ATHLETES MUST HAVE A DEGREE

Introduction

- Sports have undergone an evolution - produce better sportsmen.
-Malaysia will  follow  other countries. University for sportsmen.
-Sportsmen must excel in both sports and academic. All athletes should have a degree.
-To prepare for  their future life, improve  the performance and be a role model to young athletes

Point 1

-To prepare for their future life.
- Sports do not promise successful life - become rich
- They need to maintain their performance if they do not  have permanent jobs
- When they become old,  no more job offers and no money to spend.
- Example: Shazlin Zulkifli who is former no. 1 Asian pin bowler. She has a degree in sports science. Now,  she owns Runsa Tenpin in Mutiara Damansara at The Curve. She acts as a manager and also a trainer.
- Thus, all athletes should have a degree in order to help their future life.

- Athletes who have a degree usually will perform much better than other athletes who are not educated.
- The athletes will have more knowledge about  the techniques,  skills and also strategies to win the game.
- The athletes can manage themselves better. - Not easily give up.
-Example: A good football team is not seen by their ability. Good ability without great ideas – lose.

 Thus, educated players will create once and make it done. The team will control the game.
-Hence, having a degree is one of factors that helps the player to perform the best in sports.

Point 3

-Be a role model to young athletes.
-Young athletes will follow seniors’ steps.
-People also will respect athletes who succeed in academic and sports. –

- refute the statement that athletes only perform in sports, but not in academic.
-Sports  - not a reason why someone fails in academic.
- Example: Azizulhusni Awang a pocket rocket man. He succeeds in his track cycling and also academic.

2. MOST STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS ARE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

Introduction

·         A dream for students-better achievement (result)-scholarship-further studies

·         Agree with the title that study-abroad is a waste of time and money because students misuse the government's money, time is not spent studying and  courses taken are not recognized in Malaysia

·        

Body

Point 1 –students misuse the government's money

s

·         Might-tempted to buy things that are not found in Malaysia-West (Europe and Britain)

For example - limited edition of bags and high heels which are quite expensive for a student

·         Spend the money for holiday purposes-think that the money will never cease;  do not value the money and not spend it wisely .

Point 2
-time is not spent studying

·         Countries that experience 4 seasons-most students choose these countries-tempted to experience all different seasons-when they are stress with their studies-spend the time to enjoy and forget about study.

·         Make new friends-culture shock and end up following their lifestyles

Eg: wild party, clubbing-bring back yellow culture.
So, time is not spent on studies but other unimportant matters.

Point 3
-Take courses that are not recognized in Malaysia

·         Courses that are offered by other countries - do not fulfill the qualifications that Malaysia requires

·         One of the cases-a Malaysia student took  medical course in a university in Russia-came back to Malaysia-unemployed because  the degree was not recognized.-waste of time and money.

Conclusion

·         Study-abroad programs give more disadvantages than advantages.

·
