Daily IELTS Answer – A Comic Actor (Band 6.5)

Describe a comic actor in your country

“I’d like to talk about Dolphy. He’s considered the king of comedy in the Philippines. I think his career started in the 1950’s and I remember seeing him for the first time on TV in the 90’s when I was a kid. He is a legend. What makes him really special is that his jokes are really funny. You will never get bored. He will tell you a joke you have never heard before and sometimes we can associated his jokes to the latest trends, which is why a lot of people still love him. You will never think he is OUT OF STYLE. His jokes are timeless. Unfortunately, he died a few years ago due to some respiratory problems, so a lot of people will not be able to witness future shows from him, but he has done over 100 films that you can watch ON the internet or you can view on some DVDs of his movies, so that the younger generation can still be entertained.” (1:53)
+Collocation: out of style – unfashionable, unpopular – “He will never go out of style.”
+Vocab: timeless (adj.) – always relevant, popular – “His jokes are timeless.”
+Preposition: on the internet – on = technology – on Facebook – on the Internet – on TV – on the radio
