考试题目
Some people believe famous people's support towards international aid organizations draws the attention to problems, while others think celebrities make the problems less important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
分析:
题目属于新中等。要求是双边论证并给出自己的观点。也是和之前被疯传的冰桶挑战有点相同。一些人觉得这很好,也有些人觉得这是在作秀,就比如这几天陈光标被爆出他的冰桶挑战其实不是冰水,是温水。
这个题目有很多关键词,famous people,international aid organization, MAKE problems less important. 很容易跑题,或者举例不恰当.

With the negative influence of famous people’s bad behavior exposing to our slight more frequently, plenty of citizens begin to doubt their support towards international aid organizations. However, many people still believe that famous people are helpers rather problem makers. From my point of view, international aid organizations can attract more citizens’ attention on problems if celebrities give the right support and set up good images.
It is sensible to argue that international charity groups can take advantage of the publicity of celebrities. With the announcement of high-profile figures, such as famous singers, movie stars and sports professionals, the activities or campaigns of international organisations can be responded immediately, if they are endorsed by celebrities. In the early time of this year, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge spread around the world within a few days by the sharing of many celebrities. Meanwhile, the organisations also received millions of donation by fans as well.
Nevertheless, it is an undeniable fact that a small part of celebrities don’t gain much popularity or bring any convenience to international aid organizations. Although some celebrities give their support to these organizations outwardly, they don’t bring any tangible help. For example, some celebrities lead a luxurious life and never take practical actions to social problems, or even only take advantage of international aid organizations to advocate for themselves. As a result, the public will loose confidence to these organizations, not to mention solving problems.
To sum up, I believe international aid organizations will receive much more help from celebrities and figure out more problems if celebrities can make the right choices and their celebrity effect is used appropriately.
