Answer:
In today’s world, many people are willing to spend large amount of money to buy tickets for sporting or cultural events. While many people think that it is a total waste of money, I personally think that it is worthwhile. This essay will discuss both opinions, followed by a reasoned conclusion.
Many people think that it is not a good idea to spend money on just a sporting or cultural event. Attending these kinds of events can be costly, not only because of the pricey entrance tickets, but also because of the traveling cost sometimes if the events are held away from participants’ locality or place of residence. They prefer saving or investing their money elsewhere, for example, on gold or property.
While this argument sounds logical, I believe people who approve of it are less informed about the bounty of benefits of participating in such events. When people go to a sporting or cultural event, especially those held away from their hometown, they are exposed to the lifestyle and culture of the host communities, which may result in memorable moments in life. In addition, these special events can also be a nice getaway for people to take some time off work and relax. Furthermore, large sporting and cultural events may attract people from different religious and cultural backgrounds and are great opportunities to make new friends and build relationships. As a matter of fact, I am arranging a trip to Brazil to attend the Carnival which will be held in Rio de Janeiro next Easter. It has been proven to be one of the most colorful and fascinating events around the globe. I believe all the money spent on this trip will worth it.
In conclusion, contrary to some people’s thought, spending money on sporting or cultural events is not a waste. In my opinion, it is a good development and should be encouraged.

Comment:
This topic requires candidates to write from their own knowledge or experience, and I put it into the essay. However, I think that the second paragraph of the essay body is a bit too long. Possibly I should balance between it and the paragraph above.
I am trying to read more about task 2 writing – and find that I have a lot to improve – not only in task response, but also in coherence and cohesion, I think these two aspects are my weak points. Besides, sometimes it’s difficult to think of ideas – maybe I should also practice vocabulary for more flexible use.
In my opinion spending money on these events is good or bad also.it is good and health ful for those who live near by that place where the event going on because the transport problem will be not for those people but the people who live far away they are more likely to watch these events on social media. In this way they save their money also.
