一步一步搞定雅思寫作（70）之運動員

20180316

Some countries spend a lot of money preparing competitors to take part in major competitions such as Olympic Games or football World Cup. Some people say that it would be better to spend this money encouraging children to take up for sports from a young age. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

這次考題比較簡單，問政府的錢應該怎麼花的問題~

Brainstorming部分，支持給運動員的理由：

1. 運動員可能更好的提高成績，在比賽中拿第一，提高人民的國家榮譽感

支持給小孩：

1. 讓小孩多鍛煉，增強體質
2. 讓小孩懂得團隊合作的重要性

正文部分：

Some people argue that, compared to spending money on professional athletes, spending money on encouraging children to participate in sports is a better choice, and I also agree with this opinion.

Admittedly, allocating money to athletes can help countries strengthen the cohesiveness. Since athletes have more money to purchase facilitates for training, they are more likely to perform better in international competitions like the Olympic Games. If they really win a gold medal, a sense of pride among citizens will be enhanced, and both athletes and ordinary citizens will be proud of being a part of their countries. Nevertheless, children can benefit more if funding is used for them.

To begin with, encourage children to do sports can help them keep healthy. It is acknowledged that many children are prone to obesity currently because they probably spend too much time watching TV programs or playing computer games, and as a result, little time is left for sports. If more local sports competitions were held, children would be more likely to find their interest in and even actively participate in some sports. Then, obesity may not be a so common issue for children.

In addition, children can have a stronger sense of teamwork if they do sports at an early age. Teamwork is crucial when one wants to live or work in society, but some people may find it difficult to socialize with strangers. If people can do some team sports, such as football or basketball, at an early age, they can realize the importance of cooperation earlier. When they grow up, they will be more accustomed to working with others harmoniously.

To sum up, considering that sports allow children to keep healthy and learn how to cooperate, spending money on children is an better choice than spending money on professional athletes.
