Some people believe that children should be encouraged to go in for sports.

We all know that, sport is one of those things that make our lives really worth living. In one way or another, everyone is involved in sports, play or watch it, whether they just know someone who does either. Although a lot of people seem to be interested in sports, not all of them consider it is useful.

On the one hand, we must admit that sport takes a lot of energy and time and it can be really exhausting. Sportsmen train all day long and have to follow a diet, which does more harm than good. Besides, some sports such as snowboarding or rock climbing can be rather dangerous. As a result, people often have serious injuries. Moreover, sport makes you unhappy when you lose, which can lead to psychological problems. However, a lot of children say they have neither time nor opportunity to go in for sports. What is more, they feel too tired after school.

On the other hand, sport helps us to keep fit and to stay healthy. Among the benefits of regular exercise are a healthier heart, weight control and less susceptibility to illnesses. In addition, sport helps us to overcome difficulties and gives a chance to acquire self-confidence. What is more, sport makes us more organized and better disciplined in our daily activities. It is also a good way to spend free time and to make friends.

In conclusion, I would like to express my opinion on this problem. I think that sport is very important for people's health and children should be encouraged to go in for sports, because sport helps us to be in good shape, to become strong and to stay healthy and attractive.
