Task II

Successful people professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.

People have different view about whether it is fair some professional like football players are paid a great deal of money or it would be worthwhile that same amount of money to orientate vital services. Although there are convincing arguments in favor of to pay sport professional more money, I personally believe that it is unfair.

Opponents of this view claim that sport players have a right to be rewarded for their skills. They invest more hours of practicing their ability and sometimes consent putting their life under a risk in order to reach their aim. For example, Although North and south Korean are enemy with each other, but each country national players met in stadium several years ago. At that time, rival players of North side are in alarm due to obvious fear of being attacked by local fans. That’s why some people believe that all successful sport players deserve high amount of money.

Supporters of this argument think that the role of players is not vital in a society. They are well-paid and becoming increasingly reach from day to day. There are other professionals that are in need of helping by government. For example, Some people are experts in their field that their services are important to community, but they are usually poor –paid. They play pivotal role in society and without them nobody can imagine life. Many people also claim that players do nothing except just simple kicking a ball. There is no doubt that without these football players society would an opportunity to provide professionals like engineers ,economists ,teachers and doctors with sufficient money.

To sum up, It seems to me that successful sports players earn too much money than ever before, but it would be useful to be substituted with other important professionals.

There are other professionals that are in need of help from the government. For example, some people are experts in fields that are important to the community, but they are usually poorly paid.

There is no doubt that, without these football players, society would have an opportunity to provide professionals like engineers, economists, teachers and doctors with sufficient money. (<-- with sufficient money for what? A better standard of living? More research? Better education for everyone? It is a good idea to add an example or a bit more information here.)

To sum up, it seems to me that successful sports players earn more money than ever before, but it would be better to pay that money to other important professionals.
Hi Muxtar

I really liked the example you used of the North Korean football players. This was a great way to demonstrate your point. Good job!
