grammatical accuracy
Ensure that grammatical errors such as incorrect verb forms ('is spending' should be 'is spent') and typos ('many' should be 'money', 'dolars' should be 'dollars', 'plant' should be 'planted', 'to' should be 'too', etc.) are minimized. These minor errors can sometimes distract the reader from the main argument.
supporting ideas
Consider providing more detailed examples or evidence that directly support your argument. For example, explain not only how a friend met new people during the Olympics but perhaps also how these friendships were beneficial.

Make sure each paragraph clearly addresses a specific aspect of the topic, with smooth transitions between different points of discussion. This will further enhance the logical flow of your essay.
structure
The essay provides a clear introduction and conclusion, outlining the significance and impact of the Olympic Games on bringing people together versus the financial considerations.

The piece discusses both sides of the argument effectively, providing a balanced view of the topic.
