Nowadays celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achievements, and this sets a bad example to young people.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

现在的名人更多的是因为他们的魅力和财富而不是因为他们的成就而出名，这给年轻人树立了一个不好的榜样。你在多大程度上同意或不同意这种说法？

It is true that most of the celebrities are known for their luxurious lifestyles than for their performance or talents these days. Many people think that this kind of attitude is not a good example for the young generation. To a certain extent, I would agree that this kind of behaviour would be a bad example for the society, but there are other famous people are popular due to their outstanding accomplishment.

On the one hand, it is a fact that many famous people become popular due to their fancy lifestyle, instead of their outstanding achievement these days. Their acting talent might be standard or below the average, but they are making sensation to the public by showing their wealth and glamorous lifestyles. One of the examples would be Kim Kardashian who is famous for her reality television program, whereas it mostly shows her luxurious mansion, party and shopaholic lifestyles and less of her acting. It is believed that the behaviour would be a negative influence for the young people as it teaches them about hedonistic lifestyle.

On the other hand, there are celebrities who are popular for their incredible acts or outstanding performance. These people have shown to the world that they have reached success due to strong determination and hard work, and the public always recognise them for their masterpiece of arts and great achievements. One of the examples would be the legendary English footballer David Beckham. He was not only a good athlete but also became the model of some sports apparels. Although David Beckham sometimes had shown his glamorous lifestyle, but he had also shown to the public that he was a good football player. He had informed in his biography that to achieved success, he had to work hard in his young age, as he had to practice in doing penalty kick for around 1000 kick per day consistently. These kinds of celebrities are worth to be followed by the young generation.

In conclusion, many famous people are well known for their wealth and luxurious style, instead of their achievement and it would be a negative example for the young age people. To a certain point, I would disagree with the opinion, since there are other celebrities who are famous due to their great talent and performance. In my opinion, I think the public should be more selective in choosing their role models, not just in front of the camera, but we should also see from their personal life as well.

的确，现在的明星大多以奢华的生活方式著称，而不是以业绩或才华著称。很多人認為這種態度對年輕人來說不是一個好榜樣。在一定程度上，我同意这种行为是社会的坏榜样，但也有一些名人因为其杰出的成就而受到欢迎。

一方面，事實上，現時很多名人的走紅是因為他們的生活方式很花哨，而不是因為他們的成就。他们的演技可能是标准的或低于平均水平，但他们通过展示他们的财富和迷人的生活方式，使公众感到轰动。金-卡戴珊就是其中一个例子，她以真人秀节目出名，但节目中多是展示她的豪宅、派对和购物狂的生活方式，较少展示她的演技。相信这种行为会对年轻人产生负面影响，因为它教会了他们享乐主义的生活方式。

另一方面，也有一些名人因其不可思议的行为或出色的表现而受到欢迎。这些人向世人展示了他们凭借坚定的决心和辛勤的工作获得了成功，他们的艺术杰作和伟大的成就一直为公众所认可。英国传奇足球运动员贝克汉姆就是其中一个例子。他不仅是一名优秀的运动员，还成为一些运动服装的模特儿。虽然大卫-贝克汉姆有时已经显示了他的迷人的生活方式，但他也向公众表明，他是一个好的足球运动员。他曾在他的传记中告知，要想获得成功，他必须在年轻时努力工作，因为他必须每天坚持练习做1000脚左右的点球。这类名人是值得年轻一代效仿的。

总而言之，很多名人都是以财富和奢华的风格著称，而不是以成就著称，这对年轻一代来说是一个负面的榜样。在某种程度上，我不同意这种观点，因为还有其他名人因为他们的才华和表现而成名。在我看来，我认为公众在选择榜样时应该更有选择性，不仅仅是在镜头前，我们也应该从他们的个人生活中看到。
