Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The opinions of celebrities, such as famous entertainers and athletes, are more important to younger people than they are to older people.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Recently, there has been a ton of debate on whether opinions of celebrities are more important to younger people than the older people. Personally, I am of the opinion that opinions of celebrities have more impact on younger people. I think of this way because of two reasons, which I will explore in this essay.

First of all, children are more likely to be influenced by perspectives of celebrities. Obviously, since younger people have spent most of their life at school, they do not have enough experience in real word and lack the ability of critical thinking. Therefore, they have the tendency to follow the fashion, which is usually defined by famous people, while older people who have been practiced in the society for a long time, usually make decisions based on their own thoughts. This is best demonstrated by a study conducted by Peking university which is a top ranked institution in China. The result shows that more than half of younger people in the city believes that they must follow and support their idols without judgement. As we can see, how easily children can be impacted by opinions they received.

Secondly, young people have more chance to access to the quotations of the celebrities and get affected by them. Evidently, with the development of modern technology younger adults get the information from the internet , where opinions of celebrities are usually transmitted, far more than the older generation. For example, results from the study mentioned previously show that more than 50% of the news on the internet is about celebrities, and the readers of those new are mostly younger children at ages between ten to thirty. This clearly demonstrated that how limited available information for younger people are.

In conclusion, I am fully convinced that younger people are prone to be influenced by opinions of celebrities. This is because children do not have enough experience to prevent being affected by others and because they are concerns more in about celebrities.

---------------------
We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
