Frequently asked questions
Start with an opinion phrase such as creo que, pienso que, en mi opinión or para mí, then give your view: 'Creo que los famosos ganan demasiado dinero.' Add a reason with porque and a connective like sin embargo or aunque.
Use ser: 'es famoso/famosa', because fame is treated as a lasting quality. Use estar for temporary states, such as 'está de moda' (is fashionable right now).
A role model is 'un modelo a seguir'. For example: 'Muchos deportistas son buenos modelos a seguir para los jóvenes' (many athletes are good role models for young people).
