| DO YOU LIKE CELEBRITIES? |
A celebrity, also referred to as a celeb in popular culture, is a person who has a prominent profile and commands a great degree of public fascination and influence in day-to-day media. The term is synonomous with wealth.
Celebrities are primarily individuals who work as film and television actors and actresses, athletes, musicians, and a host other media-based professions, particularly within the spheres of the sports and entertainment (e.g. music, film, television, radio, modelling, literature etc.).
Sometimes people become celebrities due to media attention for their extravagant lifestyle or wealth; for their connection to a famous person or even because they appear in reality shows and staff like that.
Some people would do everything to get 5 minutes of fame. In our present society, the rise or the celebrity culture is a fact and the mass media have contributed to that. Everyone who appears on the media becomes famous and admirable. Do you agree with this?VOICETHREAD.

I've browsed a little through your blog and it is most interesting. Thank you for becoming a follower of mine. I will be delighted to follow yours too.
Hiya!!
i´ve corrected your recordings and in general they are quite good, so I´m quite happy about what you have done. You have gone through the different items in a very successful way and you have used lots of nice adjectives. In general, the vocabulary you have used to describe the different celebrities is varied and the ideas are well-connected.
I will comment some general mistakes in class, basically related to pronunciation problems and some minor grammar mistakes.
WELL-DONE!!!
