Some people think that hosting international sports events is good for the country, while some people think it is bad. Discuss both views and state your opinion.

Owing to globalization and technology, many international sports competitions take place every year in any decided
country
. It is argued that hosting
such
events is beneficial for the
country
,
while
some short-sighted say it is not good. I think that the
host
country
always gets a lot of benefits, and
this
essay will first discuss how the
country
can boost their
economy
through the received foreign currency and
tourism
during
such
events, and
then
the drawbacks for the
country
as the local important events-related news remains silent and millions of students get disturbed. There are innumerable benefits of hosting the world cup tournaments to the
economy
. One of them is a huge amount of foreign money can be earned because thousands of alien people come to visit and watch the show.
Such
money can be used for infrastructure, healthcare, education and
tourism
.
For example
, recently in the UAE, the FIFA world cup was held and millions of people visited, and thousands of locals got employed. The next one is the fame of the
host
country
and the attraction of international travel would be increased as migrants visit other local popular places as well
besides
watching the event. In my view, I confidently say that the
host
country
's
economy
gets boosted much faster in
this
case as it receives massive foreign currencies
as well as
an attraction for
tourism
.
However
, there are some drawbacks as well for the
host
country
as a lot of local important incidents remain silent during
such
well-known events. The world cup always attracts millions of viewers of all age groups. In
this
case, countless students get disturbed and
as a result
, many of them do not perform academically well as they do usually.
For example
, in India, Cricket is very famous and during an international game show, almost all game lovers spend many hours watching the show forgetting the importance of allocating their time. In my point of view, I can say that
such
demerits to the game viewers can be minimized by some regulations, and
thus
, no one can stop you from seeing the growth of the
host
country
. In conclusion, for hosting the worldwide sports pageant, despite the
host
country
's viewers get deviated from their goals, I opine that they get employment, the
country
's
economy
gets hiked and
tourism
gets promoted because of thousands of temporary migrants.

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.
