Speaking exercise

what’s the importance of doing sports?

Having sports are very necessary and important to everyone. If we are sick, the doctor will tell us to do some sports to help us recover. It does keep us healthy, for example, when I was at high school, I fell down from the stairs, I couldn’t move for even a month. When I could get up, my mother forced me to do sports everyday. Then I recovered quickly as I thought.

Yesterday when I was browsing Ticktock,I saw a video which showed that a mother threw her 8 months old child rudely into the swimming pool to teach her swimming. The mother’s behavior gave rise to a lot of controversies.

Some people think that the child is too young to swim, and the mother was so rude to her baby which could cause dangers. Kids need to be treat softly and carefully. The action “trow” is not the correct way that mother should do to a little kid.

Well, I agree with others whom think that it’s none of anyone’s business except the child’s families, besides, the mother did do something to protect the her. Every family has their own way about children’s education. As long as they are legal, regardless of what method they use, we’re not suppose to intervene.

We shouldn’t give our judgement in the absence of a whole event, because language can hurt without your attention.
