5 題代表題 + Band 7+ 範例
Q1. Why have online influencers become as famous as traditional celebrities?
I'd say it's because the gatekeepers have changed. Becoming a movie star used to require studios, agents, decades of work — those filters created scarcity, which created status. Influencers cut all of that out; you only need a phone and an audience. On the whole the talent bar has dropped, but the parasocial connection is genuinely stronger, which is what drives modern fame.
Q2. Do celebrities have a strong influence on young people's behaviour?
It really depends on the area. For surface things — clothes, slang, gym routines — the influence is huge and well-documented; trends move through teen networks within days. For deeper things like values or career choices, arguably the influence is weaker than parents fear, because peer groups and family still matter more. So I'd say strong on style, weaker on substance.
Q3. Should celebrities speak out on political and social issues?
Honestly, I'm torn. On one hand, anyone with a platform of millions has a kind of civic duty — staying silent is itself a choice. On the other hand, fame doesn't actually qualify someone to weigh in on, say, monetary policy, and audiences sometimes mistake celebrity confidence for expertise. So I'd say speaking out on issues they've genuinely studied — yes; freelancing on everything — probably not.
Q4. Why does the media give celebrities so much attention?
Generally speaking, it's because attention is what the media sells, and celebrity stories convert clicks at a rate few other topics match. Editors aren't really making cultural decisions; they're following audience behaviour. That said, the cycle is somewhat self-reinforcing — the more coverage celebrities get, the more we treat them as significant, which justifies further coverage. It's a feedback loop more than a conspiracy.
Q5. Are celebrities today more positive or negative role models?
It tends to depend on which slice. There are clearly thoughtful figures using their reach for genuine causes — climate, mental health, literacy. On the other hand, much of influencer culture arguably normalises wealth display, cosmetic surgery, and parasocial validation, which research tentatively links to teen anxiety. So I'd say the average effect is probably negative, but the best examples are genuinely valuable.

台灣考生常見陷阱：八卦答題
"I don't like that singer because she had a scandal." —— 八卦不是分析。Part 3 名人題要分析現象，不是評論個人。
修正：把個別人物的緋聞換成現象的分析：
Before: That actor had a bad scandal, so he is not a good role model.
After: Modern celebrity scandals reveal something about the platform itself — careers can collapse within hours because there's no buffer between a poor judgement and a global audience. On the other hand, that same speed can rebuild reputations just as quickly, which is why the system feels both harsher and shallower than the older one.
