TOEFL Practice essay - Franklie Y 11

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: 'Universities should give the same amount of money to their student;s sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

It is my dream to go to college and get a sport scholarship as a soccer player. Today the importance of sports has reached high levels compared to the years before. I believe that sport is knowledge just like reading. Colleges have to give the same amount of money not only to a library but also to sports.

Sport has evolved with humans. Its importance is not minimal; vice versa it is more than entertainment. It is a culture that makes each state be accentuated in the eyes of the world. There is no objection that books are what make us understand the past and the present. They are what make us smart. They are truly important.

I prefer sports and hope that one day the same amount of money given to the library would be given for sports.
This is Franklie's first attempt at a TOEFL essay.
