(Directions: Read the dialogue aloud with your teacher.)
A reporter is interviewing a famous actor in the studio.
Reporter
: We would like to express our sincere gratitude for letting us interview you today and for
giving us a bit of your time despite your busy schedule.
Actor
: It’s always been my pleasure to be invited on this show.
Reporter
: Could you tell us about your daily routine whenever you don’t have any interviews and photo
or movie shoots?
Actor
: Sure. Like ordinary people, I usually get up early, around 6 – 7 in the morning to go shopping.
Then, I go jogging around our place. After that, my wife and I have breakfast, which she
prepares. My wife is a good cook, I must say, but usually, I have a busy work schedule, so we
don’t eat together as often as I would like to. That simple daily routine seldom occurs.
Reporter
: What makes you busy these days?
Actor
: Well, I have been casted in a new movie, so I have to go to the shooting almost every day. In
between those days, I have to have some photo shoots for the new brand I am currently
endorsing. I am also doing some advertisements. I also need to attend events that are
necessary for the promotion of the movie and, of course, TV appearances are very important.
Reporter
: Oh, I see. That is really hectic. I wonder how your wife feels about it. You must have very
limited time with each other.
Actor
: My wife is very understanding and supportive, so I am very thankful for that.
Reporter
: Wow. That is so sweet of her.
