    • Body 1: Nêu lí do thứ 1 vì sao negative 
      • Main idea: it takes funding away from the average citizen.  >> IELTS  TUTOR  hướng  dẫn  Cách dùng danh từ "pay" tiếng anh
      • Supporting idea: 
        • Any money diverted towards preparing world-class athletes for international competitions is to some extent a waste as it cuts into the budget for facilities for average people  >> IELTS  TUTOR  hướng  dẫn  Cách dùng danh từ "share" tiếng anh 
        • Direct the funding away from these expensive gyms for top athletes, and it would be possible to build many more facilities that serve a much wider and underserved segment of the population.
      • Example: A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that increased public spending on elite sports programs can lead to a decrease in funding for public recreation facilities and programs 
    • Body 2: Nêu lí do thứ 2 vì sao negative 
      • Main idea: The government should take care of the health and physical development of all citizens   >> IELTS  TUTOR  hướng  dẫn  Cách dùng động từ "allocate" tiếng anh
      • Supporting idea: 
        • Every working citizen pays taxes and should have equal rights for social amenities, including specialized sports centres
        • Funding of special-purpose sports facilities might be considered social inequality    >> IELTS  TUTOR  hướng  dẫn  Cách dùng từ "yet" tiếng anh
      • Example: Helsinki, Finland prioritizes public health by offering a network of free or low-cost sports facilities like pools, tracks, courts, and gyms throughout the city for residents of all income levels.

IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

Some nations prioritize funding for elite sports infrastructure instead of investing in facilities for ordinary citizens. While this policy may help produce internationally recognized athletes, I believe it is largely a negative development because it diverts public money away from community welfare and exacerbates social inequality.

Firstly, investing heavily in exclusive training centres for professional athletes can drain public coffers (làm cạn kiệt ngân sách công - reduce government financial resources significantly) that could otherwise be used to improve community-based sports amenities. Since governments often operate under tight budgets, allocating millions of dollars to state-of-the-art stadiums and high-performance gyms inevitably reduces the amount of funding available for public parks, swimming pools, and recreational centres. This is particularly problematic because ordinary citizens constitute the vast majority of taxpayers and deserve access to affordable fitness opportunities. If policymakers redirected financial resources toward grassroots sports programs, a much larger and more underserved (thiếu sự phục vụ đầy đủ - lacking adequate services or support) segment of society could benefit. For instance, a report by the National Bureau of Economic Research revealed that excessive expenditure on elite sports programs frequently leads to cuts in funding for public recreational services, thereby limiting opportunities for average residents to maintain an active lifestyle.>> 🔥 Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

Moreover, governments should place greater emphasis on the overall health and physical well-being of the population rather than focusing disproportionately on a small number of athletes. Every tax-paying citizen should enjoy equal access to public facilities because sports participation contributes significantly to both physical fitness and mental health. However, the construction of specialized sports complexes solely for top-tier competitors may be viewed as a form of social disparity (bất bình đẳng xã hội - unfair differences between groups in society), especially when low-income communities lack even basic exercise facilities. Instead of creating athlete-centred infrastructure, authorities should develop inclusive and community-oriented (hướng tới cộng đồng - designed to benefit the wider community) sports networks that encourage widespread participation. Helsinki, Finland, for example, has successfully promoted public health by providing residents from all income brackets with free or low-cost access to swimming pools, sports courts, and fitness centres throughout the city.

In conclusion, although specialized sports facilities may enhance international sporting achievements, I believe this trend is negative because it misallocates public funding and neglects the broader health needs of ordinary citizens.
