Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.
------正文------
There is much debate over the issue that whether scandals could be useful. Different people may have different opinions based on their distinct experience of lives. As far as I am concerned due to my own observation of life, I partly agree with what the speaker says that scandals are often useful to our society because they emerge some hidden facts which could not be found otherwise. However, scandals should not be the mainstream of the society. People should emphasize more on the celebrity's contribution to the society rather their scandals and private lives.

First of all, there are many kinds of scandals in contemporary life. In the sphere of politics, world famous Watergate Scandal is one of the biggest scandals in the history of American politics. Also, there are sexual scandals like Lewinsky Scandal and so forth. In the field of sports, especially the Olympic Games, there are also many scandals. Lots of athletes use abandoned drugs in order to get a better result. This behavior greatly impairs the spirits of sports. In the realm of academia and other areas, there are also many scandals which reveal some social problems in current life.

Secondly, everything has two aspects. The Scandal which reveals the badness of the humanity is in fact a two-edged sword. It could focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could. For example, if the Watergate event has not been exposed to the world, nobody could ever know the corruption and immorality of American politics. Often, an attempt to cover up a scandal ignites a greater scandal when the cover-up fails. The disavowal of the deed by Nixon reveals a further immorality of him. And the event itself provides the people all over the world to turn over many things. The function of scandals is to beat alarm clock for us and prevent the posterities from making similar mistakes.

However, we should not pay more of our attention to the scandals of these celebrities in politics, academia, or other areas. Because if we emphasize more on their scandals and private lives, they would disperse their attention and be attracted beyond the work in which they could contribute to the society. For example, Lewinsky Scandal nearly make Clinton impeached from the president and if so maybe American economic would not have made such a progress during that four years. The ability of Clinton in managing the economic was well demonstrated and his contribution to American could not be effaced by the scandal. Thus, we should give our leaders or those greater men in sphere of academia, sports, or other areas more freedom in order to let them make more contribution to the society.

To sum up, due to analysis and reasons above, which sometimes intertwine to form a organic whole and thus become more persuasive than any one of them, we may comfortably arrive at the conclusion that scandals are two-edged swords, because on the one hand it could reveal some social problems which would be otherwise overlooked, through which we could better regulate our behaviors and make a better world; on the other hand, if we pay more attention on the scandals or private lives of the celebrities, maybe they would not have done such contribution to the society.

There is much debate over the issue that（去掉that？） whether scandals could be useful. Different people may have different opinions based on their distinct experience of lives. As far as I am concerned (,) due to my own observation of life, I partly (partially?) agree with what the speaker says (asserts 或the speaker’s proposition) that scandals are often useful to our society because they emerge (reveal) some hidden facts which could not be found otherwise. However, scandals should not be the mainstream of the society. People should emphasize more on the celebrity's contribution to the society rather their scandals and (their) private lives.

First of all, there are many kinds of scandals in contemporary life. In the sphere of politics, world famous Watergate Scandal is one of the biggest (most notorious) scandals in the history of American politics. Also, there are sexual scandals like Lewinsky Scandal and so forth. In the field of sports, especially the Olympic Games, there are also many scandals. Lots of athletes use abandoned drugs (exhilarant) in order to get a better result. This behavior greatly impairs the spirits of sports. In the realm of academia and other areas, there are also many scandals which reveal some social problems in current life.（分类的目的是什么？能为主题服务吗）

Secondly, everything has two aspects. The Scandal which reveals the badness of the humanity is in fact a two-edged sword. It could focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.

And the event itself provides the people all over the world to turn over many things.

However, we should not pay more of our attention to the scandals of these celebrities in politics, academia, or other areas. Because if we emphasize more on their scandals and private lives, they would disperse their attention and be attracted beyond the work in which they could contribute to the society. For example, Lewinsky Scandal nearly make Clinton impeached from the president and if so maybe American economic would not have made such a progress during that four years.

To sum up, due to analysis and reasons above, which sometimes intertwine to form a organic whole and thus become more persuasive than any one of them, we may comfortably arrive at the conclusion that scandals are two-edged swords, because on the one hand it could reveal some social problems which would be otherwise overlooked, through which we could better regulate our behaviors and make a better world; on the other hand, if we pay more attention on the scandals or private lives of the celebrities, maybe they would not have done such contribution to the society.
