A lot of
people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专业人员). If sports aren't going to be
your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why
should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛) the next day?
Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?
There are
actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great
way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you
stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽). Endorphins give you more
energy and make you feel happier.
Sports are
important to everyone, but they are especially important to young people. They
teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how
to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you
must learn how to communicate and work together with your teammates. Sports
teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight
against as well.
Many
reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young
person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because
sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they
work hard, they might succeed.
Another
good reason of doing sports is that they make people leave their houses. These
days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video
games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take
in fresh air. All of these things are important.
You're
probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter.
Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you
make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports:
sports are fun.
