GETTING STARTED
- Hung and Quang are talking about famous people. Listen and read
Bài nghe:
Hung: The topic for tomorrow’s presentation is really interesting. Have you decided who to talk about, Quang?
Quang: Not yet. I’m still wavering between two famous people, Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson. I admire them both.
Hung: But who’s had a greater impact on you?
Quang: I’m not sure … Steve Jobs’s work stimulates my creativity and innovation, while Michael Jackson’s music inspired me to learn to play a musical instrument. What do you think?
Hung: Well, both of them were very talented and influential, but I prefer Steve Jobs. I think Michael Jackson was a great dancer, but not an excellent singer. In his later years, his singing voice became weak and thin and wasn’t as good as before.
Quang: I see. What about you? Who are you going to talk about?
Hung: Christine Ha.
Quang: You mean … the lady who won the US MasterChef trophy in 2012?
Hung: That’s right.
Quang: I know your dream is to become a famous chef. Is that why you want to talk about her?
Hung: Yes. What’s more, Christine is a blind chef and a gifted writer. She’s very talented and determined. It was absolutely amazing to watch her use all the kitchen tools and prepare the dishes.
Quang: I agree. I remember how excited I felt when Christine was creating those great-looking dishes … and even anxious when the judges were tasting them. By the way, do you know where she was born? In Viet Nam or the US?
Hung: In California, but she was inspired by memories of her mum’s cooking.
Quang: It seems you know quite a lot about her. Good luck with your presentation tomorrow!
Hung: The same to you!
