International sporting events promote peace between countries.  To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#events #peace #countries
A game involves physical activities done for fun. Examples of these
games
 are football, volleyball, athletics etc. All over the world, many individuals partake in sporting activities. In fact, I agree that sports competitions amongst different nations help in fostering peace and tranquillity between them.
Firstly
, when
games
 are held and played internationally,
people
 get to socialize with other
people
 of different races. When
games
 are scheduled to play in another
country
, fans who want to see their
teams
 contest
travel
Add the particle
to travel
show examples
 to wherever to see them play. By doing so, they tend to mingle with the
people
 there.
People
 go as far as accommodating their new friends and showing them around their
country
 after the game. Other
people
also
 meet their spouses
thus
 maintaining peace between two
people
 of different nationalities.
Furthermore
, apart from supporters making friends, the players are exposed to foreign managers and coaches who most often employ them to play for their
teams
. As
games
 go on, officials watch and target certain players whom they'll want to be part of their
teams
 there. The result of
this
 is those
people
 from the player's
country
 rally behind the international team only because someone from their
country
 is in the team.
For instance
, most Ghanaians support Chelsea; a European football club because Micheal Essien who is a Ghanaian was signed and plays for the team.
This
 keeps the bond between Ghana and Europe tighter. In conclusion, sporting events held in another
country
 help in promoting inter-
country
 peace as
people
 make new friends and players get to play for international
teams
.

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.
