IELTS Speaking Part 2 and 3: Actors and Actresses
I have watched “The Devil Wears Prada” several times, especially during train rides when I was feeling bored. The movie’s protagonist is Anne Hathaway, but the actress I greatly admire is Meryl Streep, who portrayed the character of Miranda, the CEO of a prominent company. Miranda is depicted as the antagonist in the film, a terrifying boss who is highly critical. Being in the fashion industry, she scrutinizes everyone’s fashion choices.
The reason I admire Meryl Streep is that I have seen her in various films, and she exhibits remarkable versatility in her acting. She can effortlessly portray the sweetest of characters, as well as the most demanding individuals like Miranda in this film. As a woman myself, I feel a connection with her portrayal because being a woman in the workplace can be challenging in today’s society. It requires strength and resilience. When I watched this movie, I felt a resonance with Meryl Streep’s character, and I truly admire the depth she brought to the role.
Part 3
Are actors or actresses very interested in their work? Why?
As a non-industry worker, I believe that there are actors and actresses who are genuinely interested in their work. However, there are also those who are primarily motivated by financial considerations and may not be as passionate about their profession. Some individuals may feel compelled to continue working in the industry due to limited options or circumstances beyond their control.
Is being a professional actor or actress a good career?
Being a professional actor or actress can be a good career for some individuals, but it is not suitable for everyone. Success in the industry is often unpredictable, with talented individuals struggling to break through while others with limited skills may gain significant roles due to their physical appearance or overnight popularity. It requires a unique set of circumstances and only a few individuals achieve true success in the competitive world of show business.
What can children learn from acting?
Children can learn a variety of things through acting, such as the ability to express emotions effectively. Acting classes often teach children how to convey different emotions and articulate their feelings through words and gestures. Early exposure to acting can help children develop strong communication skills and the confidence to express themselves.
Why do children like special costumes?
Children are often drawn to special costumes because they make them feel special, pretty, or powerful. For example, young girls may enjoy wearing princess dresses to experience a sense of beauty and elegance, while boys may prefer superhero costumes like Spider-Man or Superman to feel strong and powerful. Special costumes can provide children with a sense of empowerment and allow them to tap into their imagination.
What are the differences between actors or actresses who earn much and those who earn little?
Actors or actresses who earn higher salaries often have more creative decision-making power and may be able to negotiate changes with directors or the script. A-list Hollywood actors can exert influence and make specific requests, while B-list actors may have less control over their portrayals and need to follow the director’s instructions more closely. Additionally, higher-earning actors often have leverage in negotiating their pay based on their ability to attract audiences and generate revenue for the studios.
What are the differences between acting in theater and acting in film?
In theater, actors must perform accurately and precisely without the luxury of reshoots or retakes. The live nature of theater requires meticulous preparation and consistency in every performance. On the other hand, acting in films involves working with a team within the industry, and there is less direct interaction with the audience during filming. Another difference is the work schedule, as theater actors may have to perform multiple shows per week, sometimes even three shows in a day, while film actors have more flexibility and can rest between takes.
