You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic. 🔶Many companies sponsor sports as a way of advertising themselves. Some people think that it is a good thing, while others think that it has disadvantages. 🔸Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Write at least 250 words.

With the changing world the methods used for advertising have drastically changed. More and more companies are tilting towards sports sponsorship as a medium to advertise their brand. Some people are all for
this
while some,
on the contrary
are against. I consider that
this
is an excellent measure to dominate and perpetuate a company or a brand.
This
essay will discuss both pros and cons of
such
advertisements and give probable insights as to why I consider it to be the right choice.
Firstly
, people who are of the opinion that advertising and publicity through sports consider certain facts which includes an acknowledgement of the fact that in the modern era, sports is a field which has taken the world by storm
besides
some others.
This
increased sports frenzy has made a significant increase in the audience who watch it both on the fields as well as on their televisions.
As a result
, it appears to me as a very smart decision to present your product to
such
a massive audience as that one of the sports.
This
can be magnified by considering the example, of the difference between the reach of the audience of a product pictured on the jerseys of a team in a world cup football final versus a product displayed normally on the television. Despite, the large number of people that watch sports
such
kind of advertising has some people believe that it is a risk and wastage to spend
such
hefty amount for advertising their brand.
Such
people rely on more conventional methods of advertisements.
For example
, sliders on news programs, billboards on roads, print media and electronic media. But, I believe that these traditional advertisers are wrong and are loosing massive opportunities to steer the eyes towards their products by sports publicity. Conclusively, It is to be said that in spite of some people believing
otherwise
. It is highly unlikely that companies would stop sports advertising anytime soon. I consider that
such
entities who invests in advertisement through sports over the traditional and customary way of advertisement have made a brilliant choice as compared to those who still abide by and refuse to let go of the conventional methods. It can easily be predicted that unless conventional advertisers change their ways they will soon not only be overtaken by the modern sports advertisers.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
