Governments should spend money to encourage the development of sport and art for school students rather than supporting professional sports and art performances for the public. Do you agree or disagree?

As society is advancing by leaps and bounds, people attach great importance to
sports
and
arts
. Under
this
circumstance, an absolute consensus can hardly be reached as to whether
money
should be spent on developing

sports
and
arts
in schools rather than wasting
money
on professional events. For my part, I side with the advocates to the large extent based on the following sound reasons.
Firstly
, it is noteworthy that it would be a huge chance for each individual to enhance their skills not only in academic subjects
such
as maths or languages but
also
in physics or creativity
such
as
sports
and
arts
. Many studies have shown that

could help students become more confident in improving themselves.
For example
, I have a Japanese friend, who had to cycle almost 25 kilometres every day in order to get to the nearest stadium, to practice basketball, which was his hobby
as well as
his talent. The reason was in his high school, there was no space for him to practice.
However

the road between his house and the stadium. In case, if his school was supported by the authorities to have a good enough place for him and his friends to play basketball, he could follow his dream until now.
Secondly
, another reason why I agree is that I believe that
this
is a way to motivate children to develop their creativity and
also
a way to keep talented people in the country. It is undeniable that the more talents representing a nation take part in international contests, the more profits and values that the
government
receive from other countries.
For instance
, unlike other nations' soccer teams, in Vietnam, youngsters who love soccer are always provided opportunities to improve their abilities.
Therefore
, even though other countries tried to have our talents with a large amount of
money
, our famous soccer players still play for Vietnam, because they know where they were born and raised and are loved by the
government
. In conclusion, I am convinced that the
government
should invest
money

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.
