Essay 2 for Independent writing

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

For many people, directly watching musical or sporting event is more exciting than watching it on TV. Moreover, attending a live performance is a chance for young people to express their enthusiasm. However, I have an opposite opinion because of the following reasons.

Watching football matches on TV is always cheaper than watching those in a stadium. Nowadays, cable TV has a lot of sporting channels and we can turn on TV to watch all tennis, volleyball and football matches of all championships in the world. I don’t have to buy an airplane ticket to go to Old Trafford Stadium to enjoy directly the Manchester United’s matches. However, on Sunday night, I just turn on TV to watch football matches and drink coffee together with my friends. In spite of the fact that I never enter a stadium, I am still so happy in watching football matches at home.

Watching live events on TV is safe. Once a sporting event occur, hooligans often make some trouble in public. Thus if I meet them, I may be at risk. Moreover, there are a lot of pickpockets that mix in crowd and I may lose something by bad guys. For instance, when I was a child, my parents took me to a fireworks display. This was the first time such a great event was organized in my countryside; thus, we were all excited. Unfortunately, in the turbulent crowd, my father’s bag of money was picked up. Since this time, I have decided not to participate in any live events.

Traffic jam is the most serious problem in my country and that prevents me from participating in any live events. In some big cities like Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh city, traffic jams happen day by day and this situation will immediately increase when these cities organize festivals or sporting events. Nowadays, traffic accidents become the serious concern to all people and we like to stay at home as much as possible. Additionally, noise and exhaust fumes on a road make us nervous and tired.

In conclusion, with all these reasons above, I affirm that I prefer to watch performances on TV than to watch the same live events because it is more economic and safer.
