The two faces of fame. We could understand fame as a sickly status which most of the people would like to undergo. Nevertheless, do people know the two faces of fame? Would people like to lead a hectic and stressful life because of fame? On the one hand, being famous can allow you to fulfill your dreams, travel around the world, live where you want and shop until you drop. Even, fame can make you become so rich that you can help financially your family and close friends. Moreover, thousands of people will run after you everywhere you go, they will love you and will make you feel so special. On the other hand, if you’re famous you will need to waste a lot of money in assistants and bodyguards in order to have a more personal life. Paparazzi are willing to chase you to get photos and gossips for their hot news. Furthermore, you will also have your own club of “haters” which will always despise you for everything you do. Despite this, there is also a lot of competition and jealousy for reaching the top, that’s what make some famous to talk about others in a bad way. Personally, I strongly believe that the dark side of fame is stressful and hateful. I wouldn’t like to be famous if I had no privacy, even though, being recognized for what you do is awesome. I would like you to correct all my mistakes, thank you.

Jose,

Your English is very good! You are really clear in your intent, but sometimes you say things in a way that makes it obvious you are not a native speaker. Just as a general style note, you use connecting words and phrases such as "Nevertheless," "On the other hand," etc. way more than most people do in written English, which also makes your writing seem a little juvinile. If you were to use these phrases more sparingly your writing would read as more contemporary. My comments are in blue, corrections are in red. I hope this helps!

The two faces of fame.

We could understand fame as a sickly status which most of the people would like to undergo.

This is an awkward sentance. Perhaps a more natural way to say that might be, "We all understand fame as a sickly status thich most people would like to have." Nevertheless, do people know the two faces of fame? Would people like to lead a hectic and stressful life because of fame?

On the one hand, being famous can allow you to fulfill your dreams, travel around the world, live where you want, and shop until you drop. Even, "Even" is not the right word here, perhaps you meant, Also, fame can make you become so rich that you can help financially Though not wrong here, most people would put "financially" at the end of the sentance your family and close friends. Moreover, thousands of people will run after you everywhere you go; they will love you and will make you feel so special. 


On the other hand, if you’re famous you will need to waste a lot of money in assistants and bodyguards in order to have a more personal  life a more common expression in America is "private life". Paparazzi are willing to chase you to get photos and gossips "gossip" is used as both singular and plural for their hot news. Furthermore, you will also have your own club of “haters” which will always despise you for everything you do. Despite this, there is also a lot of competition and jealousy for reaching the top, that’s what makes some famous people famous is not used as a noun in these contexts to talk about others in a bad way.

Personally, I strongly believe that the dark side of fame is stressful and hateful. I wouldn’t like to be famous if I had no privacy, even though, being recognized for what you do is awesome.

I would like you to correct all my mistakes, thank you.
