Task 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

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

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

It is thought by some people that a country can be benefitted from hosting an international sports event, while it is thought by other people that it is not beneficial. In my opinion, it is advantageous for a country to host an international sports event. This essay will discuss both the good and bad sides of hosting an international sports event.

There are many reasons why it is a good opportunity for a country to organize an international sports event. Firstly, this will allow the country to be famous. For example, Bangladesh is a developing country. Not many people know about this country. Hosting an international sports event will attract media to broadcast the event. This will allow people to know about the country. Secondly, Bangladesh also participates in international sports events. Playing in own country can encourage the players to play even better. For example, Bangladesh participates in cricket. Therefore, if the players can play in their own field, it can boost their confidence and motivate them to play better and win for their motherland.

It is believed by some people that it is bad to host an international sports event by a country. There are reasons for it. Some people think that this requires a lot of money which may not be ideal to spend. For example, Bangladesh is a developing country. There are hungry and homeless people, so it is right to think that spending money on hosting a sports event is wrong.

Another reason may be the fear of losing in one's own country. For example, Bangladesh may host an international sports event and Bangladesh team itself may lose the game. This might be a bit embarrassing to the people.

To conclude, I would like to reiterate my opinion that it is good for a country to host an international sports event. Though are some disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
