雅思口语里有一个关于令人羡慕的工作话题,有些孩子的终极梦想就是给自己的idol当经纪人,如果你也追星,一定可以明白为啥啦!不管这到底是不是真的一个令人羡慕的工作,我们还是可以想出来很多原因把它夸成是个超赞的工作的!

I’ve always wanted to be a manager of movie stars or singers.

First of all, I can make truckloads of money. I heard, I can get half the money my celebrity makes. That’s a huge amount of money, if you think about it. I mean, they can make more money than the rest of ordinary people do in a lifetime by just making a commercial. And some singers can also make a fortune by holding a concert. So the payment of being a manager is awesome.

Also, when my singer goes on tours or my actor needs to make a movie in a foreign country, I can travel around the world with him or her. I get to see exotic views and try tasty and authentic local food. Just the thought of it could make me pumped.

The best part is, I get to meet other celebrities in show business. I can dress up and go to award ceremonies with my stars, which must be fun.

Plus, it’s easier to know those celebrities’ gossips and the inside stories. I know it sounds like I’m spying, but I really want to know the truth. You know, what’s on the news about those celebrities are not always true, like who’s dating whom or who’s having an affair.

So that’s why it’s my dream job.

语言点解析:

truckload of somebody / something = the amount of somebody / something that fills a truck (often used to express the fact that an amount is large)例如:
