There is a heated debate over whether hazardoussports should be prohibited.
In my judgement, it is unwiseto stop people from taking up these sports.
主体段1：讨论题干观点1（让步+反驳）
Prohibition may seemwise becauseconsequences of doing these dangerous activities can be severe. For example, neck and head injuries, along with bonefractures, are common in bull-riding; boxers are prone to developing neural problems later in their life, like Parkinson’s disease. However, they are significantlyless likely to happen to the fittest players than who are physically poorly prepared. So itmay be advisableto exclude only those without tough bodies.Besides, such sports come with considerable economic benefits, as participants need spend a large sum buying equipment and hiringa coach andtheir sportvideos posted onlinemight be a source of income.
主体段2：讨论题干观点2
I am for those who believe that individuals should be free to take up dangerous sports for two main reasons. Most importantly, some are born with the gene to experience thrills. They have no fear for high speed orheight, and even enjoy being in situations that others consider risky. I think they deserve to fulfill their desire to explore their lives in spite ofthe risks.In addition, these activities are much better than safe sports at revealing humans to an important fact that they are mortal and this might lead to living more fully and meaningfully.
结尾段：重申观点
To conclude, despite diseases, disabilities and deaths resulting from playing hazardous sports,the economic and psychologicalbenefits justify support for these activities, as long as the prospective athletes pass a physical fitness test related to a specific sport.
