| << It appears that it is important for young children to spend great amount of their time on practicing sports, though this has both advantage and disadvantage. Although some say that children should not spend most of their time on sports because they need to spend their time on study and artistic things, this is overridden by the advantage of it. That is, children should spend much time on sports that can help to improve physical and mental strength and to have more opportunities to interact others. The first advantage that leads to a consideration that children should spend a great amount of time on practicing sports is that this can contribute to improvements in their physical and mental strength. If children practice some sports hard, it is more likely that children can grow to be more healthy and stronger. This can also increase the resistance against some disease. Moreover, they can develop their skills in sporting activities, because it is easier for them to learn them when they are young in comparison to when they get older. Apart from this, mental strength can also be improved though practicing sports, for children or even adults so this, they usually have to practice hard and keep going even if the exercise is hard and exhausting on the purpose of improving their skills or win competitions. To sum up, it is preferable for children to spend most of their time on sport practicing. Another advantage of spending most of time on practicing sports is that children are given more opportunities to communicate with other children. When they practice sports, it is usually at spots clubs or schools in form of classes or teams. In these occasions, it is possible for them to have time to interact with others outside schools and neighbourhood. This seems to help them to grow sound communication skills with others, with given increased interaction with others. Moreover, it is more likely that the members of the sports classes or teams share common goals to improve their skills or win the games. Hence, the children can talk to and encourage each other, and hopefully make some best friends who they can trust. In short, practicing sports have advantage that it can help children to improve their communication skills and make good friends. Some disadvantages in spending a great deal of time on practicing sports in terms of necessity of children to do some other activities cannot be also denied. It is also important for them to engage something that relates to arts and academic studies, for young children tend to learn things very effectively. For instance if children read a number of good novels, they will improve their creativity as well as knowledge about their society, as the books can reflect the real world in terms of how the society works and such. Moreover, by reading novels, they may be able to improve their skills to read atmosphere and to read others mind. If people do this when they are children, they can more easily obtain these knowledge and skills, which are extremely useful in later lives. Therefore some may say that young children should spend their time on some other thing such as reading novels, rather than spending a great amount of time on sports. However, this argument is overweighed by the advantages, because children can do other things than sports even if they spend their time on practicing sports. This is because practicing sports seems to enables them to learn to concentrate highly on what they are doing, which makes it possible for them to study and do other things effectively in short time. Thus, children can do other things, even if they practice sports hard. It has been discussed that it has both advantage and disadvantage that children send much time on practicing sports. The advantage is that children can improve themselves in terms of physical and mental strength, and that have more chance to communicate with other children outside the schools and neighbourhoods. The disadvantage, on the other hand is that children may not spend enough time on other activities. Advantages are seems to be important than disadvantages because children still can do other things rather than sports even when they spend great amount of time on sports. |
