美国青少年体育发展现状给我国学校体育带来的启示

Developmental Status Quo of US Teenagers Sports and Its Suggestions to Chinese School Sports

青少年体育活动作为现代化生活方式之一,已经渗透到美国家庭的日常生活中,并成功地改变了人们培养青少年的价值观念。美国的教育把初、高中学生体育运动的参与程度作为对学生最重要的择优标准之一。这样的教育在积极鼓励并引导学生在走向光明未来的同时,保证其有健康的体魄和坚毅自信的性格。美国青少年体育的发展受到家庭、学校、社会的高度重视。中国正在进行基础教育改革,学校体育也被愈来愈多的人所重视。把握契机,借鉴美国青少年体育运动成功的经验,有利于完善我们的教育体制,使我们的青少年成为最终的受益者。

Sports has become a tradition and a part of culture in every American family. It has also changed people＇s lifestyle. It is ingrained in the school programs and community activities. Students with exceptional skills in sports have a good chance to get admitted to colleges and universities. This system encourages more students to get involved in sports. That will help students not only have a healthier body, but also have greater confidence and character. The educational system in China is changing, and more people realize that sports are an important part of education. I believe that we should look at other culture＇s experience with sports programs, and incorporate sports into Chinese schools in order to benefit our children and society.
