AUDIO
Izzy: Hi Tom! What are you reading?
Tom: Hi Izzy! I am reading an interesting article in the
National Geographic.
Izzy: What is the article about?
Tom: It’s about Bear Grylls.
Izzy: Bear Grylls?! Doesn’t he have a TV documentary on
Discovery channel? I think my dad watches it.
Tom: Yes. He has a lot of documentary series. One of the
most famous is Man vs. Wild. He shows people how
to survive in woods, jungles, deserts and other places.
Izzy: I understand now why my dad likes to watch them.
He loves series about nature.
Tom: You can watch them, too. Bear Grylls is such an
impressive person and knows many survival skills.
I think he is very brave, intelligent and confident
in what he is doing. He used to be an army officer.
He learned a lot of survival skills in the army and he
uses those skills in his documentaries. His father also
taught him many great things from building rafts,
sailing to climbing, and later he became a scout.
Izzy: What kind of skills do they teach children in the
Scouts?
Tom: Besides typical activities like camping, canoeing,
hiking… kids in the scouts can learn a lot about
working in a team, building their confidence, and
simply have fun. These skills can help them later in
life.
Izzy: True. Too bad I have never joined the Scouts.
Tom: Maybe you can still join them, you are a year younger
than me.
Izzy: No, thanks. I think I would rather watch Bear Grylls’
documentaries. He seems like an interesting person.
His parents probably knew that he would become
such a brave and adventurous person, so they named
him Bear.
Tom: Well, his first name isn’t Bear, but Edward Michael.
When he was only seven days old his older sister gave
him the nickname Bear.
Izzy: How interesting!
Tom: Yes. Isn’t Izzy your nickname as well?
Izzy: Yes. My first name is Isabella, but all my family and
dip iN 8
friends love to call me Izzy and the nickname stuck.
I like it so much that sometimes I even write it on my
exam papers, but some teachers don’t like that.
Tom: Maybe Bear Grylls did the same?
Izzy: Anyway, is this man scared of anything?
Tom: Well, maybe disco parties? Actually, I read in one
of his interviews with the Teen Magazine that his
true fear is jumping out of a plane. That is probably
because he’s had a parachuting accident while serving
in the army. He broke his back and had to recover
for months, but he hasn’t quit skydiving. Isn’t that
amazing?!
Izzy: Well, he is truly amazing, but in my opinion, he takes
a lot of risks and can have an accident again and
get seriously hurt…. OK, I need to go now. I am late
for my classes. Let’s catch up later.
Tom: It’s a deal. I’ll call you. Bye.
Izzy: Bye.

Emily:
It was difficult for me to choose a person from the
entertainment industry to present as a part of the
homework assignment the teacher gave us. But I have
decided to talk about Dylan O’Brien. For those of you
who are huge fans of the Maze Runner trilogy, Dylan will
definitely sound familiar, but there are a lot of interesting
facts about his life. Maybe you are wondering why I have
chosen Dylan O’Brien as the subject of this presentation.
The reason I’ve chosen him is that he had become famous
on YouTube even before he appeared in films and TV series.
At the age of 14, he started posting funny videos on his
YouTube channel, and a few years later a local producer
offered him a job in creating web series. He was then in his
senior year of high school. While doing this job he was able
to meet film managers and seek an acting career.
Of course, he is most popular for the role of Thomas in the
Maze Runner science fiction movie, but before that he also
played the role of Stiles Stilinski in the MTV television series
Teen Wolf. One would say he only acts in SF, fantasy and
action movies, but those who watched Dylan’s first YouTube
videos know that he could be a great comedian, which he
has also shown in some episodes of Teen Wolf, as well as in
movies like High Road and The First Time.
As for his background, we can say he comes from an acting
family. His mother was an actress, while his father was
a cameraman. What’s interesting is that he didn’t grow
up in California but moved there with his parents, from
Springfield, New Jersey when he was only 12.
Also, I don’t know if you were aware, but while filming the
sequel of the Maze Runner, Dylan was hit by a stunt car
and his injury was serious. But, he quickly recovered and
continued filming.
I believe he will become even more popular in the future
because he has shown he can act well in both comedies and
action movies. If you want to ask me about his personal life,
well, he has a girlfriend at the moment, but he also had a
celebrity crush on a very famous singer.
I would really like to watch Dylan in a romantic drama, as
I am sure he would be great in that genre as well. Dylan’s
persistence, creativity and great personality helped him gain
the attention of many viewers.
