1. Do young individuals enjoy engaging in sports?
Definitely yes because sports bring numerous positive impacts to them. For example, participating in physically demanding sports such as football and cricket helps them maintain physical fitness and wellness by reducing the risk of developing serious conditions like obesity, heart disease, cancer, and other severe illnesses. Additionally, these activities assist in managing mental health issues like depression and chronic anxiety. Lastly, playing mind-stimulating games like chess stimulates brain areas crucial for memory development.
- stay physically fit and healthy: giữ thể lực và khỏe mạnh
- thought-provoking: kích thích tư duy
- brain-racking: vận động trí não
2. What are the advantages of sports for children?
Above all, sports offer numerous health benefits for young children. Playing outside allows them to be more active and develop strong bones while burning calories. Exposure to sunlight, even in winter, ensures they naturally absorb essential vitamin D. Additionally, engaging in sports teaches children to step outside their comfort zones, encouraging them to push their limits and enhance their risk assessment skills. It also fosters confidence in trying new activities independently.
- move about: di chuyển
- venture outside their comfort zones: mạo hiểm bên ngoài vùng an toàn
3. Is it necessary to develop public sports facilities?
Absolutely, because sports are crucial for improving public health. Many residents cannot afford private sports equipment, and solo sports can be tedious. Moreover, certain sports require multiple participants. Therefore, public sports facilities offer opportunities for socializing while promoting better health outcomes.
- part and parcel: một phần và cốt lõi
- stand more chances of socializing: có thêm cơ hội giao lưu
4. What is your opinion on companies donating sports facilities for underprivileged children?
On one hand, companies enhance their reputation through marketing campaigns. Increased donations elevate their public profile and benefit sports equipment manufacturers and traders. On the other hand, underprivileged children gain access to improved health through donated sports facilities. Sports equipment and gym memberships can be costly for both low-income and working-class families. Therefore, corporate donations of sports facilities benefit both companies and disadvantaged children.
- enhance their reputation: nâng cao uy tín
- under public’s eyes: trong mắt công chúng
- underprivileged: kém may mắn
- extravagant: xa xỉ
- below-average class: tầng lớp có cuộc sống dưới mức trung bình
- working class: tầng lớp lao động
