新东方在线雅思为同学们整理了雅思大作文范文之明星树立不好榜样还依然追星的年轻人，供考生参考学习。

雅思大作文题目：

Nowadays, young people are admiring media and sports stars, even though they do not set a good example. Do you think this is a positive or negative development? 

【话题分类】：社会生活类

【题目解析】：

题目大意：当今年轻人着迷于追星，尽管他们没有树立一个很好的榜样。你认为这是一个正面还是负面的发展？

题型特点：需明确表明对观点的态度并提出切题的原因。

本文论文推进：开头段引入当今社会年轻人追逐名人的现象。让步段先承认媒体名人和体育明星对于年轻人有一定的引领作用，而后立论段强调盲目追星容易让年轻人产生错误的价值观念。结尾段重申观点。

【难点】

这道题目中不可忽略‘even though’这个关键词，文章讨论名人效应时需要涵盖他们树立不好榜样情况的例子，所以讨论负面影响也可以从这里入手。

【写作思路】：

开头段：媒体的繁荣发展让网红和体育明星无处不在，这也给他们带来了狂热的迷恋者，尤其是青少年。我个人认为当崇拜变得盲目，会给年轻人带来负面影响。

主体第一段：崇拜名人能给年轻人提供一定程度的精神慰藉，而且优秀的明星能成为年轻粉丝的榜样，激励年轻粉丝追逐自己的梦想。

主体第二段：但是，过度崇拜可能会给年轻人带来负面影响。一方面，不成熟且容易冲动的年轻粉丝很容易过度关注名人的私生活，这对他们价值观的形成不利。另一方面，由于缺乏恰当判断是非能力的年轻人，经常会模仿娱乐明星和突出运动员的所作所为，比如破坏公共秩序还是对烟酒上瘾。长期来说，盲目学名人做派，而不去独立和批判地思考，会导致不良的社会风气。

结尾段：总而言之，明星给年轻粉丝带来的负面影响不能忽略。

【参考范文】

The prosperity of the media has brought the omnipresence of media celebrities and sports stars, which also earns them a cult following, particularly young people. From my perspective, I tend to believe it does harm to adolescents when the worship is blind, especially when celebrities can hardly set a good example. 

Admittedly, star worship can provide a certain extent of spiritual comfort for the young generation, since the majority of them consider following idols as a way of alleviating stress from daily busy routines. In addition, emulating celebrities, especially those media stars and sports stars who have outstanding qualities, including diligence and persistence, can also motivate younger fans to spare no efforts in pursuing their own dreams. It is this kind of spiritual belief that inspires and encourages the ordinary fans to reach the peaks of their fields, benchmarking themselves against the shining models.

However, over-adoration sometimes may exert negative influences on the youth considering its overwhelming impacts. For one thing, immature and impulsive young fans are extremely likely to excessively focus on the private life of celebrities. Instead of being influenced by the shining points of their career, young fans are more easily obsessed with the unattainable lifestyle of considerable luxury, which is detrimental to the formation of sound values during their formative years. For another, undesirable impacts may even be aggravated when idols are involved in negative scandals or show poor performance in the public, given that young people, without proper judgement of right and wrong, may imitate what some entertainment stars or top athletes do, irrespective of violation to the social order or addiction to alcohol and drugs. In the long run, blindly following suit as celebrities, without critical and independent thinking, will lead to adverse social conduct.

In conclusion, in my opinion, the misleading effects on young followers cannot be ignored when we consider some misbehaviors of celebrities. Adequate guidance should be guaranteed for the young audience to ensure they can truly distinguish the good traits which deserve to be emulated.
