As the number of people
who are interested in children’s sports activities is increasingly every year
in today’s Korean society, it is worth discussing whether children should play
a sports game only for fun, and they should not play in a competition. In my
opinion, I think that children have to play only for fun. There are two reasons
for my opinion.
First of all, playing
sports game for fun helps elementary school students to alleviate stress. An
important reason is that these activities can relax and clear their mind by enjoying
the game with other friend. This aspect brings a fresh approach to perplexing
and stressful assignments at school. For example, ten years ago, when I was in
13 years old, back in California, I was extremely stressful and exhausted due
to excessive tests at history class. Therefore, I started to join soccer team.
Through participating the soccer club for fun, I can have brief moment of
relief from my stressful studies. And I was able to make more friends coming
from other school. If I had not joined the sports team without stress of
competition, I would have had a time of depression.
Also, joining the sports
game only for fun can increase students’ motivation.
This is mainly because
unlike running extremely for victory in the competition, enjoying sports only
for fun can be a facilitator, which motivates students to participate in school
sports team such as Ping-Pong, baseball and basketball game. With such
motivation, they will make a lot of efforts, concentrate more on their tasks,
and feel more responsible for what they do. Therefore this can bring about
better outcome. For example, my brother, teenage, used to be very negligent and
interest in his studies. However, three years ago, since he stated to join baseball
club, he has changed little by little. He has become more mature and
self-disciplined. The reason was that my brother felt a sense of achievement as
well as confidence through enjoying sports’ attraction. On top of that, he
began to spend more time on studying and to follow instructions at school. if
he had participate in sports team, he would still be irresponsible in all
aspects.
All things considered, I agree that children should
play a sports game only for fun, rather than playing games in a competition. |
