 Some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. Do you think these people deserve such high salaries? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Nowadays, there is a strange phenomenon that some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. For me, i totally oppose to give them so much money as salary per year, which it will be unequal to other occupations.
* nowadays = 요즘에는 / strange phenomenon = 이상한 현상 / athlete = 운동선수 / entertainer = 연예인, 엔터테이너 / earn = 벌다 / oppose to = ~에 반대하다 / unequal = 불평등한, 불공평한 / occupation = 직업

Firstly, there are so many occupations around the world, such as artist, teacher, accountant, worker viewed as one of occupations, entertainer or athletes are not much different from the rest of occupations. Both of them are just two kinds of occupations, why do we give them so much priority or let them earn big amount so easily? For instance, an entertainer will receive about hundreds thousand per show, or a soccer player will be paid much more money than entertainers. Although we admit that we can have a nice show to enjoy or a wonderful match to match, there is no need to give them such big amount. This is what they should do as a entertainer or an athlete. This is their jobs. All occupations should have equal standard.
* accountant = 회계사 / priority = 우선사항, 우선순위 / admit = 인정하다 / standard = 수준, 기준

Secondly, unequalization is also not good to the young generation. If most young people know that they can earn more money as a athlete or an entertainer, definitely they will go after. As a result, they do not want to do anything other than to be a athlete or an entertainer. What's more, this phenomena has an important impact on young people about their views towards money. They will think as an entertainer he is so easy to get money as much as possible, which is not good for his development in future. They will become money-goers.
* unequalize = 같지 않게 하다, 부등하게 하다 / young generation = 젊은 세대, 청년들 / definitely = 분명히, 틀림없이, 절대 / phenomena = 현상들 (phenomenon의 복수형태) / impact = 영향 / development  = 발전

Last but not least, athletes and entertainers sometimes show bad examples to their fans. It is known that fans follow whatever their idols do, even some bad habits. Recently there is a piece of news reported that one famous singer found to be carrying prohibited drugs in a KTV. Can you imagine what kind of side effect we will face after this issue? Previously, idols are always perfect in most fans' minds, but now they did such things, sometimes even more worse. As a public person, they need to be careful about what they do.
* Last but not least = 마지막으로 그러나 역시 주요한 것이지만 / fan = 팬, 광 / idol = 많은 사랑을 받는 대상인 우상 / a piece of news = 한 건의 뉴스, 일련의 뉴스 / prohibit = 금지하다 / drug = 약물, 마약 / side effect = 부작용 / peviously = 이전에 / pulic person = 공인
