There is a wide discussion nowadays on the issue that sports and social activities are the same importance of the classes and libraries and should receive equal financial support at colleges. As far as I am concerned, I definitely agree with the statement that sports and social activities should be provided with at least equal financial support with classes and libraries. To begin with, an increasing number of people need outlets, like sports, to relieve themselves from the stress of daily life. When seeking stress relievers, a large number of people turn to sports for both entertainment and relaxation. For example, my family frequently attends sport events, such as sport exhibition, basketball match and so on, most of which are public-funded. Appreciating playing basketball really helps me get relieved of stress from my studies. Without the help of government, my family would be deprived of the wonderful sport opportunity, and I would lose some very valuable stress relievers now. Furthermore, the majority of students not only need to get a excellent grade, but also build all kinds of abilities by taking part in social activities. In addition, the companies are likely to choose the person who have a talent for sport and activities so that these abilities are extremely important for their future. For instance, my brother has been of great grade at college, and he almost spent all of his free time in staying in the library. Therefore, he had little time to participate clubs and activities. Unfortunately, when he graduated from university, it was so difficult for him to find a satisfactory job that he had to prepare for further education and started paying much attention to activities. On the contrary, his roommate, one of his best friends, studied hard enough, but simultaneously took part in the outdoor activities as possible as he could. Gradually, he had a better communicative ability than before, when he was interviewed, he behaved very well. Ultimately, he got the offer that a world famous company provided. In summary, from what I have mentioned above, it is natural to draw up the conclusion that sport and activities should be attached equal importance to by college, compared to the class and libraries because it can relieve students’ stress and be good for student’ future. |
