Hi,

 

I am a new member and I am going to take the test in July. I would be grateful if you rate my essay. Thanks.

 

Topic: Some people consider sport to be their career and role in the society. For others, it is mostly a workout to keep fit. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

 

 

Nowadays, it is true that sport plays a very important role in our life. Some people even turn it into their career. In my own opinion, sport career is not a bad choice but it is a little risky.

 

First of all, it is clear that one of the first reasons why people come to sports is to keep fit. Sports help them having a good health, lifting their spirit, and so on. After several years playing sports, some particular people find it really interesting and passionate. They know that this is the career which they are looking for and decide to be athletes.

 

For others, in contrast, they do not consider sports as a career because they simply do not think that sports can bring them a good life or their sports passion is not that much. And as we all know, without passion and determination, we can’t be successful in anything. If someone does not like sports, you can’t force him or her to choose sports as a career.

 

In my opinion, sport career has 2 sides: positive and negative. If you are successful and can be number one in the world like Roger Federer in tennis or Lionel Messi in football, you can do many things. By then, you will not have to worry about your living anymore and will even be able to help others by doing charities or founding a foundation. It sounds great but if you are just an average player or even worse, getting a serious injury which destroys your career, you will be nothing and there will be no way to get back.

 

In sum, working out to keep fit is good. However, if you want to make it as a career, like any other jobs, you must consider carefully because after your decision is made, you have to follow it till the end.

Sometimes people believe smth. because of laziness. For example sometimes it is geberally accepted to believe that professional sport leads to being invalid later, It´s madness. Or it´s better to say a comfortable explanation why one has never practiced sport professionally
