IELTS Writing Task2

Do you agree or disagree that celebrities are paid for too much money?

Today, famous people such as actors, singers and sportsmen earn great money. Some people think they deserve this amount of money. I personally disagree. I think that earning such excessive amount of money is not fair when many people hardly can handle their lives.

Some people believe that star's high salaries are justified, because of their talent and hard working to become the best. My view is that everyone has their own special talent and ability. Also most of us work hard to become professional in our field. For example, nurses and teachers are talented and they work really hard, but their salaries are not comparable with celebritie's.

In addition, some professions such as doctors, scientists and engineers require spending years at university. Also they play an important role in the growth of their society, while celebrities are often born with their talent, and they usually have personal goals.

Moreover, high salaries of celebrities can effect the young generation. Nowadays, children do not pay attention to their favorite field, and they do not follow their talent, because they want to have luxury lifestyle and expensive cars and houses like famous people. So all of them want to become celebrities, but other professionals such as doctors, engineers and teachers are important as much as actors, singers and athletes and Society needs other professions, so l think it is bad for society.

To sum up, in my opinion, famous people receive a payment that they do not deserve. They should not be paid more than other jobs which involve high risk, responsibility and skills.
