Task 2

Question:

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 problems?

Many people believe that being famous, as a celebrity, gives you pros and constras, that
is to say, give you a little bit of everything. I agree with this point to some extent and in
this essay I will support it with some examples and reflexions on my personal beliefs. Commented [SP3]: Excelente parráfo. Ideas claras,
redacción congruente, vocabulario amplio. Has mejorado,
sigue así.
First of all being famous as a celebrity, means that your are exposed to public opinion
most of the time, which turn your private life to no more than your own housereduce to
hidden places an your own house. For example Hollywood or Bollywood actors and
actress cannot get into a pub or a bar without being noticed by someone, which means if
they get drunk or go out with someone, it will be on the news, magazines or on the
gossips channels the next day. Also people who are sports celebrities are not allow to be
mistakenmake mistakes, it means if you are a tennis player and you lost athe match,
your fans will be very disappointed and then you will have a lot of pressure, that means,
you will have to concern about everybody´s opinion about your performance. Commented [SP4]: No necesariamente. Pero si es lo
que piensas, pues está bien. Por ejemplo, muchos critican
a Messi, crees que a él le importa?
On the other hand celebrities have a lot of benefits, and their life becomes very luxurious
and easy going in terms of money and comfort. In some cases celebrities get an sponsor
and they will get a lot of goods such as food, cars, jewellery, clothes, properties and so
on, as an example it is very common that for football players to get sponsored by brands
such as Adidas, Nike and similar onessome others that sells sport elements and clothes.
Those brands will give the players massive amounts of money just for wearing their
products in public. It is common to see paparazzispaparazzi photographsy’s of
Hollywood actors wearing Diesel jeans or Michael Kors bags and watches, thatwatches is
because they get sponsored. In addition celebrities are always traveling a lot, so it is Commented [SP5]: This is redundant.
common that they get involved with many cultures all around the globe, which increases
their fame and allows them to be more influential as starts.

To sum up, although being a celebrity will give you a lot of benefits related with money
and recognition, I believe that is more important to have a private life than having the
nicest car in the market or traveling every 4 days.
