According to a number of people hosting international sports events in their country is good while others argue on the same point by considering it is not appropriate for the betterment of their own province. In
this
Linking Words
task, I will be discussing both views and will conclude by giving an opinion.
Firstly
Linking Words
, hosting an international sports event like the Olympics, commonwealth games in one's own territory can be beneficial owing to the matter that by conducting
such
Linking Words
affairs we show respect towards other regions due to which cordial relations are maintained between any two countries which for the sure benefit our own territory.
For instance
Linking Words
, if India organizes the match for the national game of America, it will for sure fetch tourism as numerous tourists who have a keen interest in that sport come to India to attend the live program and definitely will be a boon for the Indian economy and
moreover
Linking Words
, our international relations will be one step up by the considerable effort.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, people who think that it is a bad idea are
likewise
Linking Words
right to a great extent owing to the fact that
instead
Linking Words
of promoting international sport and culture we should promote our own sports.
For example
Linking Words
, there are a plethora of Indian games that have been extinct due to their unpopularity among natives.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, that expenditure which was to invest in hosting these athletics affairs can be used for benefit of own homeland by investing it in the infrastructure of athletics schools and other activities related to games. For exemplification , a man dying from hunger has nothing to do with the pastime.
Besides
Linking Words
, the influx of so many foreigners can lead to an increase in the incidences of crime. According to my opinion, hosting an event related to other country sport is beneficial for other countries in light of the fact that it helps in a number of ways like spreading their own cultural values to other countries and
additionally
Linking Words
it will indirectly contribute to the economy of that country which is hosting but
this
Linking Words
should be done by looking into fact that own nation
also
Linking Words
needs money for development. To illustrate, if State has limited resources and wealth and
that is
Linking Words
spent on conducting event
then
Linking Words
it will be of no use for own nation. To conclude, I would say that in the era of globalization people from various land maintain relations with each other, and hosting
such
Linking Words
events in the nation will make a strong bond between the two nations but
this
Linking Words
needs to be done by maintaining balance with the resources.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
