Adults do less exercise nowadays. Some think that people can be encouraged to live healthy through sporting events such as the Olympics or the World Cup. Others think that there are more better ways to encourage adults for exercise. Discuss both views and state your opinion.

In
this
 day and age, most people lead a sedentary lifestyle which brings about health problems. In the meantime, how to give people motivation to do sports has sparked much debate. Some people believe that holding sporting events will help people to live more healthy while many others argue that there are alternatives to encourage people. Personally, I am in favour of the latter view.
First
 of all, there is no denying that people are more likely to be motivated by sports events, especially for the Olympics and the World Cup. The reason is that competitive sports often show various spirits physically, mentally and intellectually, which encourage people’s
enthusiasm
 and motivate them to work out.
Moreover
, during the sports events, there are plenty of advertisements related to sports and healthy lifestyle, and the majority of people will get more influenced through these commercials and start exercising.
However
, most of the competitions held by country require professional skills,
such
 as fencing and shot, which will dampen ordinary people’s
enthusiasm
.
Therefore
, I firmly believe that there are multiple methods to arouse the locals’
enthusiasm
 and initiative to sports. Take the government as an example, it is imperative for the authorities to create sports infrastructures in the community,
such
 as a playground, an outdoor basketball court, and even a swimming pool, and open them free to the public.
Besides
, the company can
also
 encourage employees to start biking to work
instead
 of taking the metro with the certain compensation, which will benefit employee’s physical health and
also
 decrease the traffic congestion in a way. In summary, I believe that there are different ways to raise the public sense of living in a healthy lifestyle and I think that the people’s
enthusiasm
 of sports would run high if the country can hold word-class sports events.
