Right Maria, you have certainly come back with a great volume of infomation here!
Ok, let me try to help out..
The first paragraph is now looking more like an introduction?, you've brought up a good discussion point. That the media influences the way people dress, look think etc.
Now with the following paragraphs you've stated a lot of facts, the grammar isn't perfect but you seem to be communicating very well! Ok keeping all that in mind here are a few things:
First off, your body and conclusion don’t actually follow any argument; it seems to be a random list of factual 'bytes' strung together rather loosely. For example take the following clips from your essay
**** "I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look is important, Britney Spears once said. Look makes everyone in the audience pay attention to me and makes me earn more money.
It really impresses me. She looks young and beautiful.
She is as beautiful as the way she sings. Britney Spears is a great role model.
Her dad said Britney Spears wanted the dancing, singing, and the style of her videos to come alive so she hiked up the skirt in the video to show a little more skin ****
All those points follow one line of thought:
**** Britney's beauty and her attitude towards that ****.
Try to keep the points together and discuss one at a time. Make it very clear what you are trying to say. Do you see what I mean?

. Ok let me give you another example.
**** Britney Spears is a great role model. In an interview with the New York Times, Britney talked about the way her mother has always tried to guide her through her life and career. She says, “Always be true to yourself, do what you want to do. Don't take any bull from anyone, and show them what you've got."
She's doing a good job. I love her from the bottom of my heart. ****
Ok here the idea is Britney’s effort to give young people a positive role model.
Ok so Maria basically (And I know I'm asking a lot, but It will really help) You should go through the essay and bring out The main points you want to make. Think hard about what you are trying to say. Very important!!!!! get your mind clear about what you want to say.
Then say one thing at a time. In the body list facts AND help the reader understand what you are thinking. Writing is about communicating your thoughts!
Then the introduction is easy just tell the reader what you are going to explain in the body.
Example: I have liked Britney Spears since I was 18 years old. I love listening to her albums. I like her because she's a talented singer, her music entertains me a lot, and she looks beautiful. When people watch TV they often look for role models in their favourite teen idols and pop stars, I think Britney spears is giving people a positive role model and more than that I believe she is beautiful.
You see it's easy because the idea is clearer!
As a conclusion, simply finish off explaining the main points you have made in the body.
Example: So It is plain to see that Britney is talented, has a great sense of fashion and really does try hard to inspire her Fans. This is why I will follow her career for as long as she continues to make music. I can't wait to see what she does next!
Did you get all that Maria? I'll probably be back on the forums in around 2 hours
