Some people think that hosting an international sports event is good for the country, while some people think it is bad. Discuss both views and state your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Today some people see that the government should set an international
sports
event
as it gives benefit to the
country
.
However
, others disagree with
this
. I think international
sports
festivals provide both pros and cons to the
country
. The opinion will be discussed in the following paragraphs before the conclusion is reached.
First
of all, international
sports
events represent the economic growth within a
country
that is
the host. Countries that are able to host
this
kind of
event
means that their economics is good enough for them to have enough money to host the
event
.
For example
, the reason why Japan is able to set international
sports
events every year is because of its GDP
that is
very high due to the development of tourism for many years.
However
, the negative impact of arranging international
sports
events is that it does not develop citizens quality of life. International
sports
campaigns just only make a group of people who like playing and watching sport feel happy; the rest of them do not.
Therefore
, some people from a developing
country
argue that the government budget should be spent on other beneficial things,
such
as education, public health, transportation, etc.
instead
of setting an international
sports
event
, which costs a lot of money. In summary, there are both positive and negative impacts for a
country
to organize an international
sports
event
. On the one hand, it makes other countries see the prosperity of a
country
.
On the other hand
, it does not make the overall population feel happier, and it burdens the government's expenditure.
