WRITING TASK 2 (ESSAY TYPE :- Discuss both views)

Task 2

Some people think competitive sports are important for a child’s education. Others think it has negative effects on children.

Discuss both views.


In recent years, due to stiff competition in almost every area some people opine that competitive sports have a beneficial impact on children’s education. However, there are some who disagree with the above notion. Before presenting my view, I intend to explore both sides of the argument.

There are many advantages of competitive sports. The first and foremost advantage is that such sports prepare children for a society that thrives on competition. A competition is a normal part of human nature and a part of everyday life. Secondly, competitive sports provide challenges and helps children deal with such challenges. Finally, these games teach discipline and help build character and confidence.

On the other hand, opponents of competitive sports argue that these sports lead to stress which is detrimental to the mental health of children. If these games are played with a win-at –all- cost attitude then sometimes unethical means are adopted to win and this is definitely not what children should learn in schools. Competitive sports also have a toxic effect on the relation among children. Each child may regard others as a rival to his own success and it leads children to envy winners and laugh at losers.

In my opinion, competitive sports are good but over competitiveness should be discouraged. The win-at –all-cost mentality should not be there. In childhood, competition should be introduced gradually and children should build skills, participate fully and focus on playing rather than winning.

To conclude, competitive sports have more pros and cons. Students should play competitive sports because they make them adapt better to this competitive society. However, schools should take effective measures to avoid destructive competitions.
