题目大意

年轻人日益崇拜媒体和体育明星，尽管他们往往树立负面形象。这种追星的潮流利弊如何？

思路解析

上周六（12月12日）雅思刚刚考过一道名人对年轻人影响的问题，这礼拜又来一道同样话题类型的。看来雅思这两种非常关心年轻人追星问题啊~月半鸭要提醒下，明星相关的问法还有一种“年轻人了解明星胜过历史名人，问原因和解决办法”，同学们也可以准备下~

这是一道利弊类题型，大家要注意在论证上要体现合理性，即在具体的分析中，明确能体现出一边的论述的确是大于另一边，或是利弊均等，而利弊是否有说服力并不取决于观点的数量，而是内容是否有说服力。

月半鸭就和大家一起来梳理下，单纯就年轻人追星这件事的好处和坏处（有的观点其实和这道题不太匹配）。

先来说说坏处，主要有三方面。

一是年轻人是容易被影响的。为什么我们会担心追星对年轻人不好，根本上原因就是年轻人容易受影响，他们的价值观很容易受到喜欢的明星的言语或者行为的影响。在追星的过程中，明星可能会引导年轻人树立不正确的价值观，比如拜金、追求物质、为了自身利益主动伤害他人。

二是追星本身需要花费年轻人的金钱和时间，比如花大量时间为明星打榜、控评或者一个人花钱买几十甚至几百张专辑来为明星冲销量。而且有些明星为了自身利益还鼓励或者派人有组织让粉丝这么做，而这些事情对年轻人其实没有任何实质收益。而这些年轻人可能本身还在上学，没有自己的收入，所以他们追星花的钱其实是父母的钱，这可能会加重家庭经济负担。而他们花太多时间追星则意味着他们花在学业上的时间变少了，可能会影响升学和自己的未来。

三是年轻人过多关注明星，意味着他们关注科学、政治、社会等等领域的时间精力越少，愿意投入这些领取的年轻人也会更少。这对于整个社会和国家的发展是不利的。

但追星也有好处，主要是两方面。

一是许多年轻人会关注明星，因此明星本身已经成为了一个很好的宣传渠道。所以政府和社会可以打造明星或者通过明星去传播积极的价值观（比如三小只），而且带来的效果可能会比传统意义课堂教授会更好。

二是对于明星的不良行为甚至违法行为，政府可以进行处罚，也可以在媒体上进行批评，这样可以树立一个反面教材去告诉年轻人禁止做同样的行为，反而起到了一个正面引导的作用。

总体来说这道题目难度不高，从弊大于利或者利弊均等的角度切入会更好写。

提纲

高分范文示例

Today, there is an increasing frenzy over celebrities among younger generations regardless what their idols do. While this faddism is usually frowned upon by many educationalists, I would say any social phenomenon should be considered from both positive and negative perspective.     

Indeed, the populace tend to focus on the detrimental side of youngsters’ preoccupation with idols. It is true that adolescents are at their impressionable age that are susceptible to the influence of their public figures. Unfortunately, lots of media are prone to hunt for negative coverage of stars of various fields, whether it be drug abuse of a famous athlete, or rebellion of a rock musician. Both facts give rise to prevalent apprehension about the celebrity faddism among the youth.

While such a misgiving about idolatry does have its justification, I have to say it is simplistic to focus exclusively on its detriment to young minds while taking positive implications for granted. The apprehension mentioned above is based on a gross simplification of the connections between public figures and their impacts on young minds – those critics are oblivious to other determining factors that are relevant to the social impacts of the fad. Among other determinants, of particular importance is the role of media – oftentimes, the public response to a social outcome is subject to the lens from which media publicize it. Back to the aforementioned negative news of stars, if written from an instructive angle, the same story may be used as a deterrent to adolescents.   

From what has been discussed, it is my conclusion therefore, youth fascination for celebrities can be recognized both as negative and positive, depending on how we view this tendency.
