Interview with a Famous Actor I

Tom: Yes, I'm learning dialog for a new film called "The Man About Town".
Interviewer: What do you do in the afternoon?
Tom: First I have lunch, then I go to the studio and shoot some scenes.
Interviewer: Which scene are you working on today?
Tom: I'm acting out a scene about an angry lover.
Interviewer: That's very interesting. What do you do in the evening?
Tom: In the evening, I go home and have dinner and study my scripts.
Interviewer: Do you go out at night?
Tom: Not always, I like going out at weekends.

He usually gets up early and goes to the gym.
How often do you travel for work?
She doesn't work from home.
The present continuous is used to speak about what is happening at this specific moment in time, as well as around the current moment in time:
I'm studying French for a test right now. (at this moment)
What are you working on this week? (around current moment)
They're getting ready to open the new store. (at this moment / around current moment)
Interview with a Famous Actor II
Interviewer: Let's talk about your career. How many films have you made?
Tom: That's a hard question. I think I've made more than 50 films!
Interviewer: Wow. That's a lot! How many years have you been an actor?
Tom: I've been an actor since I was ten years old. In other words, I've been an actor for twenty years.
Interviewer: That's impressive. Do you have any future projects?
Tom: Yes, I do. I'm going to focus on making a few documentaries next year.
Interviewer: That sounds great. Do you have any plans beyond that?
Tom: Well, I'm not sure. Maybe I will become a film director, and maybe I'll just retire.
Interviewer: Oh, please don't retire! We love your films!
Tom: That's very kind of you. I'm sure I'll make a few more films.
Interviewer: That's good to hear. Thank you for the interview.
Tom: Thank you.
Key Vocabulary II

future projects = work that you will do in the future
focus on something = try to do only one thing
documentary = a type of film about something that happened in real life

The second section of the interview focuses on the actors experience from the past to the present. Use the present perfect when speaking about experience over time:

He's made more than fifteen documentaries.
She's worked at that position since 1998.
The future forms going to and will are used to speak about the future. Notice that going to is used with future plans whereas will is used to predict the future.
I'm going to visit my uncle next week.
They're going to open up a new store in Chicago.
I think I'll take a vacation in June, but I'm not sure.
She thinks he'll get married soon.
