大学英语作文1300字:比赛就是要赢才有乐趣。你同意不同意这种说法?
"playing a game isfun only when you
win." do you agree or disagree with
this statement ?
some people argue that athletes, while playing games,should adhere to the principle "friendship first, competition second, "and that that is the true sportsmanship.
personally, i disagree with this point of view. there is no denying that competitors should be friendly with each other.however, the primary concern of every player, after hard training for a year or two, is to win the game. his/her sole motivation, either during the training or in the race, is prompted by a looming hope and a prospective championship. be it a chess game or a competition of weight-lifting or a race of a hundred-metre dash, the case is always true. if he/she wins the game, high rewards, flowers and honour will pile upon him/her. if he/she loses once or twice, he/she will become less courageous for the third time. however, several losses may beat him/her down, and his/her net hattie, if he/she is daring to fight, will probably be a fiasco.
so, in my mind, the fun or happiness of playing a game lies in the athlete's ultimate achievement of the goal.we all know napoleon's famous saying that a soldier who does not have the ambition to become a marshal is not a real soldier.i agree that an unambitious athlete is not a real athlete.
