IELTS writing : Should extreme sports be banned because they are too dangerous?
There is a growing tendency for people to enjoy extreme sports as their leisure. However, these activities are highly dangerous, and some people insist that they should be prohibited. This essay will argue that people should have the rights to experience extreme sports as they like and to offer these opportunities for business.
First, if the government bans these sports, it would have a negative impact on tourism. Nowadays it has become more popular to add such an activity in their trip schedule. Providing these opportunities is significant source of income for the local people. For instance, in some resorts, scuba diving is one of the most attractive activities especially for young adults. In winter, some people living in the mountain make their living by running a skiing ground or working as a skiing instructor. Considering these things, banning these sports would lead not only to limiting people’s pleasure but also to loss of job chances.
Second, it is difficult to make rules to control extreme sports. There are various kinds of sports in the world, and most of them have risks of injury to some extent. Thus, there is no distinctive difference in the level of danger. Any attempts to establishing laws of prohibition would end up in vain. Creating rules to ensure the safety should be more realistic and effective.
In conclusion, even though extreme sports are somewhat perilous, banning them is an unrealistic solution regarding the popularity and the impact on economy. In my opinion, the government does not need to forbid them as long as they are regulated by law moderately to protect people and the environment.
