Being a celebrity – such as a famous film star or sports personality – brings problems as well as benefits. Do you think that being a celebrity brings more benefits or more problems?

People
usually look upon celebrities as ‘divine creatures’, individuals with special benefits/attributes, while in reality what they truly are is normal
people
with talents that have made them famous. Being a celebrity, like any other job, may bring both benefits as well as problems. Correctly balancing the two faces of the coin actually relies on the celebrity’s ability to do so. When asked if they would like to become a celebrity, most
people
would answer positively. The condition of fame and popularity is often sought after, especially because of the privileges that
such
a position grants. Being famous, not only means that you are known and sometimes admired by a great majority of the population

, the reality is very different from what it may appear. Popularity in fact has many negative sides that are often ignored because of its positive ones. Celebrities struggle with privacy and often aspects of their personal life are open to the public. Especially for those who are very famous, their lives are continuously at risk and they are obliged to be surrounded by personal security. Secrets don’t

towards the wrong opinion. Being a celebrity is not easy and requires many sacrifices that most of us wouldn’t be willing to make.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
