0011 (AD) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students’ sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. |
Study, study, and study! I know that so many students are sick of hearing their parents’ yelling and urging them to study hard. Sure, studying hard is the most important thing that a student should do. However, we should know this. The students are not only students, but also social people, who need cooperation, relief of stress, and communication with other people other than only studying. For this reason, I strongly insist that the university should support students’ sports activities because sports can help students become more social people. Above of all, sports require people to be considerate for other people. Since cooperation is one of the most important elements in sports, the students can be more cooperative each other. Unfortunately, the society is getting severely competitive as the capitalism gets pervasive in the society. So, people are becoming more egocentric without considering other people. Sports can solve this problem. My personal story of school Olympic a few years ago supports my argument. Since the students in my school were especially competitive for good grades, students used to feel that the students are too individualistic. So students got mentally tired. However, school Olympic changed this gloomy atmosphere. I participated in the soccer tournament, and made a lot of friends there. So, my friends and I started share ideas and feelings and started to feel better. Not only severe individualism, but also stress from hard studying can be relieved through sports activities, too. As mentioned before, the society is becoming more capitalism and it is getting more difficult for students to find jobs. Different from students in 80’s or 90’s, students are spending so much time in library for studying. Fortunately, sports can play great role here because sports can help students to relieve their stress from studying. For instance, I started to play basketball when I was in college. Even though I first thought playing sports might be wasting of time, it was so helpful to me because it relieved my stress from studying and even energized me. Thanks to sports, I could stay more focused when studying, and consequently my grades rose dramatically. *In addition to these advantages, sports have another good quality. That is, sports can provide a great opportunity to communicate with students in other universities. Since students are used to staying near their schools, they are spending most of their time around their schools’ campuses. So, it is extremely difficult to meet with students from other schools. Sports can play a role as a bridge from a school to another. My personal experience supports this argument. I used to play soccer with my friends in my school. Once, my soccer team in my school was invited to another school and we had a soccer match. Thanks to this soccer match, I could meet many friends in other schools, and we could share useful information of activities such as student business competition and studying abroad programs. If it were not for soccer, I would never have heard of those great activities. Like mentioned above, the society is getting more competitive. And this tendency is causing students to be too individual and get stressed out because of studying. Of course, it is so important to study hard to get a good job. However, it is also important to have a good relationship, stay mentally healthy, and communicate with various people. Sports can play a great role in this. Therefore, I persist that the universities should invest for sports activities.
