Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports, while others think people should have freedom to do any sports or activity. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

#people #governments #ban #sports #freedom #activity
In recent years, the deaths and injuries associated with many dangerous sports are giving serious concern to the society. Some people,
therefore
, think that all extreme sports should be banned, and yet I would argue that people should have the rights to choose any sports. It sounds logical that a ban on all dangerous sporting activities is advisable despite the consequences. In fact, even when individuals are well-prepared and have all the right equipment to participate in these sports, the dangers are still present.
This
 means that prohibiting all those sports can help prevent players from being seriously injured or having fatal consequences which are caused by these hidden dangers.
In addition
, many extreme sports
such
 as boxing represent violence, which is very likely to encourage aggressive thoughts and behaviours of viewers, especially young children.
However
, banning these kinds of sports can place many athletes in the state of joblessness and
therefore
 lead to several other social issues. Not only can allow people to freely participate in any sports solve unemployment issues, it can
also
 increase social well-being.
Firstly
, several people have an innate talent for sports that are sometimes dangerous. Avoiding banning these sports could help create better employment opportunities not only for them, but
also
 for employees in related industries like advertising.
Second
, the main purpose of playing sports, whether dangerous or not, is to have fun, recreation and entertainment.
This
 may effectively help players or even audiences to release stress after hard work, thereby improving their productivity and giving a boost to the economy. In conclusion, while acknowledging the real risks, the right of individuals to take part in sports of their choice should be retained.

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

    ln many parts of the world, children are given more freedom than in the post. ls this a posifive or a negative development?

    Children now-a-days can enjoy a lots of flexibility and independence in many certain aspects of their life in many countries and cultures. This is almost a new trend as previously they were not able to enjoy such leniency. In my opinion, this new trend of providing children their freedom of thinking and doing things at their own is a positive development. Although there might be some negative aspects of being derailed from their track due to lack of proper guidelines, these can be resolved by endowing freedom at a certain stage when they will be able to distinguish between what is good and harmful.

    In Some Countries An Increasing Number Of People Are Suffering From Health Problems As A Result Of Eating Too Much Fast Food

    In these days, there is a fact that the number of people have health issues because of overusing junk food is increasing. Hence, some people believe that the authorities should enact a higher tax for these kinds of food. I totally agree with this viewpoint because it will help to decrease the people’s demand on fast food and it also encourage people cooking healthy meal at home.

    Crime appears to be rising in most countries in the world, especially among young people. What are the possible causes of this trend, and what solutions would be effective reducing crime.

    In many societies around the globe, the offense rate appears to be increased, specifically by youngsters. In this essay, we will discuss the core causes of this trend and possible solutions. Nowadays, the gravest reason for this situation seems that the relation between entertainment media which shows violence, and crime scenes, and young people who are watching and hearing those contents most of the time. These violent imaginaries affect the children’s behavior and characters negatively. At a young age, most kids are not capable of clarifying the distinction between right and wrong actions by themselves. It might lead them to commit a crime or to have a temptation of offense. So, to prevent this situation, authorities need to concern more seriously about the creator of those contents, and if it is needed, they should tighten the restrictions for the upcoming media content. Similarly, families need to pay more attention to what their kids are watching and hearing. If it se...
