Band 6+: Taking up some kind of sport is the best way for people to improve their social and psychological well-being. To what extent do you agree or disagree ? What other measure do you think might be effective?

There are plenty of choices for our leisure time. Some people regard that learning sorts of exercise can have a positive effect on social and psychological well-being. Personally, I absolutely agree with this notion, furthermore, I also think there are other ways to enhance quality of life.

Playing sports can be an effective way to build relationships. While people play soccer, they need not only professional skills in the sport but also teamwork. During the process, in order to get better grades, teammates need to make communication with each other. Likewise, no matter whether the result is good or not, the gap between each member will shrink because of the cooperation they build during the game. Therefore, a positive social well-being will be created when people join sports in their spare time.

During sports, people become sincere and open their minds to others. In some research, scientists found that people become more emotional and sensitive after exercise, hence, they are more willing to show their real notions to the people around them. Due to the sincerity and open-minded words, it will be easier for people to make friends with each other.

In addition, a mutual target can bring people closer and enhance their well-being as well. In university, students join the club or student union in order to reach the same goal, the aim create a strong connection between them. During the process, people not only have a sense of achievement but also obtain mental support from each other, as a result, sometimes the consequence isn’t the biggest part for them, the process is. In my viewpoint, this is the difference between a group and a person, the members obtain more social and psychological well-being from their target and friendship, and that’s the reason why university students are more confident.

In conclusion, playing sports can not only easily build a relationship but also assist human in opening their heart, furthermore, joining a group which have a common target can also change a person’s personality and life positively.
