[IELTS] Causing problems when holding international sporting events

IELTS Writing Task 2

(Question)

Some people think that large international sporting events cause many problems to the host country and it is not worth holding it. Do you agree or disagree?

Planning

Disagree.

1. Awareness of country increase. Good for enhancing national competitiveness.

2. Can cause national debt. But restaurants and shops can have tremendous income from visitors.

3. Unifying people from all over the world.

It is said that numerous issues are caused to the host country when holding magnificent global sports events, which is useless to the nation. However, I totally disagree with the statement based on valid reasons.

To begin with, there are several principal reasons why taking place international sporting games is advantageous even if some issues are caused. First and foremost, I believe that it is no doubt that the index of the country’s awareness and reputation increases when the government advertises the event with its nationality. For this reason, there will be a benefit of enhancing national competitiveness. Thanks to this positive aspect, the host countries will have more opportunities to take high or equal position in international trade. Accordingly, even though the amount of national debt can be augmented owing to the large preparation for events, host countries have further expectation for overcoming the debt after the sports events.

Secondly, it is the fact that becoming the venue for renowned sports festivals is not only just raising awareness of nationality but also informing of the host countries’ assorted cultures. Due to this benefit, people who are doing business related to traditional eatery and tourism have high potential of earning tremendous profit during the period of events. In fact, not even in the period of the sporting event, it can be inferred that there will be a growing number of tourists after international matches. Lastly, by means of unifying people from all over the world, international sports matches can play significant role. Since a vast number of people come from various countries, there will be a great chance of getting along with foreigners. Moreover, it will be a great chance to introduce and understand cultures, so that both local and foreign people can be familiar with each other’s behaviors and traditions.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that holding a large scale of sporting games is recommendable as it boosts the economic condition of the country and it improves the relationship with participating countries.
