Many companies sponsor sports as a way for advertising themselves. Some people think it is good for the world of sports, while others think there are disadvantages to this. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

In
this
 day and age, it is popular for the
sports
world
 to be sponsored by private enterprises.
Although
 some people argue that it can be disadvantageous, I am of the opinion that it has beneficial effects on the
world
 of
sports
. On the one hand, it is believed that receiving support from companies can bring disadvantages to the
sports
world
 due to several reasons. One of them is that
sports
 may be commercialized and dominated by the sponsors’ desires. To be more specific, athletes may be reluctant to become public figures who endorse the sponsoring brands, which can distract them from practice and training.
Besides
, investing money in
sports
 teams somehow gives companies the authority to manipulate the matches’ results or advertise themselves offensively and excessively.
Consequently
,
this
 can have bad consequences on the performance of athletes and the watching experience of audiences.
On the other hand
, despite some aforementioned demerits, I hold a firm belief that the
world
 of
sports
 can exert numerous benefits from investment by private organizations.
First
 of all, specialized
sports
 facilities for training can be improved with these financial supports. In fact, since the government has to allocate the national budget for more serious issues
such
 as poverty, education and medical care,
sports
 fields seem to be in desperate need of finance for development.
Besides
, the living standards of sportsmen can be enhanced if companies sponsor them.
In particular
,
sports
 athletes can be paid a more deserving amount of money for their efforts in training and competing.
This
hence
 would motivate them to push their limits and bring pride to the nation. In conclusion, the disadvantages of
this
 trend are varied, yet I am more convinced that it is good for the
sports
world
 to receive financial help from businesses in terms of updating
sports
 amenities and paying higher salaries for sportsmen.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
