▶ Your Answer :
A few years ago, a university in Korea opened its new innovative library which boosted the high quality of technological equipment available to help their students find information quicker faster and better. It is the latest trend for universities to compete to build a better library. On the other hand, the number of sports clubs near college campuses has increased as students are concerned over about their health. In my opinion, universities should invest money in athletic departments as they do for libraries, because students need exercise while focusing on their studies and university sports teams are becoming representative of the college.
To begin with, I firmly believe that more sports facilities on campus would allow for chances to students to exercise properly, and at a cheaper price than using private fitness centers. Studies have shown that a college student usually expects fancy school facilities to use such as cafeteria, gyms, student hall when he or she enters college. A library has always been number one priority, but it is evident that schools should take responsibility for students' health and diet, too. That's why gyms and cafeteria exist. Students would have spent a huge amount of pocket money to stay healthy by utilizing the equipment that sports clubs offer. Additionally, most sports facilities on campus have been inconvenient. Schools should consider that providing students with a healthy environment helps them study harder. Also, investing in athletic departments widens the doors for cheaper use of sports facilities.
Secondly, university sports teams not only need support from schools, but also serve them as the 'icon' of colleges because university teams are so popular over the country. The teams sell the image of passion, enthusiasm, generosity, kindness and so on. When high school students and their parents notice a wonderful player with a college name on his back, they can get the idea that the school needs passionate individuals like the sports star. Almost all the students who attend the college want their team to win over, which makes them feel happy during their time in college. Athletic departments funding ensures players to go forward hoping that they come out with good results. With the mixture of expectations and positive outlook on college sports players, universities need to support athletic departments financially if they wish to make good use of the image of the successful sports teams for advertising.
In conclusion, university athletic departments are as crucial as libraries in terms of backing up students' life on campus; one is for the academic purpose and the other is for a healthy body for them to keep studying. Moreover, college sports teams have a reason to win: to attract more students to their colleges. What if there are no nice gyms and sport facilities on campus but only great libraries? There will be week weak students with weak college sports players, which will bring a negative effects on a college itself.
내용은 상당히 좋습니다. 하지만 좀 더 정리해주세요. 일단 글이 너무 길기 때문에 집중하기 어렵습니다. 핵심만 집어서 적어주세요. 이 글에는 없지만 쓸데없는 부연 설명들은 글을 망치기도 합니다.
