In this society, many parents argue that spending time to practice sports is a waste of time. They think spending time for studying is more reasonable appropriate for students. However, I believe that these parents are totally misunderstanding about the sports. Sports make students healthy and have a social life.
To begin, playing sports is the best way for students to have a healthy life. Nowadays, many students are having sedentary lives because of the tests and homework that they are given by teachers everyday. So they don't have a chance to have any activities that would make them healthy. However, Health is the most important issue for the students. If they lose health, they lose everything.
From my personal experience, I have used to play a soccer when I was in middle school. at that time, I was very healthy and active student. but things changed when i got into high school. I had tons of work to do and didn't have a time to play a soccer. Needless to say, I was getting weak and because of that, I couldn't even concentrate in school. So from 2nd semester I started play a soccer as my doctor told me to. So I was able to recover my health and be active person in school.
Moreover, many team sports require a team cooperation. The players should play a game with a same purpose. They should pass the ball to other players without a selfishness. It is a very good way to practice their social life for the future. In this competition society, people need to learn how to cooperate and interact with others. For instance, I have a friend who was very shy in school. he didn't want to talk to anyone in the class. But once he started play basketball by suggestion of his mom, he changed to completely different person. He made lots of friends and was able to work together with others. He mentioned that playing sports was a turning point in his school life.
In short, spending time to practice sports brings students a benefit of health and social school life.
People who misunderstand about the purpose of playing sports should relize how important it is for students to have an outside activities to grow mentally and physically. |
