Some governments spend a lot of public money training individuals to be successful in international sporting events. Some people believe that this money should be spent on things that will benefit the general public instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many administrations splash out on improving individuals to succeed in global sporting competitions. Some people state that
such
 a huge amount of money should be used for other purposes which will bring positive impacts on the general public. From my perspective, I partly disagree with the statement. The essay tends to elaborate on the matter thoroughly in the following paragraphs. On the
one
 hand, it is undeniable that international sporting events may have specific effects on

 as the World Cup, the Olympics ,… If
one
 nation gains prizes in
such
 competitions, that not only means that it has the opportunity to achieve fame, admiration and trust from the world but
also

Furthermore

On the other hand
, investing a large amount of money into

 as science, history, art,… It can be easily seen that there are many football players or basketball players, who are paid highly after each match they won, have a lot of scandals and bad lifestyle.

Furthermore

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
