　　Money for Sports Activities

　　A student’s education does not only consist of learning academic subjects. It is also important for students to develop other skills， such as teamwork， and healthy habits that will last them a lifetime. One way to do this is to encourage more participation in sports activities. Although it is important to provide adequate funding for academic services such as the school library， I believe it is important to fund sports activities equally.

　　A student’s primary education goal is to pursue knowledge. Therefore， the school library is very important. However， the resources that a library buys are long-lasting. In addition， students now have resources other than the school library to support their studies. For example， many have their own computers and access to the Internet. Sports activities， on the other hand， require some investment every year. Equipment wears out and needs to be replaced more often than library resources. Furthermore， a school that provides good athletic equipment for its students will find that they are more willing to participate in physical activities. Since these activities are also an important part of their education， the importance of good equipment cannot be ignored.

　　Ideally， a school should provide its students with a well- balanced education that helps them develop all of their skills. For this reason， it is important that schools do not ignore sports activities. Setting aside more money for these activities will help schools to develop better physical education programs and encourage more students to participate in them.

　　參考譯文

　　學(xué)生的教育不是只有各學(xué)科的學(xué)習(xí)。對學(xué)生而言，培養(yǎng)其他技能也是很重要的，例如團(tuán)隊合作以及可終身受益的健康習(xí)慣。達(dá)到此項(xiàng)目標(biāo)的方法之一是鼓勵學(xué)生多參加體育活動。雖然提供充足的經(jīng)費(fèi)資助學(xué)術(shù)性設(shè)施，如圖書館，

　　，是很重要的，但我認(rèn)為，資助體育活動也同樣重要。

　　學(xué)生受教育的主要目標(biāo)是追求知識，因此，學(xué)校圖書館非常重要。然而，圖書館所購買的資源是可以長期使用的。此外，現(xiàn)在學(xué)生除了學(xué)校圖書館之外，也有其他的資源可協(xié)助他們的學(xué)習(xí)。例如，許多學(xué)生都有自己的電腦，并且可以使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。而另一方面，體育活動則每年都需要一些經(jīng)費(fèi)投資。運(yùn)動器材會耗損，因此比圖書館的資源更需要經(jīng)常更換。此外，學(xué)校如果為學(xué)生提供良好的運(yùn)動器材，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)生會比較愿意參加體育活動。因?yàn)檫@些活動也是教育很重要的一部分，所以良好的運(yùn)動器材的重要性是不容忽視的。

　　理想的做法是，學(xué)校應(yīng)該提供學(xué)生非常均衡的教育，以幫助他們培養(yǎng)各項(xiàng)技能。基于這項(xiàng)理由，學(xué)校不能忽視體育活動，這一點(diǎn)是很重要的。撥出更多的經(jīng)費(fèi)資助這些活動，可以幫助學(xué)校發(fā)展更好的體育課程，并鼓勵更多學(xué)生參與。
