“It is good that professional sports are so commercial, nowadays?”

Sport nowadays is very popular and very entertaining because of the following reasons in this essay. I believe that professional sports are a bit too commercial and need to be changed.

Sports are commercial because they have a lot of advertisements from sponsors and some products and a lot of famous footballers and basketball players, mainly, have too high salaries. Also, there are some too fanatical fans, which are called hooligans that make troubles in the stadiums such as breaking objects, cause brawls between the fans of two teams and others.

However, sports are entertaining, even today, but there are some problems. For these reasons, there must not be hooligans and the salaries must not be higher than it needs to be. Also, there must not be corruptions of trainers, referees and players.

Apart from these problems, professional sports are good and these problems can be solved and overcome.

Entry summary:

1st photo: In this photo we can see a little girl looking at her dad behind a window. The girl, Mila, was ill, and her parents tried to protect her from COVID-19. Her dad had to go to work every day and her sister had to go to school, so they found a solution: to live in different houses. They would visit Mila every day at the window. At first Mila did not understand what was happening but at the end she accepted it. She was strong and patient and her mum was proud of her.

2nd photo: In this photo we can see two kids siting on the fence of their garden clapping for their mum and dad. Both kids are wearing their pyjamas because it is late in the evening. Their parents work in a hospital and they save people from COVID-19. They spend many hours away from their children and they return home late at night. During lockdown, many doctors and nurses had to work extremely hard and they had to “forget” even their children for many months. That is why all of us should be grateful to them.

3rd photo: In this photo we can see two doctors wearing masks with a smile on them. They worked hard all the week and they want to feel happy and make their patients and colleagues happy as well. Masks hide faces and emotions. When people wear them, they cannot communicate and exchange ideas. That’s why the doctors drew smiles on the masks, they wanted to show their feelings.

A happy schoolyard

I can see a schoolyard. I can see two girls, who are playing basketball and a boy who is playing football. There is a box with many balls, a bike and a hopscotch. Also there are a lot of trees.
