参考范文：
Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. There is no doubt that proper sport activities keep our physical fitness. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playground he not only struggles for himself but also fights for his team. Sports teach us to practise consideration, cooperation and optimism to failure.
But sports can do some harm to those people who can not plan their activities properly. Too hard training may hurt their bodies, exhaust their vigor, and even cause them to be sick.
Generally speaking, I love sports and enjoy sports. I feel that I not only gain a well-balanced life through going in for sports, but also get more chances to move closer to nature. Sports add happiness to my everyday life when I perform in a decent way.
