Língua Inglesa / Itens gramaticais relevantes para compreensão dos conteúdos semânticos


I’ m sure a lot of people in the media are terribly
lonely if they just admit it. That’s why you see them in
bars, because they have nowhere to go. They turn to drink
to deaden the effect. Being famous is like being extremely
beautiful, in that it makes you seem extremely distant.
It can be very difficult for someone like me to
go into a bar, for instance. People stare, and come over
and ask for an autograph, which is very nice and
flattering, but the assumption is always: "What on earth
is he doing here?" Initially it is very easy to meet people,
but it is always very superficial, and they are always the
same kind of people.

Like other broadcasters, I am quite timid, but I was also
very ambitious, and that didn’t leave me much time for friendship.
Eventually you can begin to enjoy loneliness and
stop feeling sorry for yourself. I have a great job which
compensates for a lot. I have one really good friend I’ve
known for years, and I feel you can’t have everything. S. Greenall and D. Pye. Cambridge skills for fluency Cambridge.
