Privacy of Famous People

Directions： you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay no less than 120 words on the following topic.　ewspapers and magazines have special interest in the private lives of famous people.　　What can you explain it？What  effect it will have on the people being exposed？And what is your opinion of it？

　　In recent years， many newspapers and magazines focus on the activities of film stars， pop singers and some other famous men and women. Reporters disguise their identities， infiltrate the subject's business and family， or even bug and wiretap them——to get the news by whatever means are necessary.

　It is not difficult to explain the reason for their surprising amount of interest in famous people's lives. They are in the spotlight， renowned or notorious， they are the topic of ordinary people who like to know everything about them. To satisfy their curiosity， or “the people's right to know”， journalists often find it their duty to report their activities.

　　Moreover， what matters to a newspaper or a magazine is the number of readers. A large readership means the rise in the circulation of their         publications， hence a huge profit. Since film stars and pop singers are       newsworthy figures， and their stories draws far more attention than those of  other people， it is natural that the press tries to attract them to buy their   magazines by featuring private lives of famous people.

　　However， those exposed people can be severely injured by such press   attention. Sensational stories about their private lives cause great unhappiness  to them. To escape reporters， they can't even lead a normal life. Sometimes  their lives will be in danger. For example， Princess Diana died in a car     accident as she attempted to escape photographers in a chase through Paris.
