Nowadays, young people admire sports stars though they often do not set a good example. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

It is sometimes argued that in recent years, young generations have a tendency to idolize sports celebrities. While I agree that not all famous

could become role models, I would argue that the majority could have a positive impact on youngsters. There are several reasons why sports figures could not set a good example for young adults.
This
could be because some famous athletes have negative

which cause unacceptable influences on young people.
For instance
, these celebrities who have money to burn show a propensity for splurging their money on luxuries, which make the youth imitate their idols and spend money like water.
Furthermore
, a few sports stars foster over-competitive spirits among young generations due to their win-at-all-costs attitudes
such
as swearing or creating conflicts with their opponents, resulting in uncontrolled aggression in the youth.
However
, despite of the aforementioned adverse causes, I would argue that well-known sportsmen still have a beneficial effect on young people.
First
, young adults could pick up many good qualities from sportsmen who they idolize. Take Cristian Ronaldo, who is one of the most reputable football players in the world,
for example

an outstanding football legend with incredible records thanks to his personal effort and determination in the dedication of training.
This
is a source of motivation and inspiration for youngsters to always strive and make attempts on the track of achievements.
In addition

As a result

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
