Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.
The fast development of communication technology, such as internet, satellite signals and printing, has changed our life so significantly that we are exposed to millions of news and information every day. Newspapers and magazines have invaded our streets and news broadcasted on television and in the internet has also prevailed on the scene of televisions and computers. (我觉得这样的开头的确很general,但是是否有点过于的宽泛和拖沓了.其实,以前我一直强调General to Specific的开头,但是,现在我发现其实Specific to General的开头被应用得更多.所以,针对这篇文章,既然你认为是too much,就可以这样开头:When I opened the newspaper, just as I suspected, Paris Hilton appeared again in the front page. This time, according to the photo, she was in the police wagon. I could not help but to wonder-does it has any meaning to focus that much on Paris Hilton-the heroine in that notorious video, the winner of raspberry award and a black sheep in her family? The answer is negative, of course.) However, some people criticize that these media focus on the privacy of some celebrities too much. I quite agree with this viewpoint(你这样写过于平淡,你可以说:And I stand with them.). Media, such as(不要重复,你可以用say来代替) televisions, internet, newspapers and magazines, compete with each other(你这里是media compete with each other,我觉得不是太妥当,还不如把televisions, internet, newspapers and magazines作为主语,说他们compete with other) for audience, sponsors(赞助) and advertising fees, both of which are vital for them. People are curious about the famous people’s life. The famous people, such as politicians, movie stars and outstanding sports players, not only receive their fans’ inexhaustible supports and irrational(不理智的,这个词不错,但是要是frantic就更好了,它不仅有irrational的意思,还有insane的含义) loves, but also make their fans' infinite interested privacy(这个的表达我有点不解); hence their privacy is the aim for some reporters. The reporters may follow the famous persons to catch every detail, such as(你的such as用的太多了,这里可以说namely,也就是) their clothes, their pets and their relations with others, by taking pictures and videos or writing articles in exaggeration. And the media which employ the reports to search news on celebrities broadcast the news or print the news on newspapers or magazines to match people’s tastes and curiosity.(你都写了这么多,都还没有进入到too much这个东西上来唷) Matching people’s tastes is just the beginning rather than the end. Since some media are popular due to their information about the famous, the audience rating researched by public polling may be(climb) higher; hence the companies and firms are more likely to pay the money to the media for the advertisement, which may be the vital income for some free media or some media which do not gain profits from collecting money from audiences or readers. Some companies even(给钱打广告是很正常的事情.为什么用even?) employ the famous movies stars to make an advertisement about the products and then command the media to print or broadcast the advertisement, and as an exchange, they pay the advertisement fees to media; consequently, even in the advertisement time appear the famous persons. For instance, a famous perfume company invites the famous movie star Catherine Zeta Jones to advertise the perfume, and then the company commands some magazines, such as Fashion to print the picture out. In summary, because all the media are competing for financial supports by companies and firms, they have to pay much attention of the celebrities to match people’s tastes and hence boost their audience rating, which is able to appeal the companies. 总的来说,表达还是比较清楚的.但是,我觉得这个题目太难写了,我自己都没有什么把握可以写好.所以,我建议换一个题目写. |
