Nowadays, more people are aware of the importance of sports games. In this case, there emerges a discussion about whether sports games are important for society or they should be taken as leisure activities. I will explore both of these opinions in the following parts. On one hand, some people think sports are important for society. Indeed, sports games are beneficial to many fields. Firstly, to organize sports competition could develop the economy. Undoubtedly, the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, for example, attracted numerous tourists, which contributed to the local tourism prosperity and brought a lot of money for the local government. In the mean time, the booming tourism also created countless job opportunities for local residents. Secondly, for normal people, to take part in sports games enable them to have more promotion opportunities in their future. This is because some of sports such as football or basketball encourage people to learn how to cooperate and compromise, and it is these interpersonal skills that make them have solid relationships with their colleagues. On other hand, some people think sports games should be taken as leisure activities, which is because these games could ease people’s daily pressure. As for adults, regular sports relax them and enable them to have more energy for their jobs. As for children, when they participate in sports games, can forget their pressure of school, which makes them more positive people in their lives. In my point of view, I tend to believe sports games should be viewed as an important social driving force and it is really important to our society.
