The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
So, if a certain English speaker is asking you whether you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, or what's your horoscope. Then you could tell him, "Oi, don't be nosy! It's none of your business." If you simply want to say "he is a very 八卦 person," then you could say, "Be careful, don't tell him. He's a very nosy person."
