Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal of more

money than people in other important professionals.Some

people think this is fully justified while

others think it is unfair.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about

the following topic. Give reasons for your answer and include any

relevant examples from your own

knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals

in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at

the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live

extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and

cars.(39words)

Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when

comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or

research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the

responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries

are not determined by considering the contribution to society a

person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds.

Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and

the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So

the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.(85words)

Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might

argue that the number of professionals with real talent is very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a

person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a

player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short

career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little

privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the

huge earnings. (82words)

Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports

stars make is more justified

than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time,

it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on

more essential professions and

achievements.(44words)

Some advertisers have increased the amount of money they

spend trying to persuade children to buy snacks, toys and other

goods. Advertisers claim there is useful information in these

advertisements, Parents object to such pressure on their

children.

Discuss both points of view and give your own opinion.

There is great concern about the effects of advertisements

on adults, but even greater concern about their effects on

children. In my opinion, ads clearly aiming to sell products to

children should be limited. In this essay, I will give my reasons

for thinking this. (45words)

One reason that parents objects to advertising pressure on

children is that children are more likely than adults to be

influenced by non-factual aspects of advertising, such as bright

colours and famous stars appearing in ads. This can lead to

children wasting money (either their own or their parents’) on things that they don’t really need. The way in which advertisers

continually focus more on non-factual aspects of advertisements

also suggests that advertisements are not so concerned with

informing people as they claim. (83words)

Another problem as far as parents are concerned, is that

advertisers spend much more money on advertising products

that can be unhealthy for children, such as fast food and snack

foods. Advertisers claim that they only encourage children to

consume such products in moderation, but such messages, if

indeed here any, only appear as minor suggestions in very small

print. (60words)

A third problem for parents is that children often pressure

their parents to buy them things, often simply because their

friends have them. This can be particularly distressing for parents;

since kids often try to associate the number of things

their parents buy them with how much their parents love

them, which is simply untrue and unfair. Parents who are on low

incomes will obviously find the pressure even

greater. (70words)

Advertisers may claim that there is useful information in their

ads, but this very hard to discern. Many advertisements show

stars playing sports or people enjoying themselves. It is hard to

justify the suggestion that drinking a certain drink will turn you

into a sports star or that eating a bar of chocolate will suddenly

turn

you into a fun person.(61words)

To conclude, I think that parents are right to be concerned

about how advertisements

affect their children. (17) ( 336)
