Being a celebrity

Nowadays people are interested on the life of celebrities more than any other time, people want to know everything about celebrities- such as movie stars or famous sports celebrities.

It is widely believed that famous people have a wonderful life with no worries or problems. But is being famous so easy? The greatest advantage of being famous is that celebrities are usually very rich so they have easier lives than other people. They live in beautiful houses maintained by housekeepers, gardeners, cooks and other servants. They do not have to worry about paying bills, can afford the best clothes and drive the latest models of fast cars. What is more, they spend their holidays in expensive resorts, get the best hotel rooms and the most efficient service. Moreover, when you are famous, your name is known by everyone. Then, you are invited to the best parties and meet other celebrities. Your fans send you letters to tell you how much they admire you. Most people dream about being famous. They want to be admired and loved by fans. The media show rich and fashionable stars and it is believed that their lives are full of happiness and pleasure. Celebrities have everything that they want. Therefore they do not have to worry about the future. If they want to meet another ‘star', it is not so hard. Around-the-world trip? It is not a problem, either. What is more, there are a lot of ‘stars' who use their glory to help people. Your reach to influence people is wider. You get freebies just for being famous, such as sponsors going to you, or people that are fans of yours. In relation to influence, your words may weigh heavier than any other person less famous. Thus, you get the advantage of saying your views about the world. And suggesting your own changes. Altough it seems to be true, there are also some major drawbacks. The more they get and succeed the more they are expected by their fans to achieve. This is an immense stress for them. The state of constant stress pushes many of them in alcoholism, drug-addiction and depression. To conclude I think that everybody likes to be in the public eye. It's nice when you can be an authority...

Learning foreign languages

                                          

 Learning a foreign language isn’t an easy thing. Nowadays it’s especially important to know foreign languages. Some people learn languages because they need them for their work, others travel abroad, for the third studying foreign languages is a hobby. Everyone, who knows foreign languages can speak to people from other countries, read foreign authors in the original, which makes your outlook wider. I study English. It’s a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and efforts. Over 300 million people speak it is a mother tongue. The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, the United States of America,Canada, Australia and New Zeland.

    “Do you speak English?” – with this phrase begins the conversation between two people, that speak different languages and want to find a common language.

    It’s very good when you hear: “Yes, I do”, and start talking. People from different countries and nations have to get along well with the progress in the world trade and technology as well as with each other.

    So it is very useful to learn foreign languages. Knowledge of foreign languages helps us to develop friendship and understanding among people.

    English is very popular now. It’s the language of computers, science, business, sport and politics. English language is a wonderful language. It’s the language of the great literature. It’s the language of William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and others. Half of the world’s scientific literature is in English. It’s the language of computer technology. Nearly half of all business deals in Europe are conducted in English. The largest broadcasting companies in the world (CBS, NBS, ABC, BBC) transmit in English to audiences that regularly exceed one hundred million. The great German poet Goette once said, “He, who knows no foreign language, doesn’t know his own one”. That’s why in order to understand oneself and environment one has to learn foreign languages.

    Speaking a foreign language you can read papers, magazines and original books by great writers, watch satellite TV programs. If you like traveling you can go anywhere without being afraid that other people will not understand you.

    I think that to know English today is absolutely necessary for every educated man, for every good specialist.

    So, English has no equals! Dispute it if you can!​
