One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a______ speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.

He said that since Swift doesn't want to be with the boy any more, she doesn't need to speak it aloud, she doesn't need to sing______she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite(伪君子).

Then he sang the song in a______way. The listeners laughed out loudly. I felt a little______ because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn't understand why they______ Swift.

As time goes on, I find many U. S. people make fun of others.______they don't mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at ______ get angry. Now I understand the speaker ______. Now I've got used to the way the U. S. people speak.
