Popular events like football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing International tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Sports events around the world have gained a lot of popularity and have become a symbol of pride for the hosting nation.
However
, in the midst of the games, some suggest that it would be better to discuss critical political issues with other world leaders attending the event to ease of international
tension
, while some consider
otherwise
.
This
essay would discuss both views and prove that
such
gatherings are essential in easing international
tension
and releasing patriotic emotions. Various international sporting events like the Olympics, Common Wealth Games etc. Are hosted by different nations all year long. One on hand, some would argue that
such
programs must not be mixed with a political agenda and must only be seen as for what it is- a sports event. Because, if the
discussion
misses its point or is misunderstood, it could lead to a bitter relationship between the countries. During the recent Bralizian Sports Meet 2017, the world leaders of the South Asian countries parted away as their
discussion
over the Kashmir borders took a nasty turn.
Thus
, sports competition are not the best place to discuss political issues and rather the leaders should focus on motivating the participants.
On the other hand
,
such
events enables a cultural exchange between the host and participating countries. World leader of all countries
also mark
Suggestion
also marks
has also marked
their presence at these events and
such
gathering would lead to a dialogue amongst
such
leaders eventually helping them to understand each other and diluting of any stress.
For instance
, the political science students are often referred the 1989 Olympic Games in Germany when the US President, James Cameron, met the
then
Army Commander of Germany and while discussing, resolved the growing
tension
between them.
This
incident is marked in the history as "The settlement of 1989".
Hence
,
such
international events act not only as a sports activity, but
also
as a
discussion
forum. Even though sometimes the
discussion
over the critical issues during the international games may not end on a positive note, there have been many incidences in the past when during the games countries were able to discuss and resolve their differences.
As a result
, in my opinion, these international sport tournaments act as a stage for countries to meet, discuss, mutually understand and reach agreements
thus
making them essential in easing international
tension
.

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
