Are famous people treated unfairly by the media? Should they be given more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private life? Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is common for celebrities to attract the kind of media attention that focuses on their negative traits or unpleasant facts about them. Some
people
 often start blaming the media for unfairness or even saying that the lives of famous
people
 are being violated, while others claim that it is quite fair that
this
 special attention comes together with positive perks of fame. In my opinion, in the absolute majority of

 the negative coverage is deserved or at least adequate. The proponents of the claims about unfairness usually refer to privacy as

 to a tabloid. No one would like it to happen to themselves, and
therefore
 it is natural to feel some compassion. Many
people
 nowadays cannot take these claims from famous
people
 and their fans seriously. There are exceptions to that, but most celebrities hold
this
 status by a conscious choice, and when their career path starts, they know what they are signing up for. For their everyday, functioning life, within industries
such
 as popular music, or acting, famous
people
 require exposure relating to their work. The most financially successful famous
people
 are often the most scandalous,
such
 as the Kardashians or Ariana Grande, and when they start complaining about being too exposed, it's hard to believe them. Summarizing the above, privacy that most
people
 want is unfortunately incompatible with a celebrity lifestyle, and the lack of it for famous
people
 is not unfair, but just part of the industry within which they work.

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
