It is evident that in our society, the role
of parents has a tremendous importance. Some people think that good parents
should spend most of their time helping their children's school work while
others do not. I however, believe that it is better for children when their
parents spend their time playing game or sports with them. There are several
reasons to support my argument. So, I will limit to the two the most relevant
to the topic: the concept of relationship and health.
First
of all, the most important reason for my thinking this way is that parents can
teach their children how to make a relationship with others by playing games or
sports together. Commonly in society, a person who haㄴ
a good relationship with others tends to succeed in life. Playing games or
sports usually involves activities of making relationship with others, so it
should be encouraged. Take my friend, Ki-sub, for example. His father, who is a
big fan of tennis, spend his most of time teaching tennis to Ki-sub and playing
with him. Now, thanks to his father, he have many different kinds of friends
and acquaintances because he participated in a tennis club in the village as a
vice president of the club. The relationship in the club led him to easily
obtain his parttime job, because one of acquaintances in the tennis club
suggested Ki-sub to work with him. If Ki-sub's father had not played tennis
with him, Ki-sub would not have been able to get the parttime job that easily.
Another
reason why I think this way is that playing games or sports help children to be
healthy. In particular, outside sports such as running or tennis are good for
health. I believe that health is the most important value for children because
without healthy body, children cannot do anything. I believe that parents
should play an important role for children to learn at least one sport as their
hobby. Many doctors say that children who do not exercise tend to obtain an
obesity and illness. This reminds me of the time when I worked out with my
father after I took my Korean SAT (national university entrance exam). He just
wanted me to go to the gym where I worked out, so I just followed him and we
worked out together. I made my healthy and I could gain some of my muscles.
Without my father's suggestion, I could not have gained such muscles.
In
conclusion, I believe that parents need to invest their time for playing games
or sports with their children for reasons such as relationship and health. All
things considered, with the reasons mentioned above, I believe that I have
sufficiently and adequately explained my position on the matters regarding the
topic.
