Do you agree or disagree with the following
statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students’
sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific
reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Some people believe
that universities should give more money for the sports activities. They claim
that importance of libraries and sports are the same. I can not completely
agree with this statement. In the following paragraphs I will give some basic
reasons why I think that way.
I am a former student
and I know all advantages that can be given by libraries. First for all, it is
the cheapest way to prepare for the incoming lecture, to do the homework, to
make a research and just to read some books. From my point of view, it is very
important to supply the libraries with the new books, magazines, journals and
newspaper. Second of all, libraries are the places where students can spend a
few hours reading between lectures if their schedule does not allow them to go
home. So, libraries must be light and
large enough, have comfortable chairs and tables. A third reason, why a good
library is so significant for a student, is that it is a free access to
computers and an Internet. If a student can not allow to buy himself a computer
or an access to the Internet he can use it there. I like libraries because it is a good place to meet and communicate
with each other, serf the Internet looking for the last news, read some books that
you do not want to buy and just relax to the accompaniment of the pages.
As for sports
activities, I think it must be up to a person. First of all, he or she goes to
a university to gain knowledge, not lose some weight or work out. Second of all, a student must
arrange his or her time in order to have time to exercise. However, I must say
that every university should have a few playing-fields, a pool and a fitness
center where students may have a rest after strained days.
One more reason to have
really good libraries is that it can save not only money but time for students.
A person has not to drive to the bookstore to get materials he or she is
looking for. So, a library can save time that then can be spent on a sport.
To summarize, I think
libraries must stay the main resource of knowledge. So, if a university has
some extra money they should be spent on the new books, new software and new
equipment for the libraries.
