Whenever
I talk to my friends about the United States of America, they said America is
the best place for sports. Actually, I did not realize that until I arrived in
the United States. I found that most Americans really care about sport, unlike
in my country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In
America, every place you go you can find a gym close to your home. It is also
cheap to become a member in the gym. In contrast, in Saudi Arabia, it is hard
to find a gym close to your home; also, it will be expensive to become a member
in the gym. Therefore, no one will be willing to go to the gym because it will
be far away, and if not, the prices for being a member will be so expensive
compared to the prices in America. In addition to that, American society has a
diversity of sports. Americans already have four professional sports to choose:
American football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey. The first three sports
of the four professional sports were invented in the United States. As a result
of this diversity, everyone can easily find his or her interest. On the other
hand, football or “soccer”, what Americans call football, is the only common
sport in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, if you like another sport besides soccer, you
will find a difficulty to find a place where you can learn or play this
sport.
In
conclusion, it will be great if you live in a society that cares about sports.
Also, I hope that over the next few years we have many gyms and some sport diversity
in my country.

Hi Mishal,
ReplyDeleteGood point! I agree that most Saudis don't go to gym because of the distance and price. However, most of guys prefer to play soccer or volleyball. Therefore, the comparison point is "Gym" not "Sport" generally. Otherwise, I like the rest of the ideas that you mentioned here.
Best wishes,
Saad
