Hugh Cole students were recently assigned an opinion/argument letter on a topic of their choice, and the results were sent to the Warren Times. This is one of the letters:

To Whom It May Concern,

I think gymnastics is the best sport because it teaches you life lessons and social skills, health, and activity. Did you know that gymnastics is one of the best sports to   balance? If you wanted to do another sport such as hockey balance would be helpful for you.

One reason why I think gymnastics is the best sport is because it teaches you life lessons and social skills. In a article, What are the Benefits of gymnastics it said “ It develops real life skills like patience, following directions, and respecting others”.For example In the article, it also says “gymnastics can help with balance for other sports like hockey, dance, or soccer”. Furthermore, “ attending a regular gymnastics class provides your child with the opportunity to communicate with people”. When I first did gymnastics I learned how to communicate more with other people besides my family.

Another reason why I think gymnastics is the best sport is because of health. In the article 7 Reasons Why Gymnastics is the Best Sport  it says “ gymnastics  can help improve  your health and make you stay fit”. In addition, it also says “ taking part in any exercise significantly reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Lastly, it states “ when you do gymnastics you can sometimes exercise at your house even when gymnastics is closed”.  Sometimes I do gymnastics at home when it is closed so I can still do it.

My last reason why gymnastics is the best sport is because of their activities. In the article 10 Benefits of Gymnastics it said “ During the summer at gymnastics company sometimes has a program where you can still do gymnastics”. For example it also states “ If you have a big yard you could buy gymnastics equipment to do it at home”. My last example, is “ some days you have gymnastics meets where you get award and compete”. After school I usually do gymnastics on gymnastics mat or I just do random moves.

Gymnastics is the best sport because it teaches you life lessons and social skills, it improves health, and of its activities. Do you agree with me that this is a good sport?

Sincerely,

Madison Pacheco
