Positive and Negative Aspects of Sports（1993．1）
（運動的積極與消極方面）
1. 體育運動的好處。
2. 體育運動可能帶來的副作用。
3. 我參加體育運動的體會。
此文為論說文。應從正反兩方面來論證體育運動的有利及不利之處，最後根據自身的情況來談談自己的感受。第一段，體育運動的好處：體育運動可以鍛鍊我們的身體，還可以豐富我們的生活，還可以塑造我們的性格，如替他人著想、合作、樂觀。第二段，體育運動可能帶來的副作用，如果體育運動安排的不好，可能會受傷，筋疲力盡，甚至生病。第三段，“我”的體會，體育運動可以使我保持平衡的心態。
參考範文：
Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. There is no doubt that proper sport activities keep our physical fitness. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playground he not only struggles for himself but also fights for his team. Sports teach us to practise consideration, cooperation and optimism to failure.
But sports can do some harm to those people who can not plan their activities properly. Too hard training may hurt their bodies, exhaust their vigor, and even cause them to be sick.
Generally speaking, I love sports and enjoy sports. I feel that I not only gain a well-balanced life through going in for sports, but also get more chances to move closer to nature. Sports add happiness to my everyday life when I perform in a decent way.
