they should live on their own

more likely to make female viewers cry on the other hand
i'm sure there are exceptions to this

or even from other countries
and keep in touch with them on social media a good example
is Facebook which helps its users
make friends and share photos and videos with people
who they've never met in person
in your
opinion what is success
personally i think success can be anything
that a person achieves through effort
it can be something very simple
like cooking a nice meal for our family
or friends on the other hand
it can also be something that takes a long time to achieve
such as achieving our career goals
do you think that successful people are always happy people
it's true that many successful people have fame and wealth but
i don't think they are always happy people
because many of them have stressful lifestyles for example
some successful business people work 70 to 80 hours a week
and suffer from stress
and anxiety another problem that many successful people have
is they find it hard to keep a work family balance
many of them need to travel on business regularly

why many people want to become famous
is that it is usually quite easy for celebrities to earn money
for example
celebrities can make a lot of money by endorsing products
how can famous athletes be good role models for children
i suppose they need to behave in the right way
because many children admire them
and like to copy what they do for instance
they should show respect to other athletes
and avoid using bad language
famous athletes who earn a lot of money
should also contribute to charity
and they should have healthy lifestyles
and encourage children to develop healthy lifestyles as well
do you think that sports stars earn too much money
i think it's fair that they earn a lot of money their very high
incomes are the result of their popularity among sports fans
for example in my country
the sports industry is huge
and there are millions of sports fans
who are willing to pay to see their favorite
sports stars play in person
i think sports stars are paid too much money
they earn much more than people
who provide vital services to others for example
doctors and nurses contribute more to society
but earn much less than sports stars
