Part 1:
- Example 1 - Who is your favorite celebrity in your country?
Answer: I guess not only me, a number of young people have been highly impressed by her for the past months - Deshauna Barber. She is our 2016 Miss USA and the representative of the USA in Miss Universe taking place in Las Vegas in the same year. After the beauty contests, she became well-known for her outstanding beauty, her amazing characteristics and also her professionalism.
- Example 2 - Would you like to be a celebrity? Why?
Answer: Well though I've never thought about it, I'm pretty sure that rising to stardom would never be one of my life goals. I appreciate all the efforts that the celebrities, no matter which field they're working on, are making every single day. However, I find myself not belonging to that world, I mean, you never know what's going on when the curtains close, right? So yeah, I don't think I want to become a public figure, to be honest.

Part 2:
- Example 1 - Describe a celebrity that you admire.
Answer: I would like to talk about my favorite Vietnamese footballer, who is also a monument in my mind because of his unending perseverance, it is Cong Vinh, who used to be a striker in the National football team. Literally, he has gained a reputation for himself for both being talented and being a dedicated husband and father in the family. Although having retired from professional competing, he has still contributed to the growth of football in Vietnam by doing coaching work and building a football center to recruit young talents in this sport. When he was in the National football team, he and his co-players became the champion of AFF Suzuki Cup in 2008, which took the country by storm and made headlines at that time. Besides, He is admired for his marriage with his wife, Thuy Tien — also a well-known singer. They are true philanthropists who have done a lot of charity work together that has helped many people across the country. He is also loved for leading a simple and happy life when everyday we can see his posts about his family's activities on Facebook. I hope that he will be a role model for people in our country, continue his work and do good things for many people.
- Example 2 - Describe a lesson you learn from a celebrity.
Answer: Well, the celebrity that I admire the most is Ellen Degeneres. To me, she is not a mere comedian but a monument of courage to be her true self. As you know, she is famous for proudly and publicly announcing herself being lesbian although there has been certain prejudice. (Example) She is also an active LCBT activist who has fought for LGBT's rights and inspires people to live with their true selves without being afraid of society's thoughts on them. She is talented and has a great sense of humor and she has been the host of one of the most viewed shows in the world for over ten years, "The Ellen Degeneres Show". Besides, Ellen is a very kind, helpful woman because she raises fund from sponsors on a regular basis to help her impoverished audience. (Example) Another interesting fact about her is that her way of hosting is so alluring that I cannot keep my eyes off the screen during the show. At the end of each episode, she always carries the message "Be kind to one another", which is a type of motivation for people to get on well with those around them. In other words, she is the role model for my life and I wish I could see her once in my lifetime.

Part 3:
- Example 1 - What do you think about the impact of celebrities' style on the youth nowadays?
Answer: Well, in my perspective, celebrities now appear stylish and often wear high-end clothes to show off their status. (Example) The clothes are from both domestic and international brands that cost a fortune. Also, many celebrities want to be trend-setters, from which youngsters can learn from their style. (Example) Gucci or Off-white or Balenciaga is favored by a lot of famous people and the youth nowadays also own items from these luxury brands to appear like their idols despite their expensive price.
- Example 2 - How can a celebrity negatively affect the brand image that they advertise for?
