Intermediate (Semester II)
Do you like taking photographs?
I do. I really enjoy doing that. Taking pictures seem fascinating to everyone. The first time I took a picture was with an old Sony camera. I got impressed my pictures came out pretty well. Now, I take pictures to post them on Facebook or Instagram. I guess, I have taken pictures for around 10 years. If I were a photographer, I would travel around the world to take the greatest shots.
Do you think you are good at it?
I am. I’m sure I take great photos for my friends or sometimes on especial occasions. Last time I took pictures was on Sunday. We went to a river near my town to spend some time having fun. I took some pictures and shared them afterwards. My friend Jenny loved my pictures.
What do professional photographers take pictures of?
I guess they take pictures depending on people’s needs. If they want, for instance, pictures with stories, photographers will take lots of them to recreate an event. Could be a wedding, a soccer match, or just a birthday party. Who knows?
What are the advantages or disadvantages of being a photographer?
Some photographers must be in good physical condition since they may be asked to take pictures on dangerous hills or from boats in the river or sea. However, I guess it sounds easy to be a photographer. Creativity counts a lot.
Do you take a lot of photographs with your mobile phone?
A few times. Cell phones are not good for professional photos, they are mainly for social networks. I posted a few pictures last Sunday. They look good!
What do you do with your photographs after you have taken them?
As I said before, mainly for social networks. I think for social media, we should use a professional camera. We want to give a good impression to our viewers. The right impression on your audience counts a lot.
Have you ever played tennis or any other racket sport?
I have. However, it was not good. I tried to give a good impression when playing with a few friends. I have tried playing tennis since 2010. Not often, though. Once a year, sort of like that. Just for fun.
Do you think it’s an exciting sport to watch on TV?
I watch tennis mainly when it’s the final or a famous tennis player will play against another good tennis player. The game seems quite interesting to watch and give comments about it.
Do you know anything about the history of other sports?
Something about soccer. It started in England, but Brazilians played it better. Now this game is played around the world. Best soccer players make lots of money. I believe they are overpaid. Soccer is just a game, they should make less money, not millions of Euros or Dollars. That’s my personal opinion. You may disagree with me.
Can you think of any sports that have changed a lot over the ages?
I’m not quite sure about it. For instance, soccer is played on the field or the game court. They have championships around the world. One of them is the most loved by players and fans, the World Cup. Every country wants to take part in it, but just the best ones could join them. I would play in several soccer clubs if I were a famous soccer player.
Have you ever visited Paris? Would you like to?
I haven’t been there yet. Who knows? Probably in a few years. I still need to save more money to travel to Paris. I would like to take lots of pictures and try some French food. Hope I can do it soon. Moreover, I would say it is a trip everyone should take, at least once in a lifetime.
How do you think Paris compares to other European cities?
From my point of view, Paris is visited by people from many countries. Besides, I’ve heard about French food, traditional tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and the museums. It is called the City of Lights. I know it is easy to travel now, we just need some money to go and come back.
Have you ever explored a cave?
Once I was in Tingo Maria, Peru. I got a bit scared at the Cave of Owls, which is a deep, dark, and damp cave located in the rainforest. I guess it could be used for a horror movie. You’ll get scared easily as soon as you get there. Some people rent flashlights to enter the cave. You should try it.
Why do you think people find caves interesting?
Who knows? Probably to enjoy darkness and mud. I wanted to see since they are visited as a tourist attraction. The positive side of it is the pictures. They look amazing.
Are there any famous caves in your country?
As I said previously, yes. I know there are more caves to see in my country, but I haven’t been there yet. Probably in the near future, I’ll see them.
Would you be interested in taking up caving?
I guess not. I could just go to see it and take pictures. They look dangerous and scary. Actually, I enjoy some other stuff like sports, boat trips, or jogging.
