writers that I follow. One of the reasons why I
5 privacy do this is to find out about the projects they’re
6 regulators working on at the moment. For example, I
like to know something about the upcoming
albums and concerts of musicians like Jay-Z

 and Usher. The other reason I follow some
celebrities is that they’re a great inspiration to
me. People like former basketball player
Kobe Bryant put in so much work to get
where they did that it makes me want to do
the same.
Speaker 3: I follow loads of people on social media, but
only two of them are celebrities. First, there’s
the musician Marina, from Marina and the
Diamonds — I’m a big fan of her. And then
there’s the actress Zendaya, whose style I
admire. I find that famous people tend to post
a lot of selfies and photos from their personal
lives, which are incredibly boring, in my
opinion. I prefer photos which are attractive
to look at, which is why I follow amateur
fashion bloggers and photographers rather
than celebrities.
Speaker 4: I haven’t got much time to spend on social
media because I have a very busy life.
However, I do sometimes look up some of
the more important weightlifters because my
hobby is weightlifting. I’m currently trying to
get fit by eating only freshly cooked food and
by doing my hobby. I follow the young
powerlifters and some of the older ones too
so that I can keep up with their progress. I
also follow some male and female track and
field champions to learn more about their
training routines, body composition and
athletic skills.
