今天小编分享一篇雅思写作A类高分范文：

Some countries have been investing public money in training top athletes to win medals in international sporting events. While this is being criticized by many as an abuse of taxpayers' money, I would argue that under special circumstances, such investment can well generate more positive results than negative ones.The obvious drawback of failing to provide sports facilities for the general public may involve the diminished opportunity for people to improve their overall health by doing regular exercise. However, improving public health through encouraging more active lifestyle will be a long process, especially given the fact that in developing countries, people are generally more concerned about their material needs than their health. This means that most of the public sports facilities may eventually fall into disuse.Therefore, when the country is not rich and the government does not have sufficient fund, gathering the limited amount of money to achieve immediate success in sports could be a wise decision. Having the national flag raised and national anthem played in the international sporting arena will greatly lift the spirit of the whole nation, thus strengthening a sense of patriotism which contributes to enhanced social cohesion and productivity. Furthermore, through demonstrating the perseverance and stamina in the training and winning process, the medal winners can not only inspire people to develop interest in doing related sports, but will also serve as role models for people from all walks of life to enhance their confidence in overcoming all sorts of difficulties.If the success is achieved in team sports, such inspirational effects will be even greater. During the 1980s, the China Women's National Volleyball Team, financially supported by the government, won five world champions in a row. It is now widely acknowledged that the so called 'spirit of the women's volleyball team' has positively influenced a whole generation, playing an irreplaceable role in revitalizing the economy of China.It is of course a good thing for the government to cover every particular need of the public, but the sad truth is that not every government can afford to do so. Therefore, when increasing social cohesion and uniting people have become a priority in the country, getting a few top athletes to win international fame for the whole nation could be a sensible choice.
