NALYSIS
Opening paragraph
(1) This opening sentence addresses the topic by noting the growth in
what the writer calls ‘the sports industry’. It supplies a context in
which to discuss the topic as set.
(2) Sentences two, three and four develop that point and give specific
examples of how that growth has been aided by television, the
advertising industry and the governing bodies of sport themselves.
(3) The last sentence of the paragraph makes an assertion about
obsessive watchers of sport and brings the essay back to the central
point of the topic. It also serves as a summarising sentence for the
paragraph.
