Thanks a lot!
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Playing sports teaches people more lessons about the life.
People are always involved in all kinds of sports, which is not only because of having fun, but also because of something gained from playing sports. I do agree that playing sports teaches people more lessons about life. When playing sports, people can learn more and benefit from it in the future.
Playing sports needs people to practice. It is always very hard for people to play sports well, so some people may give up when he or she realizes that. A friend of mine used to play football because of fun, but he could persist when he found that playing football needs a lot of difficult skills and one could not grasp it without practicing very often. He thought it is so hard for him to carry on and finally gave up. Thus, playing sports needs a lot more than just interest. People can learn the spirit of persistance when playing sports.
In addition, people learn how to perform in teamwork when playing the sports and learn the importance of teamwork as well. Take basketball as an example. When playing basketball, people are divided into two groups to compete against each other. So it is so vital that a group has to play well to win, that is, not only one of the group has to play well, but the whole group. Everyone serves the group and each has their own responsibility. Only if they performed excellent teamwork, can they finally win the game. Thus, when playing sports, people can learn how to do well in teamwork.
The most important point is that people can learn to face failure when playing sports, Sometimes they win and sometimes they fail, so it is natural to deal with the failure in the sport. That attitude is the same when people are faced with difficulties in life. People can learn how to be optimistic when they confront difficult situations, and always have a confidence.
In all, playing sports cannot only build up one's body and give people a lot of fun, but can help people learn more lessons about life. ................................................................................................................................ Not bad Gracie.
