In today’s modern society, there are many young
people
 who tend to admire famous athletes,
although
 there are a lot of bad rumours about them.
However
, I think the admiration for the famous celebrities will bring their fans good value.
First
 of all, sports stars are
people
 who get over many difficulties in their life to achieve success.

people
 who love boxing have followed him to practice and improve their own skills.
Furthermore
, good activities
such
 as volunteer works of famous sports stars can impact their fans.
In addition
, well-known athletes can encourage the
people
 who admire them to do good deeds for society.
For example
, as we all know, Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest of all time,

people
 and think of community, so they deserve to be admired.

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.
