Some people think that professional athletes make good role models for young people,
while others believe they don’t.

Discuss both these points of views and give your own opinion.

People everywhere like watching sports. Many top (1-athletics)__________are admired

throughout their countries, and some even have fans all around the world. Young people
especially, view many athletes as role models and want to emulate the way these stars dress,
act and live their lives. While some athletes aren't deserving of their "role model" status,
others act like role models and (2-responsibility)___________ community (3-
citizenship)___________.

Top athletes get the attention of (4-youth)___________people. Most children and teenagers
like to follow professional sports. For many of them, star athletes represent heroes, and
children want to be like their heroes. This means they will want to play sports, which is good
for their (5-healthy)______________. Playing sports also teaches (6-
value)_____________life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, goal setting, and the realities
of dealing with success and failure. Professional athletes demonstrate the importance of
working hard to achieve a goal, or practicing (7-regular)_____________ to become good at
something. This is a good example for children to follow.

However, professional athletes are not always good role models. For one thing, when young
athletes reach a level of fame, it comes with media attention, large (8-
finance)__________benefits and social attention. This can lead children to believe that money
and fame are an important part of sports. Children might focus more on these aspects than on
the fun of the game or on the challenge of learning how to play (9-good)______________.
Then there are those athletes who behave badly. For example, some cheat to win their games
or take drugs to improve their performance. This kind of behavior sends the wrong message to
children.

Athletes are people who are held at a lofty place in the society owing to their popularity and
wealth. These attributes are what makes people want to look up to them and model various
facets of their lives along those of the athletes. We can thus be led to conclude that (10-
profession)__________ athletes can be very good role models for children, as long as they
focus on the positive aspects of playing sports.

In our lives, we (1-travel)_________from one place to another for a great variety of reasons
and while travelling we greatly (2-depend)___________on cars, whether it is a private car or
a public bus. The number of car owners (3-increase)____________every day because every
person expects the freedom to travel and comfort while travelling. And that is why most of us
want to own a car. However, owning a car has many advantages and disadvantages as well.

The main advantage of owning a car is that it gives the freedom to travel. If you have a car
then you (4-no need)___________ to be limited to fixed routes and timetables. Moreover, a
car-owner can take is/her family members with him/her and other necessary goods whenever
he/she wishes which might have been impossible otherwise. In addition, personal cars (5-
give)___________comfort while travelling on the contrary to the public buses which are so
crowded and disgusting. You can read books, listen to music or even can play with kids while
you are in your own car but those all seems to be impossible in a public transport. On the
contrary, owning a car is very expensive. The price of the car, the cost of the tax, insurance
cost, fuel cost, driver's salary, car repairing etc. all must be considered before (6-
buy)__________a car and that is why it is out of reach of the middle-class people.

Moreover, private cars can not carry many passengers at a time yet occupy spaces in the
street. As the number of cars is increasing in the road so does the traffic jam. Perhaps the
major disadvantage of cars, in general, is the huge damage they do to the human health and to
the environment. More cars (7-mean)____________more pollution. The environment
pollution is a serious issue today and at any cost, we must reduce the amount of pollution and
if we consider it then owning a car is never a good idea.

To sum up, (8-have)______________ a car gives someone freedom but if public

transportation system is easily accessible, safe and efficient, then the idea of buying and
owning a car should be abandoned.
