贝克汉姆的素材也可以搞定好多雅思口语话题,他本身是位soccer player,所以满足了sportsman的要求,另外,popular person也绝对符合啊!再看看interesting foreigner,如果你关注过他的社交网络,就知道他绝对的interesting了!另外,看着他宠溺小七的样子,good parent也绝对够格!
聊他的角度简直太多了,下面的各个方面,大家各取所需吧:
I’d like to talk about David Beckham who’s an accomplished soccer player. He became famous when he was quite young, and his achievement in this field is remarkable. I heard because of his contribution to his country, he got rewarded by the Queen, and he even got invited to Prince William’s wedding ceremony.
I have to say, he’s definitely the most handsome soccer player in the whole wide world. He’s got fans all over the globe, I mean, girls are crazy about him. Now he’s over 40, but he’s still charming and gorgeous. Besides, he’s got great taste in fashion, I mean, he’s like a trendsetter, many people like to copy the way he dresses. And he’s also endorsed countless fashion brands.
Oh, and I have to mention his picture-perfect family. His wife is Victoria who’s a singer and fashion designer. They have 4 children, 3 boys and a cute girl. David has got a strong sense of responsibility to his family. As a public figure, his schedule is so tight, but he could always make time for his wife and children. We can constantly see him on the news that he’s having a vacation with his family.
And speaking of his family, I’m really jealous of the relationship between David and his sons. They are just like friends, you know. Once, when his oldest son was talking to his fans in a video, his son proudly announced that he’s got over a million followers on Instagram, but David came over and said, ‘Big deal, I’ve got 10 million more.’ So you see, he’s really humorous.
And his little son always keeps a low profile, he doesn’t enjoy living in the public eye, so when he was little, he didn’t want David to drive him to school ‘cause that would attract so much attention. But David was just like a naughty boy, you know. He would deliberately wait for his son at the school gate, and shout ‘I love you’ in front of all his schoolmates. I think those harmless jokes are really interesting.
And as far as I know, he’s not a man who’s good at expressing his feelings and his love for his children, but we can tell that from small details in life. For example, he insisted that he should be there when his boy was getting his first tattoo, and he was really sad when he knew that his boy would be moving out after turning 18. So you see, such a tough man actually has a soft heart, and I’m sure that’s what makes him a good parent.
