People spend a lot of money on tickets for sporting and cultural events. Is this a good or bad development?


There is a trend amongst people to spend a lot of money buying tickets for sporting events and cultural shows. A few people think it is a positive development and we must encourage this. Others disagree with that notion. Hence, this essay will discuss the positive and negative consequences.  


Some individuals assume that for them to attend either a cultural or sporting event, a lot of money would have to be spent not only on tickets but also on other trip necessities such as transportation, accommodation and food, especially if the event is being held away from their locality or place of residence. These people are of the opinion that money could instead have been spent on some other things that are worthier. For instance, we can invest that money in gold or property. Moreover, such people assert that their offspring will use this money to make ends meet. 


While these arguments may sound logical, I consider that these people are ignorant or less informed of the bounty of benefits that comes with attending or participating in such events. When people attend cultural or sporting events, especially those held away from their locality or place of residence, they are exposed to the lifestyle and culture of the host communities, and in most cases results in learning the ways of life of those people. In addition, attending sporting events is a great way to take some time off work and relax. Hence, people feel rejuvenated after attending such events. 


Sporting and cultural events attract people from different walks of life and religious and cultural backgrounds, and they have an opportunity to make new friends and build relationships. For instance, a number of people will attend the cricket world cup in Australia this year, and they will reap plenty of benefits. It has been proven over the years to be one of the most fascinating sporting events around the globe. I believe that the money spent on the such event is worth it.


In conclusion, contrary to what numerous people think expending huge money on sporting events is not a waste. In my opinion, it is a good development, and people should realize the enormous benefits of embarking on such trips.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmad...

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a sa...

  CHALLENGES What subject do you think is the most challenging at school? I believe history is one of the most challenging subjects at schools since it is an uphill task for many school-goers to remember historical events and their dates.
