Sports and social activities are just as important as classes and libraries. Do you agree or disagree: Sports and social activities are just as important as classes and libraries and should receive equal financial support. Nowadays, since some universities and colleges get more subsides from the government, someone argues that universities and colleges should spend more money supporting sports and social activities since they are as important as classes and libraries. Personally, I agree. Firstly, sports and social activities are beneficial to a student's health, personality and study. Sports can help students build up healthier bodies and develop their persistence, which are fundamental to study efficiently and effectively. Meanwhile, social activities are good ways to help students develop team spirit and bond with others, so students are more likely to perform socially and work with others in a group. My friend, Jerry, is a good example. He is the leader of basketball team in our university. After study for two to three hours in the morning, he usually goes out and does some exercises to refresh his mind, going back to study with a higher efficiency. At weekends' nights, he usually goes to some reading groups, meeting new friends and chatting with others about books he read. His ability of communicating with others helps him make a lot of new friends and widen his knowledge. If Jerry did not play basketball nor enjoy some social activities, he might not be as healthy and easy-going as he is now. Thus he would probably not do that well in study and his extracurricular life. Secondly, sports and social activities should receive more financial support. In the first place, students will have better sports equipments, larger gym to work out, and better place to hold social activities. Under these conditions, students are not the only beneficial owner. All these advanced facilities will make the school more appealing, being attractive to more students to apply for. So in this way, the school will have more excellent students and higher social reputation. In the second place, if the university or college is willing to spend more money on sports, the school will be able to hire better coaches and build up a more competitive school sports team. The team is more likely to perform well in games, doing advertisements for the school and attracting more sponsors to donate money to the school. Instead of spending money on sports, actually the school is gaining money from it. All in all, I agree.
