▶ Your Answer :
There are lots of properties for a university to spend
money on. Some people say that a university should spend the largest amount of money
on libraries. In my opinion, however, a university should spend as much money
on sports as they do on libraries. This is mainly because sports help to keep oneself
healthy and are advantageous on students’ future career.
First of all, sports help
to keep oneself healthy. This attributable to the fact that, when people play sports
they exercise a lot, and exercising makes our body to alleviate stresses. Stress
is very harmful to our body since it can weaken our immune system and make our
body more susceptible to various cardiovascular, digestive, and psychiatric disorders.
A recent study conducted by a research group at Korea Medical University revealed
that exercising on regular basis can reduce a person’s stress. To be specific, the
group of people who exercise on regular basis showed lower number of stressed
nerve cells than that of people who do not exercise on regular basis. This indicates
that playing sports will be a sure way to relieve one’s stress.
Secondly, enjoying sports plays an important role
in getting a job. This is due to the fact that a majority of sports are played
in teams. While playing sports with others in teams, people can enhance their social
and communications skills. That is, as we live in a highly specialized society,
today’s companies are looking for employees with such abilities. For example, my
uncle, who works as a personnel manager in Samsung Electronics, always asserts that
numerous job seekers consider their academic performances or GPA the most important
factor in job interviews. However, interviewers look for applicants possessing
social communication skills in a job interview. This illustrates that increasing
one’s social and communication skills by playing sports will others will help a
person getting a job.
In summary, sports make people to exercise and enhance
a person’s social and communication skills. It is certain that exercising reduces
a person’s stress, and a person’s enhanced social skills will bring a higher
potential of getting hired. For these reasons, I believe a university should spend
as much money on libraries on sports as well.
