Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Universities should give the same amount of money to their students


sports activities as they give to their university libraries.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinions.
I totally agree with the statement that universities should spend the
same amount of money to their students sports activities as they
give to their university libraries. For sports activities bring about
various positive effects on students.
First, students can learn how to build the sense of cohesion and
friendship, and cooperate with their fellows to achieve their shared
goals. Many sports require us to play together such as soccer,
baseball and basketball. Through everyday practice and regular
competitions, players can learn how important the mutual
cooperation is, and acquire the skills of gaining credibility from their
fellows. This is of crucial importance for us to live in our society where
concerted cooperation is required for each of us based on mutual
partnerships. The experiences gained from sports activities will
function as the foundations for students future lives and lead to wellbeing of them.
Second, sports activities will lead to good health of students. Some
say that students should focus only on study and research but this
doesnt make any sense because concentrating on study is impossible
without keeping in good conditions. First priority should be given to
their health because it is the most basic requirement for engagement
in other activities such as study, work and housework.
Sports can play a significant role in this field because it helps students
relieve stress and fatigue accumulated through study. In short,
engaging in sports activities is both mentally and physically
beneficial.
Third, sports activities facilitate students study because they keep or
even increase motivation of students towards study. In my opinion,
doing sports and studying are inter-related. For instance, if students
only keep studying, eventually they will feel bored of it and
subsequently it will deprive students of motivation for any activities.
However, if students can spare time for sports activities for their
pastime, they can forget about toughness of study and feel refreshed.
Then, they can get back to study with freshness and high motivation.
It will also amplify their study efficiency, which in the end, contributes
to higher marks on tests.
From those reasons, I find sports activities quite beneficial for
students and sufficient investment in them really necessary.
