Reflection Task 2a

Reflection Task 2a

I want to choose the topic as sports. Sports is an indispensable element in the lives of people in modern times. Sports touches the lives of ours in two distinct ways; either as a way of mass- entertainment or some kind of personal hobby. First of all, sports is a huge industry in modern world. Football and basketball alone have hundreds of millions of spectators around the world. Some these people watch the games in their homes while some others enjoy watching the games in the stadiums or saloons. The teams they support have a great deal of importance and meaning for them. These people associate their social life with the team they support. They go to the matches, buy the products their team offers and talk about the matches among friends as a way of socialization. There are millions of fans of the famous players. Take Messi as an example, for instance. Football fans get crazy for him. This is the case in Europe. People in America enjoy basketball more. There is also a personal aspect of sports. People play different sports games themselves as a way of spending good time, either alone or with friends. For instance, there are people who come together every week for a miniature football match. Friends can have the chance to enjoy a socially sportive event in this way. Also people make use of personal sports like swimming, running and cycling as a means of keeping fit. This is also very valuable for health. Regular exercise and sports helps keeping healthy to a great extent. As for me, I like personal sports more than the team games. I swim regularly to keep fit and healthy. Also it is very useful about lowering the stress level. I also like playing tennis and watching tennis matches very much. On the other hand, I find football excessively industrialized. And it causes people to spend too much time watching the games. And the party benefiting the least out of football is the supporters. They are the party spending money and time, but others are the winners.  I thing people have to orient themselves more to the personal sports that can be done on one’s own. This will be more healthy and economical for the people.
