Over the past fifty years, international sports events such as Olympic games and world cup competition have played an increasing important role in our society. However, many people think such events are an enormous waste of money, time and effort. Do you agree?

It is considered that
sports
events play a big part in our lives.
Moreover
, global activities
such
as the Olympic games and various world competitions influence
people
well.
However
, some of us suppose that all these doings are just wasting taxpayers
money
. In
this

I will try to give my own opinion about the mentioned earlier topic and view from the other side.
Firstly
, I want to make a point. There is no doubt,
this
theme is extremely controversial.
People
who consider that an event like the Olympic games a waste of
money
are right to some extent. The funds which have been spent on events the government could invest in priority areas.
For example
, in my ,hometown the authority decided to build a new stadium for a hockey world cup. While the local medical centres are in poor condition.
In addition
, I think only wealthy countries should organize huge
sports
events and more importantly only if the citizens do not mind it.
On the other hand
, it is well known that any
sports
promotions affect society positively. Young
people
who watch activities on TV or on the internet want to be a part of that movement.
As a result
, their health is getting better.
Also
, not all
sports
require expensive equipment. And from
this
side spending
money
, time and effort are worth it. So, I cannot completely agree with
people
who complain about the waste of resources. In conclusion, the topic of
this
essay is very debatable. Both points of view have their positive and negative sides
such
as saving
money
or getting healthier. I believe that an event will be useful if the country can afford it.
