Dear Kompasianers, I am to sit for an IELTS exam on April 24th, 2010. Thus, these days I cannot post many writings nor make comments on your postings. Hope I could breeze through the test, okay? ;-)
Anyway, the following is one of my essays responding to a writing task given in an IELTS preparation book. Anyone willing to opine about my notions, simply do not hesitate.
WRITING TASK
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic.
Popular events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.
You should write at least 250 words.
MY RESPONSE
