Many magazines have pictures of famous people on holiday or with their families.
Is it acceptable for famous people to have less privacy than other people?

Many think that the personal lives of well-known people might be violated by an intrusive media. Although the stated viewpoint is widespread, there are perhaps stronger reasons to argue against this opinion as will now be presented.

Primarily, having privacy is a basic psychological need of any human being. Although people are social creatures, some psychologists have proved that a certain degree of privacy is needed to maintain mental and physical health. In fact, research which was conducted on such social animals as rats and chimps has decisively showcased that constant exposure to the observer has an adverse effect on the overall health condition of the objects.

In addition, prominent individuals are also citizens; thus, they have a right to have personal life as much as anyone else, and the law protects this right. In other words, the law does not make a distinction between celebrities and people who are not considered famous. Consequently, violation of the law is punishable and reproachable.

Finally, some might state that a lack of privacy is a price to be paid for being famous, and that when a person becomes popular, their personal lives automatically become interesting to the public and as a result this interest ought to be satisfied. Although there is a certain merit to this argument, the subject’s lack of control regarding what is revealed publicly is what negates this opinion.

To sum up, famous people should not be deprived of their personal life because violation of privacy may have negative health consequences. Moreover, there are legal issues at stake, as the law has a clear protocol for all citizens, regardless of their social position.

flaws:
for IELTS task II, it is a little bit different to TOEFL essays. in TOEFL essays, we always support one side, but for IELTS, we still support one side, but argue in both sides.

like this in 4 paragraphs:

paragraph 1: introduction. Your ideas/opinions here.

paragraph 2: Admittedly, there are some advantages of side A. First, ... Second, ...

paragraph 3: However, still I support side B. First, ... Second, ...

paragraph 4: conclusion.

---------------------
or in 5 paragraphs:

paragraph 1: introduction. Your ideas/opinions here.

paragraph 2: Admittedly, there are some advantages of side A. First, ... Second, ...

paragraph 3: However, still I support side B. reason 1 + why reason 1 + example for reason 1 + a small conclusion for reason 1.

paragraph 4: In addition, reason 2 + why reason 2 + example for reason 2+ a small conclusion for reason 2.

paragraph 5: conclusion.

Hello Dear Reader,
I am writing to you because I have a couple of questions:

- you have given my two structures for IELTS (task 2) essays but I would like to know more about requirements and unspoken rules that ought to be adhere to in order to get a high score in both tasks.

-you gave me some links to well-scored essays but they are old and have some conspicuous mistakes, for instance, they are too long(370-340 words).Could you provide me with links to novel essays that fulfill all requirements?

Thank you.

Eugene.

For Q1: there are no hidden rules for IELTS essays. Just we realized that this essay style is like an TOEFL essay. So we remind you the styles for IELTS essays. Here go some differences for TOEFL and IELTS essays:

1. TOEFL essays are designed for high school students who are ready to go colleges. So the topics are relatively easy to answer and straight forward. While IELTS essays are initially used for colleges and immigrations both. So the topics are relatively related to more areas in our lives and with more questions.

2. In TOEFL essays, we may contain a lot of personal examples or experiences while IELTS essays want more general examples which can apply to all situations. and the examples should be short, maybe only one sentence.

3. Better to have 5 paragraphs for TOEFL essays while mostly 4 paragraphs are suggested for IELTS essays.

4. We can stick to one side all the time in TOEFL essays, while we need to argue both side for IELTS essays.

5. We can develop as much content as we can in TOEFL essays because there is an e-rater by ETS, while in IELTS essays maybe 300 words are good enough since IELTS essays are graded by human graders. They don't like an essay too long with 500+ words.

--------------------
For Q2:
For practice purpose, it is highly recommended to develop around 350 words in testbig site, since a lot of users reported that they can't actually develop that much in actual exam because they are tired and stressed.

second, for those who want to get higher marks 8.0 or more, it is very important to develop more content than normal users who just want 6 or 7. Every body knows that it is harder to have more content in a limited time. So why a user only gave 250 words but wanted 8.0?

Read a real story by a testbig user who got 8.0 with more content:
http://www.testbig.com/ielts-essays/some-people-prefer-spend-their-live…

The above users mostly got 8.0 out of 9, for sure they are the right samples to read with.

--------------------
We have read your IELTS essays submitted, your main issue is 'read topic carefully'. You don't have language issues, just need to write essays according to the topics and follow IELTS styles. You should get 7.5 or over if the essays are developed properly.
