3.13 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should only play sports for fun, not in competition or contests.
第一次修改
Last week, one of my neighbors, Wang Jie, a fourteen years old boy, hurt his leg in a school basketball game. As a result, his parents decided to constrain him from participating in any sports contests from then on. I was astonished on hearing of their decision, since I believe it is inadvisable to prevent children from participating in sports contests.
Admittedly, children are more likely to hurt themselves by playing sports in contests than just for fun,due to the fact that under the pressure from a contest,both inside and outside,children would try their best to win the game,sometimes without paying attention to their security,as it did in the case of my neighbor, Wang Jie.
However, the considerable benefits children can enjoy by taking part in sports contests cannot be denied. First of all, playing sports contests frequently could familiarize children with the competitive atmosphere and how to adapt to it. The more often children participate in sports contests, the more calmly they would face challenges in their future lives,as our society is just like a huge sports ground with numerous fierce competitions showing on it every day.
In addition, only in public contests can children’s sports talents be noted. Without doubt, our society abounds with such examples. Liu Xiang, the most famous athlete in China, is a good case in point. Just in a high school sports meet, his talent in running was noticed by his current coach, and thus he entered the national sports team and won a gold medal in the 28th Olympic games eventually.
Last but not least, children could also develop their sense of responsibility and team spirit , two key factors to their achievements in their future career, through participating in some team sports contests. However, in a game just for fun, children may not care much about these.
From the discussion above, I can safely draw the conclusion that undeniable though the possibility of hurt playing sports in competitions may cause is, it pays for children to do that frequently, if the considerable benefits it could bring are taken into consideration. |
