In the last few decades, there have been more and more cases of famous people being hounded by the press. Some people think that famous people in the media should have no right to privacy. To what extent do you agree?

In today’s contemporary world, there is an ongoing debate regarding famous
people
Use synonyms
being followed by the
media
Use synonyms
and an incline in the number of cases of
this
Linking Words
issue.
While
Linking Words
some
people
Use synonyms
advocate that well-known individuals in the
media
Use synonyms
are not entitled to
privacy
Use synonyms
, I completely disagree with
this
Linking Words
point of view because everybody is entitled to
privacy
Use synonyms
regardless of their status. One compelling reason for my stance is that celebrities have their own private life just as every other common citizen.
Although
Linking Words
they are frequently exposed on television
due to
Linking Words
the nature of their careers, that does not mean their personal lives should be public as well. To support
this
Linking Words
, everybody has a family and personal hobbies in their lives which they prefer to be discrete. They should not be followed by a group of
people
Use synonyms
with cameras on whenever they leave their house.
For instance
Linking Words
, if they decide to go to their family member’s place, or spend the evening playing tennis, being hounded by
people
Use synonyms
during
this
Linking Words
time is stressful.
Moreover
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
will not only intrude on their
privacy
Use synonyms
but
also
Linking Words
destroy their peace as well.
This
Linking Words
is
in contrast
Linking Words
to the life of a common man who does not need to worry about their
privacy
Use synonyms
being invaded.
Therefore
Linking Words
, regardless of their fame in the
media
Use synonyms
,
people
Use synonyms
should have the right to
privacy
Use synonyms
.
In addition
Linking Words
, it is widely proven that being overexposed to the public may cause danger to one’s personal life. The majority of celebrities are wealthy and if their lives are constantly in press and published in
media
Use synonyms
, they might be blackmailed for money or robbed which might
also
Linking Words
put their families in danger.
This
Linking Words
can be better understood through the example of a celebrity’s house in California, USA has been robbed
as a result
Linking Words
of their family vacation being publicly announced by the
people
Use synonyms
in
media
Use synonyms
on television.
As a consequence
Linking Words
, the robber took advantage of the situation by tracking the social
media

account and planned a massive robbery overnight.
This
Linking Words
stresses that famous
people
Use synonyms
do need
privacy
Use synonyms
to avoid these kinds of unpleasant consequences. In conclusion, I firmly believe that celebrities have their right to
privacy
Use synonyms
due to
Linking Words
the reasons discussed despite their appearance on TV as part of their career and I disagree with the proponents who suggest
otherwise

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
