Today there are many popular TV talent shows all over China.
These talent shows give everyone a chance to show his or her talents. For some lucky people, their talent shows may make them become famous. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate(模仿) the people they admire. They lose their own styles. Second, some young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being stars. So they spend less time on their studies.
In my opinion, these show are social(社会) activities. Young people can take part in these activities to get some social experience. But they should know that the chance to become famous is small for most people. So they should work hard on something that is more important to them. It is their studies.
