[00:00:01]Welcome to my channel. Let's practice your listening skill with video level B1 and the topic is show off.

[00:00:11]Now listen carefully.

[00:00:14]Anna, have you noticed how people on social media keep talking about that famous Tik Tocker becoming an MC and actress lately?

[00:00:21]>> Of course, the internet has been full of arguments these past few days. Honestly, I still can't believe how fast her career changed.

[00:00:30]>> Same here. A few years ago, she was mostly famous because of controversial Tik Tok videos and online drama. But now, suddenly, she's hosting television programs, acting in movies, and even appearing in national shows. That's exactly why people are confused. Some people spend their whole lives studying journalism, media, acting or public speaking, but they still struggle for years just to get a small opportunity.

[00:00:57]Meanwhile, one Tik Tocker becomes famous online and suddenly gets everything.

[00:01:02]>> Yeah, many people are starting to lose faith in education and hard work because of cases like this.

[00:01:08]>> Especially young people. Imagine studying for 4 years at university, learning professional skills properly, doing internships, working day and night, but then someone with almost no professional background enters the industry through social media fame and climbs faster than everyone else.

[00:01:26]>> Honestly, that's the part that makes society question things. People wonder if talent and education still matter or if popularity is the only thing important now. And the problem is her past image was very controversial, too.

[00:01:40]People keep digging up old clips of her doing strange content online, wearing revealing clothes, creating drama, or acting in ways that many considered attention-seeking.

[00:01:51]>> Yeah, I saw those clips again recently.

[00:01:54]Some netisonens even joke that she tries to do everything at once, painting, teaching, acting, reading books emotionally, designing houses. But people feel like none of it looks truly professional.

[00:02:07]>> Exactly. There's even a term people use online now. Performative girl, >> right? Someone who always looks perfect in front of the camera and creates content that feels carefully staged for attention.

[00:02:20]>> Like those videos where she acts deeply emotional while reading books or cries beautifully in front of the camera. Many viewers feel like everything is planned to build a perfect image instead of showing her real self.

[00:02:34]>> But at the same time, some people defend her too.

[00:02:37]>> True. Some people say at least she is trying to improve herself. And honestly, compared to her old image, she really changed a lot.

[00:02:46]>> That's why this topic is so complicated because whether people like her or not, her progress is unbelievably fast.

[00:02:53]>> Exactly. That's what shocks people the most. Usually becoming a professional MC takes many years. You need good speaking skills, confidence, knowledge, experience, and proper training.

[00:03:05]>> But suddenly, she appears on important television programs like Everything Happened Overnight.

[00:03:11]>> Meanwhile, there's another female MC people keep comparing her to.

[00:03:15]>> You mean the girl who studied seriously and worked quietly for many years?

[00:03:19]>> Yeah. Her name is Hannah in this story.

[00:03:22]She graduated from a top university, speaks many languages, continued studying for a master's degree, trained herself constantly, and worked step by step for years before becoming recognized.

[00:03:34]>> And even then, she still struggled for a long time just to keep her MC position stable.

[00:03:40]>> Exactly. That's why many people feel frustrated. One person spends years building a career slowly with education and effort while another person with a controversial past suddenly becomes famous everywhere very quickly.

[00:03:54]>> Honestly, I think that difference is what hurts people emotionally, >> especially young ordinary people without connections, rich families or powerful supporters behind them. They start asking themselves, "Why am I studying this hard if popularity can beat qualifications?"

[00:04:11]Yeah, some people even feel hopeless.

[00:04:14]They think success today depends more on fame and attention than real ability.

[00:04:19]>> But at the same time, society also works differently now. Social media changed everything. Television companies care about views, attention, and online traffic too.

[00:04:30]>> Exactly. Even if people criticize her, they still keep talking about her. And attention itself becomes power.

[00:04:37]>> That's the scary part. Sometimes controversy brings more opportunities than quiet hard work.

[00:04:43]>> But honestly, I still think long-term success depends on real ability.

[00:04:48]>> I agree. Going viral is one thing.

[00:04:51]Staying respected for 10 or 20 years is something completely different >> because eventually audiences will notice whether someone truly has skills or not.

[00:05:01]>> Exactly. A beautiful image can attract attention at first, but professionalism is what keeps people respected for a long time.

[00:05:09]>> I think that's why many people admire Hannah more. Her journey feels realistic and inspiring.

[00:05:15]>> Yeah, she represents people who quietly improve themselves every day without creating scandals or chasing attention.

[00:05:22]>> Meanwhile, the Tik Tocker story feels almost unbelievable to many people.

[00:05:27]>> Honestly, I don't fully hate her. Maybe she really is trying hard, but I understand why society questions everything, >> especially because her transformation happened too quickly, >> right? People can accept improvement, but when someone changes from controversial Tik Tocker to national television MC in such a short time, of course, society will ask questions.

[00:05:50]>> At the end of the day, I think the situation reflects modern society perfectly.

[00:05:55]>> What do you mean? Fame is becoming stronger than traditional paths. In the past, people slowly climbed step by step. Now, social media can completely change someone's life overnight.

[00:06:08]>> That's true. And honestly, it creates both inspiration and frustration at the same time.

[00:06:14]>> But maybe the most important thing is this. Trends can create popularity, but only real ability can create respect.

[00:06:22]>> Wow, that actually sounds really deep.

[00:06:25]>> Thank you. I learned it after being unemployed for two months and scrolling Tik Tok every night.

[00:06:30]>> Tom, >> I'm joking. Mostly.

[00:06:36]>> Anna, have you noticed how people on social media keep talking about that famous Tik Tocker becoming an MC and actress lately?
