    At universities and colleges, sports and social activities are just as important as classes and libraries and should receive equal financial support. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    As people increasingly consider education as an essential part of life, where education budgets are supposed to be devoted to raise a storm of discussion. Some people hold that the money should be invested in class and library. While others believe that an equal amount fund should be given into sports and social events. From my perspective, I firmly agree with the later statement.

    First of all, playing sports make a person healthy and energetic to face future obstacles. As is known to us all that more students wear glasses and face computer screens for a long time. As a result, they probably suffer from eye problems and other physical diseases. The best methods to solve the issue is to encourage them to participate more sports activities.

    Furthermore, playing a ball game such as soccer and basketball together could benefit students in promoting teamwork spirits. Playing game with others will cultivate a way to solve problems in collaboration and achieve their common goal. Besides, social activities can help foster capabilities that students cannot gain during classes. Though being smart and diligent, some students are called pedants because they cannot exchange ideas with others freely. Only if a person is equipped with knowledge and is capable of expressing it can he become competent in future career path.

    Admittedly, the places provided for sports and social activities are in need of money. It is common that the school will spend a lot to purchase updated books and teaching facilities. However, finding a suitable place to play sports or hold social activities is always hard. Taking my school as an example, if I want to read a book, I can easily find a seat in the library. But if I want to exercise for half a while, the crowded gym will let me down. Then, demand for the same amount of financial support to ameliorate the condition is reasonable.

    In a nutshell, equal financial support should be contributed to sports and social activities, for they help with strengthening bodies, making progress in communication skills, and they are in the shortage of fund.

    Reasons for equal financial support between activities and the study

    As people increasingly consider education an essential part of life, education budgets are supposed to be devoted to raising a storm of discussion. Some people hold that university should invest money in class and library construction. Conversely, others believe that an equal amount funds should be put into sports and social events. From my perspective, I firmly agree with the later statement for the enormous benefits brought about by sports and social events.

    First of all, playing sports makes a person healthy and energetic to face future obstacles. As is known to us all, more students wear glasses and stay in front of the computer screens for a long time. As a result, they probably suffer from eye problems and other physical diseases. The best method to solve the issue is to encourage them to participate more sports activities.

    Furthermore, playing a ball game such as soccer and basketball with others could benefits students in promoting teamwork spirits. Playing team sports with others will cultivate a way to solve problems in collaboration and achieve their common goal. Besides, social activities can help foster capabilities that students cannot gain during classes. Though smart and diligent, some students are regarded as pedants because they cannot freely exchange ideas with others. A person equipped with the knowledge and doing well in expressing it can become competent in his/her future career path.

    Admittedly, the places provided for sports and social activities require money. It is common that the school tends to spend a lot to purchase updated books and teaching facilities. However, finding a suitable place to play sports or hold social activities is always hard. Taking my school as an example, if I want to read a book, I can easily find a library seat. But if I want to exercise for half a while, the crowded gym will let me down. Then, the demand for the same amount of financial support to ameliorate the condition is reasonable.
