[00:07.86]Should School Sports Facilities Be Open to the Public?
[00:12.58]Currently, some schools have opened
[00:16.50]or are planning to open their sports facilities to the public.
[00:20.98]But, is it acceptable and necessary for schools to do so?
[00:25.90]Opinions vary from one person to another.
[00:29.38]Some people hold that it is necessary
[00:33.01]and wise for schools to do so,
[00:35.14]as it brings extra revenue to schools.
[00:38.12]In addition, citizens living adjacent to schools
[00:42.48]can gain access to standardized sports facilities
[00:46.29]to refresh or entertain themselves.
[00:49.29]Others think it's the other way round.
[00:52.65]To begin with,
[00:54.02]chances are that schools will have to spend an enormous sum
[00:58.25]repairing or updating those facilities
[01:01.42]which may be easily damaged with excessive use every year.
[01:06.07]Next, students may be greatly affected,
[01:09.43]either in terms of their study
[01:11.70]or of access to the sports facilities.
[01:14.95]Furthermore, schools are very likely
[01:18.66]to be confronted with some potential dangers,
[01:21.89]including stealing,
[01:23.40]designedly destruction of property and the like.
[01:27.44]As a student,
[01:29.18]I am in favor of the latter viewpoint,
[01:32.11]strongly opposing to the idea of opening school
[01:35.71]sports facilities to the public.
