What We Want from Sports
What We Want from Sports Students in our school have one thing in common—an interest in sports. According to their different intentions in taking part in sports, they fall into three groups. Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study. These students put much more stress on their study efficiency than the fun of sports. They just want to go back to the classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind. Thus they don’t actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on the playground. Most of them choose long- distance running, the kind of exercise which few real sports enthusiasts like. So this group of students can be well labeled as study-oriented participants. Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers. Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a match. They take part in the sport that interests them most, not caring whether it is most beneficial to their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants. The third group of students want beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong; girls want to be slim and graceful. Those who consider sport the only way of reducing weight also belong to this group. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do, and are afraid that certain sports may ruin their figures. Horizontal bars and parallel bars are the boys’ choice, and the hula hoop is now the girls’ favorite. The appropriate name for this group may be beauty-oriented sports participants. No matter which group we belong to, we all benefit from sports. If you look around the campus, you will find that bookworms have disappeared, and, instead, there are healthy, strong, clever, modernized students everywhere.
