06. Read this short text about what it is like to be famous. Then answer the questions below.
|
| Being famous is not as much fun as it sounds. I am only a little bit famous. About two or three times a day people stop me to ask me to sign a piece of paper or to have their photo taken with me. For me, it is not at all enjoyable, as it often makes me late. However, I feel I should be polite to the person and have a chat with them. Sometimes I wonder how it would feel to be very famous. You wouldn't be able to get a quick coffee with a friend or go to a movie. I don't think life would be very easy. |
