Band 7

Some think that the Olympic games help bring people from different nations together. Others, however, think that hosting the Olympics wastes money which could be used for important issues. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

#think #olympic #games #people #nations #olympics #wastes #money
From ancient times,
people
 considered organizing the
Olympic
games
 to demonstrate their national interdependence and improve international relationships.
However
, host governments could use an enormous amount of money that spends on the
Olympic
games
 to improve other aspects of life. As far as I am concerned, support of your own country and radical change in it is the most valuable goal, while the
Olympic
games
also
 allow
people
 to improve and understand relations with international
people
. Ambassadors of the
Olympic
games
 could argue that
this
 is important to keep the peace in the world. Due to frequent interactions with visitors from foreign
countries
,
people
 make friends with other
nations
 and understand their cultures.
Therefore
, they won't see enemies in other nationalities and will prevent wars. Simultaneously, being a fan of a team releases a lot of aggression, which not only increases the chances to build better relationships with the other
nations
 but
also
 prevents
further
 ambitions to show superiority over other
countries
.
On the other hand
, investing money in education and medicine could prevent wars and do some other important tasks in
nations
 life, may argue another side. Mostly,
countries
 with the largest educational and medicine budget are the most peaceful
countries
 in the world,
for example
, UK or France.
Moreover
, investment in different social facilities could increase the level of life.
This
 may incentivise other
countries
 to bring
nations
 together and develop to achieve collective goals in undeniably crucial areas, space and science,
for instance
. To conclude,
although
, the
Olympic
games
 surely solidify relationships between
nations
, money in their organisation could be used more efficiently than they are used now.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

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.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
