Some people think that government shouldn’t put money on building theaters and sports stadiums. It should spend more money on medical care and education. Agree or disagree?
Disagree
1. Theaters are places where different forms of arts including films, concert, dramas and operas etc., are shown or performed. Many of them are educational and can teach people about the history and culture of their own countries and of other foreign countries. They can also teach people about love and hatred as in opera Romeo and Juliet; good and evil as in the movie “Schindler’s list”.
2. Apart from work, people should have some entertainment to relax and enjoy their spare time. If there are no movie theaters, people will have no place to go for watching movies and people’s lives will become less interesting/dull indeed.
3. Sports stadiums are places where sports competitions are held which can increase people’s awareness of the importance of a healthy body. Then people will attach more importance to physical exercises which is the best way to prevent disease.
4. Sports stadiums can also educate people about fair competition as well the spirit of cooperation. It also encourages people to try to challenge one’s own limit in order to achieve better accomplishment.
5. Some theaters and sports stadiums are great works of architecture and can represent a country’s or a city’s wealth and level of civilization. The Grand Theatre in Shanghai becomes a symbol of Shanghai. Sydney Opera House is a landmark in Sydney.
6. Theaters are an ideal venue for cultural communication and sports stadiums are good places for strengthening good relationship among nations.
