BAND 5.5 IELTS ESSAY SAMPLE: TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS - BOON OR BANE? SOCIETY'S PERSPECTIVES DISCUSSED

Engage in regular exercise is important for many people, but nowadays people primary emphasis on achieving a physically fit body rather than prioritizing the health benefits of sports. In my opinion sports are important way to help physical fitness but the more important point is that the main function of doing sport is improve our physical and also mental health. In this essay will address why people focus on having a fit body rather than merits of sports. The reason behind that why people prefer sports to have a fit body is deferent, one of that is, most people in this era are influenced by media and society. Thanks to social media people believe that should have an ideal body and this reason lead to they focus more on their physical appearance instead of their overall health. Lake of awareness is another issue that especially youth don’t care their health. If people know about what effects sports have on their mental and physical health, they will no longer think only about fitness. As my experience, after one of my friends went on a diet and started to exercise and then she was fit, she had a very bad chronic backache that was due to lake of awareness concerning lose weight. In other hand, the problems caused by this view is, over exercising that may people push themselves too hard in pursuit of fit body. Another point that people neglect to that is, when they focus solely on their appearance, it cause to don’t attention their self-cognitive, overcoming stress or other matters of self-knowledge. To conclude, many people use sports just for losing weight and be on fit, not a true way for their health. I suppose to the main goal of doing sports is save our health, both physically and mentally. And because people are very influenced by social media, they should learn from it and not just look after their body shape.
