[speaker001:] have you read the feature article about Oprah Winfrey in this magazine?
[speaker002:] no, what's it about?
[speaker001:] apparently, she's being given an award for donating so much money to charity.
[speaker002:] she's very generous with her money. I think that's because she was poor when she was young.
[speaker001:] I heard that she's one of the wealthiest women in the world.
[speaker002:] I'd believe it. She owns magazines, television shows and she has a huge fan base.
[speaker001:] you know; I heard that she was opening a school for underprivileged girls in Africa.
[speaker002:] did they mention that in the article?
[speaker001:] yes, she's not only building the school, but is also using her own money for the upkeep of the school and to pay the teachers a fair salary.
[speaker002:] that's really commendable. I think more celebrities should use their money to help people like Oprah has.
[speaker001:] I agree. So many celebrities waste their money on sports cars, expensive clothing, and luxurious hotels.
[speaker002:] it's amazing how much money they can spend. I heard Britney Spears once spent $ 24,000 a night on a hotel room!
[speaker001:] what a waste. It's good to see some stars that are more concerned with charity than status symbols.
