Task 2
To answer this question in a relevant way you have to:
* Explain your opinion about stars earning a lot of money
* Give an opinion about people like nurses and teachers who have more useful jobs but who earn much less money,and explain your opinion

------------------------------------------------------------
(本文)

It seems that salaries often do not relate to skill,education or the value of the employee to society.In my opinion this is wrong,and I feel changes should be made to ensure that people such as pop stars do not earn such huge amounts of money. (Introductry paragraph--start your opinion)

If we take the example of a pop star such as Madonna,it is hard to see in what way she benefits socierty. In fact,her behaviour could even have a negative effect on young people and encourage them to experiment with sex and drugs, and develop a materialistic attitude. In addition,her job does not requite special skills or years of training and education.Therefore, there is no justification for her receiving so much money. Although she provides entertaiment for people, I do not think this can be considered essential. (Reasons for the opinion )

On the other hand,there are many professions which not only require high skills and years of education but also help other people and the community in general.Clearly doctors,nurses and teachers are much more useful, in fact, essential to society than entertainment and sports figures. Their salaries should reflect thier dedication, and the heavy responsiblities they face in their jobs. ( Answer the second part of the question.Give reasons)

However, even if we accept this idea, the problem of how we could make salaries fairer remains. Pop stars receive royalties from sales of their records or concert tickets. How could this money be taken away and given to more deserving people? Perhaps the only solution is through much higher taxes for people who earn excessively high salaries. ( Conclusion--offering a solution )
