2016 Part B, Q.2 Sample Essay

(Sports Communication – Letter to the Editor on Schools Allowing the Public to Use their Sports Facilities)

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my dismay at a recent proposal suggesting that schools should allow the public to use their sports facilities after school hours. Despite complaints about insufficient sports facilities for the public, I believe such a suggestion while well-intentioned is ill-conceived for the following reasons.

To begin with, allowing the public to share the sports facilities with students’ deprives students of their full access to those facilities as well as their right to use them at their disposal. Most schools in Hong Kong have very limited space with just one basket court and/or one football pitch. With the public sharing the same facilities with students, this would create a conflict of interest. These facilities may become constantly occupied by members of the public for an extended period of time. As a result, students may not be able to utilize the sports equipment and facilities to which they are entitled. It is important for schools to provided adequate13 facilities and room for students to unwind and main their physical health after a long day of stressful classes. Besides, it goes without saying that many school sports teams need sports venues for practice and competition. Allowing public access could further disrupt their current practice schedules and undermine their progress in the preparation for upcoming competitions. Ultimately this may take a toll on their performance. Schools should make students a top priority and strive to cater to their needs whenever possible. Opening school sports facilities to the public would go against the best interests of students.

In addition, the broader important of keeping school facilities separate from the public also extend to the safety of students. Allowing public use would mean anyone can enter the school premises freely. It is extremely dangerous to have strangers roaming around campus since they can approach the students and potentially break into classrooms without supervision. Sex offenders and ex-convicts can also easily lurk around sports facilities after school hours and prey on their next target. In the US, mass shootings on school campuses in which damages and casualties were inflicted on young, impressionable schoolchildren are often a result of loose security, among other factors. The new move will, without question, raise concerns and doubts about students’ safety at schools among parents. Therefore, granting the public access to school sports facilities could put students in jeopardy and destroy parents’ trust in schools.

Advocates of this proposal may contend that schools can tighten security measures by requiring public users to present their IDs and register before using the facilities. The reality is that it is impossible to keep track of every user at the same time. On that note schools will have to allocate more resources and money to hire more security guards and oversee users’ activity. Along with the wear and tear of the sports facilities and equipment considerable maintenance costs will be incurred to keep them in good condition for both students and the public. The money and manpower should instead be employed to improve students’ learning experience. In fact, the responsibility of providing the public with sports and recreational facilities lies not in schools but in the government which should take the initiative in offering more sports centers and facilities for the public by revitalizing decrepit, empty sites that will benefit the whole community without hurting the interests of students.

Even though the proposal may alleviate the shortage at sports facilities for the public, students’ safety, welfare and access to those facilities will be compromised in the long risks of the proposal and reconsider the suggestion.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Wong
