Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students’ sports activities as they give to their university libraries Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries Although playing sports is an important part of education, libraries are fundamental Students cannot study without them and they require a lot of financial support to maintain up-to-date technology, to keep new books and magazines on the shelves, and to keep them operating.
Students need up-to-date library facilities to get a good education They need computerized programs and access to Internet research databases It costs money to have these things available, but they are fundamental to education If a university offers its students only resources of a decade ago, it deprives those students of a tremendous amount of information.
Although we get a lot of information from computers and the Internet, university libraries still need to maintain a complete book and magazine collection Every day new information is published on every subject, and every university wants to have this
information available to its students Again, this requires money.
It also costs money for universities to operate their libraries University libraries are usually open for long hours and during this time they use heat and electricity Most important, a university library needs a well-educated, knowledgeable staff In order to be able to hire the best people, they have to be able to pay good salaries.
