Dr.Achebe

This week, we are discussing the social psychology of sports. We have learned that sports often have positive psychological effects on athletes, such as the memories of sports teams. But how can we describe their effects on other groups of people, such as sports enthusiasts or sports fans? Consider the following questions: when people spend a lot of time watching sports or following their favorite team, does it hurt their lives? Why or why not?

Claire:

I agree that focusing on sports too much can have negative impacts. For example, some people who like watching sports on television have few interests. It seems like watching sports is all they are interested in. I sometimes find such people annoying because they care too much about things that don't matter.

Paul:

I am unsure what we mean by spending "a lot of time" following sports. But following sports has helped me in life. When I first met one of my best friends, Daphne, I started a conversation with her by saying something about a sports team I liked. Then we moved to other topics, but sports were a great conversation starter.

题目类型：对立题型

赞同Claire观点：过于关注体育赛事有消极影响

论述逻辑：

观看体育赛事/追随自己喜欢的队伍需要花费金钱

=>购买门票等

=>花费大量的金钱

=>面临巨大的财务压力

watching sports events/following one's favorite team requires spending money

=> purchasing tickets

=> spending a lot of money

=> facing huge financial pressure.
