这次雅思写作考试依旧出现了少有的AB卷，而AB卷的原因，其一当然是为了避免一些买答案的不法行径，其二其实一定程度上也是为了消弱中国机构老师预测的准确性。可见中国老师们的预测还是杠杆滴。

本题为政府类题目。

Introduction.

Actually, it is only during the last few years that man has becomegenerally aware that the importance of art and sports. Some people are of theopinion that with the limited budget the government should invest money in artand sports education. As I see it, holding the professional sports and artcompetition are as important as, if not more important than the former. So Ibelieve that it is sagacious to spend money on running the technical sports andart competition.

Body.

To begin with, competitions can play an important role in education.Obviously, there are various forms of education and according to a surveypeople especially youngsters are more likely to receive education in the formof entertainment. By watching sports and art matches, they are able togradually learn the sense of unity and how to communicate with others as wellas appreciate artistic works.

On the other hand, holding sports and art competition is an activemeasure to improve citizens’ mental and physical health. If residents’ health isimproved, people need not spend too much money on medical care and thus themoney can be saved to other field, which can promote the growth of the grossdomestic product. Thus in a long term, investing funds in sports and artcompetition can save plenty of money and create much more economic value.

Conclusion.

Admittedly, art and sports education is also essential. However, withour current limited budget, I prefer the choice of investment in holding theprofessional art and sports competition. And there is little doubt that furtherattention must be paid to the issue.
