▶ Your Answer :
Some people argue that it is a waste of time to attend a live performance and think that watching or listening indirectly is better. However, in my opinion, participating in a performance on the spot is far better. My view can be substantiated by the reasons addressed below.
First and foremost, attedning a live performance gives not-comparable experiecne and indelible memory. In other word, nothing is better than going to a play, concert, or sporting game directly when it comes to fully experiencing the event. For instance, when I was a middle school student, I had to decide whether I should go to a stadium to watch a soccer match between Korea and Japan. Many friends insisted that considering cost and time, it would be better to watch the match at home. However, I thought differently that there would be something special that could not be got just through watching TV. Consequently, I went to the playground alone even though it cost lots of money. The result turned out that I was right. At the stadium, I really enjoyed extremely chanting circumstance I had never experienced and it helped me relieve my stress. Also, I could make new friends who enjoyed the match together, feeling bondness. If I had stayed at home, I could not have made new friends and made stress go away.
Second, attending a live performance helps study hard, too. To put it in another way, enjoying real event on the spot can improve learning ablitiy of students. According to a study conducted by Yale Psychology Center, the youth who attend a live performance more are likely to be emotionally stable and it leads them to develop the learning skills, such as concentration capacity. Especially, attending a live concert plays a role as a strong motivation to students. That is, students become sefl-motivated. For instance, they promise themselves, "I will be able to get an approval to go to the concert if I can get good scores at the exam." By doing so, young people wiill not only study harder, but also get a better result at the exam. In this regard, the way that parents usually do not permit their children to attend a live concert is wrong in that participating in the live performance is a excellent method to motivate student to study. It is a wisdom of 'two birds with one stone,' because the youth can study harder as well as go enjoying concert.
All things considered, I firmly think that it is really good attend a live performance. It provides priceless experience which cannot be offered through watching TV or listeing to radio. In addition, attending a live performance is a nice option academically, as it will help the youth emtionally stable and make them motivated to achieve better at the exam. Therefore, the advantages of going to a concert, sport event, and play far-outweight the disadvantages. |
