Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sports teach people lessons about life.
These days, people in increasing numbers are doing sports frequently in order to ensure their fitness. However, what is more, sports not only have great benefits on our health, but also teach us lessons about life, which has been widely accepted.
In this passage, I will take myself for example to illustrate this opinion.
First of all, I have learned am important lesson from my swimming class that never give up and the final success will come right after the last try. I still remember when I was just starting to learning swimming, which was really a very tough time for me. I didn’t dare to stay into the swimming pool even with my teacher’s help. All the other students called me “daring girl”, which made me more unconfiendent with myself. But my teacher encouraged me a lot. As a consequence, I was determined to exert a big challenge on myself and forced myself to swim without the teacher’s asstitance. Then I couldn’t belive now that I managed to swim all by myself.
In addition, I learned to make friends with others, which was impossible for me before I started to play basketball. As a weak girl, I was too shy to talk with strangers and other students, and my father suggested me to play basketball with my neighbour fellows. During the match, we must learn to coorperate with other team members so as to win the game. At the beginning, I never communicated with other players until we was beated by a certain weak team. It was a completely unbelievable experience for me that I could not help telling other members to hold together, which was the first step for me to talk to others. Consequently, I was elected head of our team, and ever since I became a very open-minded girl.
What is more, I learned to help others as well. When it comes to basketball, it is not difficult for us to think about injury, which happens to one of my partner on our team. That is an accident. When Mary wanted to take the ball from the other team in a fierce match, she got seriously injured. At that time, I took her to the school hospital quickly with other members and many of us even cried for Mary’s pain. After that match, I told myself to help others whenever they need help, which I couldn’t do before as a self-centre girl.
From what was discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that sports teach people lessons about life. In fact, it happens to everyone who are fond of sports. My friends and I ofter have a conversation on sports and all of us are convinced that we learn not only sports skills but also life lessons from them. |
