M: [1] Do you mind taking my photo with the statue over there? I think it will make

a great shot.

W: Sure, no worries. You’re always taking photos. What do you do with all the

photos you take?

M: Well, don’t laugh. [2] My dream is to become an online celebrity of sorts.

W: You are not serious, are you?

M: I am, completely. I just got the idea a few months ago after posting some

holiday photos on my social media accounts. A lot of people liked my photos

and started asking me for travel tips. So I figured I’d give it a go. I post a lot on

social media anyway. So I’ve got nothing to lose.

W: I guess that’s true. So what do you have to do to become Internet famous?

M: Surprisingly a lot more than I did as a hobby. [3] Recently, I’ve been spending a

lot more time editing photos, posting online and clearing storage on my phone.

It’s always full now.

W: That doesn’t sound like too much work.

M: Well, there’s more to it. I spent all last weekend researching what topics are

popular, what words to use in captions and similar accounts to follow. It really

though. I increased the number of people following my accounts by 15%

already.

W: That is impressive. I guess I never thought much about all the effort behind the

scene. [4] Now that I think about it, there’s always something wrong with my

photos as it is—half smiles, closed eyes, messy hair. I hope you have better luck

than I do. Then again, I think the only person interested in my photos is my

mom.
