UNIVERSITIES SHOULD GIVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THEIR STUDENTS’ SPORTS ACTIVITIES AS THEY GIVE TO THEIR UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE STATEMENT ABOVE.
I really encourage the way universities give great amount of money for students to attend sports activities. Throughout centuries, reading has been close to students. Book is always considered to be the top useful materials for students’ body and mind. However, nowadays people begin to realize the importance of sports, and sports have become an essential part in people’s life.
First of all, sports give people relaxation as much as books do. The most primitive goal that people go to library is to organize their thoughts and have a bit of relax during their busy school days. Stories can calm people down, but doing sports is a better idea. After a long run, your sweat and exhausting body actually throw out all you stress. Furthermore, sports also give lifelong knowledge to students. In the old days, sportsmen were regarded as unwise. They were thought to be paper tigers that only have strong muscles and were jeered by those so-called aristocrats. However the truth is that doing sports add lots of trials to us. A simple track and field practice builds up people’s perseverance and determination. In a single tennis match, you have to handle the game for several hours, only by yourself. Even the most ordinary sport, soccer, requires extraordinary teamwork. Comparing these credits with the intangible effects that reading gives you, sports seem to be a lot more realistic and practical.
In this brand new world full of globalization, we prefer all stars rather than hard-working bookworms. Books are very important, but they belong to a world where everyone seeks to be the same, to be common and to be accepted. Sports, on the other hand, are for people in the generation full of inventiveness and creativeness. Our wills are unconsciously influenced by the power of sports. Sports deserve to be supported as much as libraries in the universities.
