Beginner
A: I would like to watch the Oscars on tv tonight. How about you?
B; yes, I ‘d love to . it’s interesting to see who is considered the best in their field and which film are thought to be particularly good.
A: I like watching it for the fashion. I like to see what the ladies are wearing. Of course, the men nearly always just wear the traditional tuxedo 4.
B: sometimes the men wear flamboyant 5 colours. Which films do you think will win awards this year?
A; I ‘m really not sure. Usually just one or two films look set to sweep the awards ceremony, but this year there are several contenders.
B: you’re right. This year should be much more exciting than usual. What’s you favourite award category?
A: you might think this strange, but I like the category for “best foreign language film’.
B: it’s nice to see foreign language films making a little impact on Hollywood. I like the “best actor and actress”.

Intermediate
A: I think that show biz stars have a really easy life. They have lots of money, so they can buy almost anything they want. They’re famous, so everyone loves them.
B: I think they must have horrible lives. All the paparazzi take photos of them wherever they go and whatever they do. They must get sick of it.
A: I bet they love it really. Sure, they complain about it, but that just gets them more publicity, doesn’t it?
B: I think that few of the show biz stars want any publicity for themselves. They only want it for their films.
A: no way! They want publicity for themselves, so that they get invited to make more films, go to lots of cocktail 6 parties, and even make albums! They have such an easy life. They don’t even pay for drinks when they go to a cocktail party.
B; show biz stars have plenty of expenses. That’s why they need so much money. They need million of dollars to buy big, seclude 7 houses and wonderful dresses. I bet most show biz stars would prefer to wear jeans and a t-shirt, but they can’t because their managers force them to wear clothes they don’t like.
A: I don’t understand how you can have any sympathy for show biz stars. They’re overpaid, over-ambitious, and over-adored.
B: I think you should give them some credit. They’re very talented people and they deserve all the money they earn. They even donate money to charity to help people who are less fortunate than themselves.
A; come on! They only do that to get even more publicity for their films and themselves。
