Trang 1Đề thi và bài mẫu IELTS Writing Task 2 ngày 18/3/2017
Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports, while others think people should have freedom to do any sports or activity Discuss both views and give your own opinion
You should write at least 250 words
Model Answer 1:
Activities, as it is said, keep a person young and energetic It is in tune with it that a person must always keep oneself occupied with an activity of any sort Sporting activity is one of many activities which pay
no heed to the age barrier
As a matter of fact, sporting activities contribute a lot towards the physical fitness, mental ability /
balance and overall characteristic of an individual However, a ‘dangerous’ sporting activity must be undertaken by an individual with an extra caution Though a dangerous sporting activity is generally performed due to a sudden rush of adrenalin but the consequences of such an activity are not reasonably positively skewed The probability of an untoward incident, while performing a dangerous sporting activity, is always high
It is due to this reason that State interference, to a reasonable extent, is welcome The activities which are more skewed towards the possibility of a fatal accident must be regulated and consequently banned
by the government
However, there is another school of thought which is on the view that individuals must be accorded the freedom to choose the sport according to their wishes The ideology of the followers of this school of thought is that the individual is matured enough to understand what is more beneficial to him However, they fail to look beyond the veil, probably reason due to which an individual undertakes the performance
of such dangerous acts The reasons may vary from peer pressure, family circumstances, financial needs
or just momentary pleasure Whatever may be the reason, an individual must not be given the liberty to put his life, and consequently the life of his dependents, at risk The fortnightly sports magazine, The Risktakers, did share the views of the son of the famous skydiver, Peterson, who met with an accident while trying to attempt skiing after getting himself released from the parachute at a height of only 15 feet above the ground level
Yet another interview with the daughter of another renowned sports person, Robinson, revealed the sad story wherein after the death of his paratrooper father, it became difficult for her to make her both ends meet during her teenage The only reason for the death of her father was that he wanted to set a record of
Trang 2jumping from an unbelievable height.
In the end, I am of the opinion that there should be the complete ban on the dangerous sporting activities
as it is the survivors of the deceased who has to pay a heavy price for the acts of their mentors

Sample band 7:
An abundant variety of sports activities spring up nowadays，including some dangerous sports such as bungee jumping and parachuting.Should this kind of sports activity be banned by the government? A public debate has been ignited regarding this issue
Those who maintain that government should ban dangerous sports activities argue on the grounds that a government has a responsibility to protect its population In other words, the law should be obstructed to prevent citizens from taking risks themselves, whether deliberately or unintentionally Therefore,
banning unsafe sports is necessary Besides, doing extreme sports such as bungee jumping and
parachuting can bring tragedies to people themselves as well as their families.If there are some
unexpected cases, a person might get hurt both physically and mentally
While other people hold the view that it is people’s liberty to do whatever sports activities they choose Not infringing citizens’ freedom should be regarded as a government’s priority In addition, having personal freedom is a sacred human right With the rapid development of advanced technology and medical insurance in our society, the security system of those extreme sports is absolutely mature
enough to protect people who take part in these challenging activities What’s more, a ban might just lead to people deciding to turn on to do some other risky things to relax themselves from the high
pressure in modern society, which cannot solve the problem per se
As far as I am concerned, to ban or not to ban in essence, is the individual decision Laws and
regulations should just stand by, just like they do when facing the issue of smoking
Sample band 7:
A variety of games and sports attract countless audiences and fans all over the world It is often argued that some hazardous sports should be prohibited since it has a negative impact on our society, while others feel like individuals have rights to choose whatever sports they like Personally, I believe that aggression should not be permitted in the name of sport, so those brutal sports that glorify violence should be banned
Trang 3Admittedly, professional sport events like horse racing and rugby contribute greatly to the local economy,
as well as offer people numerous job opportunities Thai boxing is a perfect example of how profitable dangerous sports can be It has become an important component of tourism and it is the reason why
thousands of tourists flock to Thailand each year Many fans believe these challenging sports provide a physical outlet for aggression, therefore they love watching these matches Moreover, many say that extreme sports such as free climbing, parkour and paragliding are more of a lifestyle choice that push the limits of human endurance and athleticism So these risk-intensive hobbies with no intention of hurting others should be supported
Nevertheless, others argue that some dangerous sports are nothing but an excuse of violence Also,
activities like hunting or bull-fighting are pure barbaric practices With regard to popular competitions like boxing and wrestling, any talk of the athletic spirit is sheer hypocrisy when your goal is to
physically and intentionally hurt your opponent Meanwhile, these cruel games tend to give children the wrong message that it is acceptable to punch others To be specific, it teaches people to use their fists instead of their words And the fact that some fighting champions become television stars makes people idolize brute strength even more Besides, illegal gambling and crimes related to gangs are rampant, especially when they go underground
In summary, the government should implement regulations on such dangerous sports and inhibit those that hurt or even kill people
