Part 2: Describe a person that you want to see he/she live perform? (singer, dancer,…)

- What types of song she/he sings
- And explain why you like his/her music.
1. Bài mẫu (Sample)
A famous person I would love to meet is G-Dragon. He’s a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, and fashion icon, best known as the leader of the K-pop group BIGBANG. He’s not only an incredibly talented artist but also a trailblazer in the music and fashion industries.
During the first decade of the 21st century, when the Korean music industry still paid too much attention to pop, BIGBANG and G-Dragon were renowned for their hip-hop music, innovative style, and charismatic stage presence. GD has written and produced many of BIGBANG’s greatest hits, and his solo albums have also received critical acclaim. What sets him apart is his artistic versatility, as he constantly pushes boundaries, whether through his music or fashion, such a one of a kind artist I’ve ever known.
I’d like to meet him because I find him exceptionally inspiring. He’s someone who’s not afraid to be different, and he has played a huge role in putting Korean pop culture on the global map. I would love to ask him what his secret sauce to be a successful leader is, not only in a boy group, but also in the music industry. And I’m also curious about how he deals with the pressure of being a cultural icon and a trendsetter, especially in an industry known for its intense scrutiny and high expectations.
Seeing him performing on stage would be a dream come true and I think I’m gonna realize it in no time. Next month, he will hold a concert in My Dinh Stadium and there will be also the presence of some other well-known artists. Meeting him would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from someone who has redefined what it means to be a modern artist.

Part 3:
1. Do you think that famous people are generally happier than ordinary people?
Not necessarily. While famous people often have wealth, recognition, and access to exclusive experiences, these don’t always translate into genuine happiness. In fact, being in the public eye constantly can be mentally exhausting. Many celebrities struggle with stress, anxiety, or a lack of privacy. On the other hand, ordinary people may lead more peaceful and balanced lives, surrounded by authentic relationships and without the pressure of public scrutiny.
- recognition: sự công nhận
- translate into: biến thành
- mentally exhausting: mệt mỏi về mặt tinh thần
- public scrutiny: sự giám sát của công chúng
2. What qualities does a person need to have in order to be famous?
I believe determination and resilience are crucial, especially in competitive fields like entertainment or sports. Creativity and talent are important too, but without perseverance, it’s difficult to stand out. Nowadays, communication skills and a strong social media presence can also play a big role. Ultimately, it’s a combination of skill, personality, and sometimes, the right opportunities at the right time.
- resilience: sự bền bỉ
- crucial: quan trọng
- perseverance: sự kiên trì
- stand out: nổi bật
3. Is it easier or more difficult to achieve fame today than in your grandparents’ time?
I think it’s both easier and more difficult in different ways. On one hand, the internet and social media have made it possible for almost anyone to become famous overnight. People can go viral and build a following without traditional gatekeepers like TV or newspapers. However, this also means there’s a lot more competition, and maintaining fame requires constant content creation and engagement. In my grandparents’ time, fame was harder to achieve but often longer-lasting.
- go viral: trở nên nổi tiếng
- constant: liên tục
- longer-lasting: kéo dài lâu hơn
4. Do you think more is expected from famous people than ordinary citizens?
Absolutely. Society tends to hold celebrities to higher standards, expecting them to act as role models and speak out on important issues. When they make mistakes, they’re often judged more harshly than regular people. While it may seem unfair, I suppose it comes with the territory. Their influence gives them power, but also responsibility, whether they like it or not.
- role model: hình mẫu
- judge: phán xét
- harshly: một cách khắc nghiệt
