• Step 1: Scan the article quickly
  How does the author feel about a celebrity's right to privacy?
• Step 2:   read the article 
• Step 3:  answer ex 5

Answers ex 5 

4   It was the right decision not to tweet about the YouTuber.

5  A celebrity's private life is his or her business and no one else's.

1   Many celebrities are not keen to have a fan take a selfie with them.

3  We think too much about the lives of celebrities.

1   A celebrity's fame relies on followers commenting about them on social media.

3  If you are going to tweet about a celebrity, tweet something positive.

2  The author feels it would be uncomfortable to be the focus of attention on social media.

1   People wrongly think of celebrities as friends because they recognise them.

Train to think - Syllogisms

1 The first proposition doesn't claim that all famous people love attention or that those who do, love being tweeted about.

2 The first proposition doesn't claim that all celebrities enjoy being the centre of attention

What do the underlined words mean within their context?

Even with determination and talent, not everyone can achieve the level of fame they desire in the competitive world of entertainment.

Years of hard work and dedication could catapult a talented individual into the realm of celebrity status.

With the right opportunity and timing, anyone may find themselves thrust into the spotlight of fame. Despite their efforts, aspiring actors might struggle to break through the barriers of obscurity in their pursuit of fame.

Some individuals possess an innate charisma and talent that will inevitably lead them to become household names in the realm of celebrity.

For many, the harsh realities of the industry mean that despite their dreams, they won't achieve the level of fame they had hoped for.
