Follow Up Questions 
1. Do you think a person who is famous is well liked? Why?
Not  necessarily.  It  depends  on  why  the  person  has  achieved  fame.  If  the  famous  person  is  a
sportsman  or  a  film  star,  he  is  well  liked  but  if  the  famous  person  is  a  terrorist  or  any  other
criminal, he is not liked. He is in fact loathed/hated by people.
2. What do you know about celebrities?
Celebrities are the famous people from the world of entertainment, business, sports and politics.
3. Do you think celebrities are different in different countries?
Yes, of course, celebrities are different in different countries. All countries have their own famous
people  in  the  world  of  entertainment,  business,  sports  and  politics.  However,  some  celebs  are
internationally  famous.  This  is  because  nowadays  we  belong  to  an  era  of  globalization.  The  IT
revolution and the satellite TV have made it possible for people to be famous all over the world.
4. Were they different in the past?
They were different in the past because the media in the past was not that pervasive. Only those
persons were famous who had really achieved great heights and were in the local and national
news. Whereas, today the reality TV has made it possible for even the common man, with some
talent, to become famous.
5. What does motivate people to become well known?
Famous  people  have  power  and  money.  This  power  and  money  is  what  motivates  people  to
become  well  known.  We  can  see  today  thead  companies  approach  even  small  children,  who
become  well  known  through  reality  TV  shows,  to  endorse  their  products.  So  once  a  person
becomes well known, money starts pouring in through many doors.
6. Do you think technology can help people interested in it, to become well known?
Yes, definitely. A person who is well versed with technology can become famous overnight. Who
has  not  heard  of  the  youngest  billionaire  of  the  world,  Mark  Zuckerberg,  the  founder  of
Facebook. Some songs and singers also became famous because of you tube videos.

Describe a quiet place
You should say:
- 
Where it is
- 
When you like to go there
- 
What you do there
- 
Why you like to visit there
•  It is very difficult to find quiet places in the fast paced life of today.
•  However, I would like to talk about a place where I go quite often and I find great peace
there.
•  The  place  I  am  referring  to  is  a  Sikh  temple  in  my  hometown,  GurdwaraSukhchainana
Sahib.
•  I go there once a week, sometimes with family and sometimes with friends.
•  Sometimes we walk to the gurdwara, and sometimes we go by car. It is about 3 km from
my home.
•  It is away from the main road, so it is very quiet there.
•  Whenever, I go there, I do circumambulation of the holy book inside the main hall, and
pay obeisance to the almighty.
•  There is a well-maintained fishpond in the gurdwara, which has many species of fish.
•  I  just  sit  on  the  steps  of  the  pond  and  listen  to  the  holy  chants  going  on  all  the  time
there.
•  It gives me great peace of mind.
•  Sometimes I take some bread from home and feed the fish.
•  There are two catfish among the other many, who seem to be talking to me.
•  I know it is all my imagination, but I love it over there.
•  I feel that the tempo of life has slowed down a bit.
•  It is so relaxing to watch the movements of the fish in the water.
•  This activity takes away all the physical and mental tiredness away from my body.
•  I feel very light-hearted after that.
•  Even though there is always a great rush in this temple, yet one can find peace and quiet
over there.
•  Sometimes, I offer voluntary services in the community kitchen over there.
•  Free food is offered to one and all in the community kitchen and this service is round the
clock.
•  I generally go there on weekends and spend a good two hours over there.
