NEWS ITEM 1: Jerome Jarre: The Making of a Vine Celebrity


Jerome Jarre is 24 year-old boy that grew up in Albertville, France, just with his mother. He went to Chine and Toronto for business but he failed. Then he went to New York and discovered an app named Vine. He started making vines because it makes him happy and because he thought that it could be a way to make people smile. When he went to New York he had a basic level of English he had learned with an audiobook he listened to.

At first he wasn’t so famous but as the time went by he gained more and more followers. An ad agency offered him one million dollars to help them with an advertisement but he said no, he didn’t wanted to be under nobody’s orders. 

When he walked by a public place teenagers stopped him to take selfies with him. Mr Jarre calls his fans “friends” because he thinks the term “fans” sounds too hierarchical.


Jerome transmits happiness to his fans and he also transmits the spirit to do what you want when you want. He says that everyone should have a purpose in life, and when a journalist asked him which was his purpose, a teenage girl ran up to him and then he said: “My purpose is helping people find their purpose.”



I think Jerome has a special way to see the world and it’s amazing to see that one single person can get across to people so easily. He understands people’s minds in a way nobody does and that makes him special. The thing is that he arrived there in New York with nothing and increased himself, it’s simply amazing.

VOCABULARY : stunt, hierarchical, snowbaled, hiatus.
