Film stars and music celebrities may earn a great deal of money and live in luxurious surroundings, but many of them lead unhappy lives. Do you agree?
To what extent is this the price they pay for being famous?

Task-1

There are several similarities between what younger and older people say makes them most happy. However, there are several striking differences.
Firstly, let us look at the similarities. It is noticeable that for both younger and older people, the highest percentage says that achievement at work brings them most happiness: 31% for the younger age group and 32% for the older group. Doing hobbies is also very important for both groups: the second largest percentage of both age groups mention doing hobbies as making them most happy.
Turning now to the differences, many younger people regard having a good appearance as extremely important: 18% of them state this brings them most happiness. This is followed by 15% who state that travel brings them happiness. Neither of these two factors is mentioned by older people. Instead, 20% of older people report that having financial security is most important to their happiness and 14% say they feel most happy when they are with their family.

Task-2

Nowadays, everyone would like to be a renown, most of youngest people are searching for famous and fast to richness. The most famous people are enjoying a very expensive lifestyle. Despite that, they are facing many of unpleasant events as they are always unsafe. I do agree that everything in the world has a price as well as the celebrities, they pay from their expenses for that kind of life.
Film stars and music celebrities are generally richer than most regular individuals, they earn a very food income from acting or singing a music even after sign a new contract. In fact, most celebrities afford extravagant houses, fancy sport cars and gorgeous clothes. Moreover, when people being a famous more opportunities arise on their life, for example, Ahmed Helmy is an actor and after a significant effort in his career, he has appointed as a nation ambassador by United Nations children’s fund (UNICEF).
On the other hand, there are also a lot of drawbacks from being famous. Film and music celebrities usually vulnerable to addicted drags or alcohol or being poor after their career has ended and they spent most of their money by travelling around the world and buy unnecessary stuff. Although, they have no privacy with a high-risk lifestyle, they always chased by paparazzi wherever they go. Instance, sometimes it is difficult to them to make a simple trip to a grocery store without their security guard.
In conclusion, there are money advantages and disadvantages of the fame, but in my opinion, you do not have to be famous to make a huge personal achievement or financial success.
