※ 引述《jennyQ (心如止水)》之铭言:
: 3. 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.
: I agree that media pay too much attention on celebrities's privacy.
^the to x ^^^^^^^
*
(add "the" in front of "media" everywhere)
*What they're paying attention to is not "the issue of privacy",
but rather, their "private life".
: Famous people are not only public properties but private indivisuals.
xxxx
* d
*I don't think we can or should regard them as properties.
: They have basic human rights just as you and me. They pay for fame. Media
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*
*"They pay for fame" could also mean that they pay money to become famous.
Perhaps a better way to say it is "They pay the price of fame."
: chase them for uncovering their private behavior, character, and integrity.
: Their everything seems have to come under scrutiny. Fans may regard their
: idols as role models. However, some coverage is misleading, confusing right
: and wrong, and producing profound negative impacts on the growth of younger
: generations.
: The responsibility of media is to tell the truth of more important things,
: not to grab attention by using sensational and fake stories. Reporting
: privacy may be equal to personal assult, which is harmful to the people
^^^^^^^ assault
: concerned and their family. Some irresponsible reprots may also ruin the
: career and even life of a famous personage. It's vicious to spread one's
: privacy, especially those slander.
^^^^^^^
*Again, "privacy" is the concept or quality of being private.
It's meaning and usage is closer to that of "privateness".
What the media reports on is people's private lives, affairs, deeds, etc.
: Citizens have the right to know the truth about and supervise celebrities,
: and media have the right to tell. However, no one has the right to violate
^^^^^
responsibility?
: and derogate others' privacy. Though this kind of reports will urge famous
^^^^^^^
*This is correct!
: people refrain from some indecent behavior, focusing on their private things
^to
: such as love affairs and shopping lists is useless to society. Paying
: attention on those p's and q's is boring. Reporting more about profesional
to
: aspects of celebrities is far more important than their private life.
No major problems here except for the use of the word "privacy".
Clear arguments, lots of detail, good job!
