I think almost everyone has ever wished to be a famous and outstanding person and to be well-known to people all over the world. Just imagining the photo of ourselves on TV-news and in newspaper or magazines makes us excited and happy. But in my point of view, the amount of advantages of being famous is equal to the amount of its disadvantages.
The big plus of the great position in society is much money. You are able to live in a cottage with the swimming pool, arrange a lot of parties for your friends, buy your favourite clothes and visit expensive restaurants for dinner orsupper. If you are a famous celebrity, you have a big fanbase, and you can receive the presents and letters from these fans. You also have a word power, that is your speech about some social problems are heard by everyone. You can make the world better.
On the other hand, in reality famous people are followed by paparazzi everywhere. Because of that you can become lonely as your family and friends would avoid you or you could not trust them. It is very hard to be treated like that. in
conclusion I want to say that even though I really want to be a successful and very famous person, I also wish to be myself. I like my present life, and it doesn't matter how many people know me, more important thing is that my friends and relatives know who I am and love me. And I love them.
A) What's that book you're reading?
B) It's a new story by Ivan Romanenko.
A) Is it any good?
B) Of corse it is. I enjoy all the books by this author. And why do you sound so sceptical? Don't you read Romanenko?
A) No, I don't. I prefer Mary Poppins.
B) I think these two authors have a lot in common. They both write crime stories.
A) That's not as I see it. I think Poppins and Romanenko are very difficult to compare. Poppins mostly writes about the past and describes things in rather dark colours, but I still like him.
