Many people believe that sports professionals earn too much money. They argue that
sport is a form of entertainment rather than a vital public service. We could easily live
without sportspeople, yet other professionals who contribute much more to society are
undervalued and underpaid. For example, football players can earn enormous salaries

school, I would argue that it is better to go to college or university.
Paragraph 1: benefits of getting a job
The option to start work straight after school is attractive for several reasons.

of society)
Conclusion
For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that students are more likely to be
successful in their lives if they continue their studies beyond school level.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the relationship between equality
and personal achievement. Some people believe that individuals can achieve more
in egalitarian societies. Others believe that high levels of personal achievement are
possible only if individuals are free to succeed or fail according to their individual
merits.
