1.Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Children should play sports only for fun, and should not attend competitions and contests.

Many children like playing sports such as football, basketball, etc. With attending, not only can they decorate their extracurricular life but also can build a strong body in the grown-up period. Children’s attentions always inject much fresh energy into the sport itself, which are totally different from the attentions for achievement, prize, etc in the adult world. As far as I am concerned, we should maintain a pure space for children where they can come for no other complex purposes but for pleasure.

To begin with,  it is the children’ matter to decide whether they take part in a sport or which sports they prefer. The fun kids get from these activities will help them persist in a long run instead of just being hooked for a couple of days. I do not believe that children themselves will have this thought that they must get the first place without any other choices from the young age.All the similar opinions such as beating others, winning the final prize are injected by other people around. In this way, the original pleasure owned by children may gradually be replaced by the relentless pursuit of achievement. Children’s love on the sports probably fades in the end.

However, the negative influences which may bring as the result of attending competitions and contests do not mean that children should be excluded. The key point lies in their purpose when deciding to attend. Only if children choose to take sports based on their real interests other than competing and when they lose in the contests, they can keep an optimistic and positive attitude as well, children should also be encouraged to attend these activities. After all, in the competitions or contests, they can feel different and get unique experience.

Actually, there are many children who cannot control themselves when taking a contest. For example, children are compelled by their parents to take part in some sports competitions and are asked to win victory. Parents always promise that the children will get their dream presents if only they get the first place. So these behaviors from external world add much extra pressure to the children and make them worry about failure a lot. Some children even get ill because of that. In this case, in order to make children keep a healthy attitude towards the competition and contests,  the whole society is supposed to decrease their improper expectation and requirement to children and attenuate its utility.

To sum up, children should do sports for fun. They can be encouraged to attend competitions and contests, however, their purpose should keep pure or far away from the utility. We expect our young generation can pursue interests of themselves and grow up healthily.
