▶ Your Answer :
Undoubtedly, it
is controversial that at universities and colleges whether sports and social
activities are just as important as classes and libraries and should receive
equal financial support or not. It is clear that both of them have advantages. But
if I have to stand on only one position, I will support the statement that
activities are important for following reasons.
First, it can help
for students to have more chances to get a job which is suitable for them. Of course
the main part of students is the study. That is the reason they entered the school.
But after they graduate the school they should find their jobs to earn money.
So while they are studying, they have to find the field that they are good at. But
there is limitation by just doing studying in the class because if they just
learn academical things in a classroom they do not know about what has happened
in the real field. So they do not know what companies really want. In addition to
this, companies also do not know applicants who have good ability in the work. If
they hire untrained workers, they have to educate them so they have to invest more
time and money for them. But if they hire skillful applicants, they do not have
to do this or at least reduce this. So many applicants have tried to participate
in contest exhibits. Applicants can express their ideas through the contest and
if the idea is good the company can hire him directly as a special case or even
they can get a lot of rewarding money from the contest. So not only applicants
can experience the field in advance but also they can show their talents to
the company. It can be good for both the company and applicants. For instance, one
of my friends took part in the Seoul Architecture contest and won the prize and got hired in LH which is the public construction company. So he could not only get
a job but also earn money. Thus, these kinds of social activities are one of
the good ways for having a job. (건축 컨테스트는 여기서 말하는 social and sports activities와는 거리가 멉니다. social activity: 봉사활동 등, sports activities: 말 그대로 스포츠 팀. 따라서 맞지 않는 예시라고 할 수 있씁니다)
Second, social activities
and sports can release students’ stress and increase creativeness. Many of students in the college or universities are sick of studying and worrying about
finding a job. So they can easily get overly stressed and depressed. If all of the
students just concentrate on studying, they will lose chances to do physical activities.
Actually, there are many benefits in activities. We can be healthier by exercising, because when we work out, morphine can be released in our brain so
we feel good then we can prevent some mental diseases. And some brain researchers
insist that we can be more creative by doing exercise. The more we do exercise,
the more synapse which is the connection between neurons increases. So we can
get smart brain. For theses reasons, we have lots of advantages by doing exercise.
Thus, schools should encourage students to take part in various activities and
give them financial supports.
I agree many
students are so busy because they have to study to have a job. But at the
same time it is the time they can have do diverse things and learn from them.
So they have to also participate in other activities so that they can have balanced
abilities. Eventually some time later the various experience will help them to
get a job or be promoted quickly in the company. So school should give them financial
supports as investment.
