Being a celebrity - such as 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?

#celebrity #film #star #sports #personality
It is said that living as a celebrity offers opportunities
as well as
 issues.
While
 there are some drawbacks associated with being famous, I believe its benefits are more substantial. On the one hand, a potential disadvantage of being popular and famous is the fact that these people usually have a tight schedule and have to meet several deadlines.
Consequently
, they fail to pay attention to their own interests.
For example
, Reza Attaran, a popular celebrity in our country, has been interested in playing the guitar,
however
,
due to
 his responsibilities, he could not learn it.
Moreover
,
such
 heavy workloads can lead to several health problems.
For example
, staying up through the night, because of practising, some actors suffer from sleep deprivation, which can lead to depression and poor decision-making abilities.
Furthermore
, they may indulge in fatty foods and fast food, resulting in obesity and indigestion.
On the other hand
, a primary advantage is that you are very likely to benefit from a lucrative career that matches your interests and talents, which can give you a sense of satisfaction because you can benefit from high standards of living and excellent amenities. Having a well-paid job, celebrities can confidently plan for the future, which offers peace of mind. A
further
 advantage is that you can easily participate in volunteer activities, which brings a sense of fulfilment. In
this
 regard, Cristiano Ronaldo, a famous soccer player, helps people who live in deprived areas on a yearly basis by donating a sizeable amount of money to charities. If he were not a rich sportsman, he would not be supportive and generous. On balance, in my view, it is true that being a celebrity would seem disadvantageous under certain circumstances. I believe its positives in terms of high standards of living and a sense of satisfaction override the negatives.

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
