　　Nowadays, the incomes of many sports stars are truly astounding. Some people claim that the salaries of athletes are too high and the athletes themselves attract too much public attention. Yet, in my opinion, such benefits are well deserved.

　　First, sport is an important part of modern life as well as a commercialized part of modern society. In ancient times, people engaged in sports because they wanted good health. But nowadays, the addiction of millions of fans to sports results in a tremendous amount of business profits. Therefore, it is indisputable that athletes make a great contribution to modern society.

　　Second, people tend to focus on the huge amounts of money made by athletes. They rarely appreciate the efforts that the athletes have to make in order to become prize-winners. In order to win the first prize in a 100-metre race, an athlete has to cover hundreds of miles during training. They deserve their high salaries because they sacrifice so much.

　　Last but not least, sport is a symbol of peace and fairness, and athletes play very important roles in international affairs as goodwill ambassadors. They not only entertain people but also take the message of peace all over the-world. It is not unreasonable that athletes are always in the spotlight.

　　All in all, I would say that athletes are essential for promoting the peace and development of the world. People should pay more attention to the development of sports and be more supportive of the efforts of athletes.
