The question is from Cambridge 9 Book

Answer

There is no doubt that everyone has a passion for achieving fame. While being a public personality brings happiness and financial satisfaction, a number of problems emerge in correlation to fame.

To begin, celebrities can make large fortunes with comparatively less effort than others make. In other words, being a public figure affords them the opportunity to do what they like. Not to mention, celebrities often earn the love and respect of their audience.

On the other hand, the more famous the celebrity is, the more busy they will become. For instance, in an interview, the Canadian singer Celine Dion averred that it had not been easy to balance between work and personal life with regard to time. She also said that she had had to disappear away from the lights for two years to look after her husband who was terminally ill. Moreover, public personalities find it hard to enjoy their privacy without violation. They are often chased by critics, audiences or media properiers(<--What is 'properiers'?).

Looking at both sides of the discussion, my own sentiments are on par with the idea that being a celebrity brings happiness as long as you manage to devote a certain amount of time to both work and family.

To sum up, it has been clear that the pros of being a celebrity slightly outweigh the cons.

Firstly , I,m grateful for you and for David for your replies

Then , I saw that media properiers is a meaningless expression , I meant ( media proprietor ) .. that,s the correct word to say .

Finally , I,t clear that I need much effort to attain my target IELTS score . It,s not easy I know .

The interesting thing is that I used to get full marks in english exams at school as a student

The problem bases in the way english is taught in some countries . They focus only on isolated vocabulary and theoritical grammer . The result is a student who is unable to use or employ what he has learnt to communicate in english neither in speaking nor in writing . Even english teachers here in my country are unable to run a complete conversation . so I did not practice english well . However , It,s never late to learn anything or make any accomplishment , so I will never give up hope . One day , I ,ll speak and write in english fluently .

Thank you again .
