These days, it is often argued that the Olympics
is
Suggestion
are
no longer relevant in the present era. Despite having its origin in unpopular ancient's believes, I disagree with
this
notion because
this
sporting event helps to promote
tourism
and
world
peace.
Firstly
, the Olympics supports
tourism
as it brings people from various parts of the
world
together for the sporting event. Both the host cities and visitors benefit tremendously as
such
cities experience massive infrastructural development to attract tourists and the tourists are offered the opportunity to visit sites previously unknown to them.
For instance
, the Sydney Olympics in 2000 enlightened people about the beautiful city of
sydney
the largest Australian city located in southeastern Australia on the Tasman Sea; state capital of New South Wales; Australia's chief port
Sydney
and Australia.

, Australia experienced a surge in
tourism

world
.
Furthermore
, the Olympics promote peace around the
world

the good diplomatic relationship
is needed. More so, nations leave behind their political differences during the events while campaigns against discrimination

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
