Hi there~

One of the similes in the poem "The Highwayman" can be:
"Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say-"

Remember that a simile is a figure of speech comparing one thing to another.


Good luck! :)

Answer:

Ok. Put some in your words.

Explanation:

Making friends is important in childhood these days for example in school a child is less likely to be left out, possibly bullied, and more likely to have someone to go to help or talk to other than the teacher. Not having friends can lead to depression, less of an urge  to go and something or participate in something, less of the feeling of self-confidence or weaker self confidence or self-encouragement or self-proudness.

My position in the debate is that competitive sports are good for child development. The reason  I think this is that there are many good things that competitive sports do for child development like promote healthy habits and lifestyles.

The thing is that competitive sports usually don’t do that much to harm child development. There are many good things that come from child development think of this, the majority of the professional sports players in the NBA played in a competitive sports league and think what happens to them they do great in their life. By letting a child do competitive sports this could lead to improvement in that sport and possibly lead to a lifetime hobby or sports hobby which could then become a job and the child would likely do well and be healthy in life and sports. That is a reason that children should be able to play competitive sports and that competitive sports are good for child development.

If a child does not play competitive sports or is not allowed to play a competitive sport could lead to bad consequences. For example since competitive sports lead to a more healthy lifestyle and more healthy habits if the child was not allowed to play a competitive or or did not this could lead to inactiveness and worse.

With letting a child do a competitive sport could help the person and the persons family by starting to get that person and persons family to learn healthy habits and lifestyle to stay or become healthy. Members of society can spread these good habits to other creating a healthier town, city, state, country, Continent, and World! This is important to have healthy habits because it helps make people healthy or stay healthy and this helps fight the obesity epidemic currently going on in america and fight obesity in other places that don’t have an obesity epidemic.

My final thought is that if more kids played competitive sports that the world would become healthier place.

Some people think that competitive sports are good for child development. Other people think that competitive sports are not good for child development. Some things that are good for child development is that kids can make and meet new friends by playing competitive sports and competitive sports that include lots of running around promote a healthy lifestyle and a healthy body. Some things that are bad about competitive sports for children are that if a child on a bad sports team or is not a good sports player might become or have less self-courage, more anxiety, and pressure to perform.

Imagine a society where nobody could play competitive sports, all the pros, and few cons that  come with this which make up a big part of this great would and society, none of these would affect and make anything in the world better. So if there were no competitive sports many things that are linked and have to do with competitive sports that are good would not make anything like the world or a person better in certain ways that pertain to competitive sports, this would change many things.

My position is that competitive sports are good for child development and growth. This is because competitive sports help build a healthy lifestyle and habit and also help make your heart and lungs stronger, help build muscles, and create a higher, stronger sense of self-courage, self-appreciation, willingness to do something. This also helps to increase speed and endurance if the sport involves continuous movement, and healthy habits and also improve skill in doing everyday things that are done in competitive sports!

The side which insists that competitive sports are not good for child development is not completely correct or accurate because not doing competitive sports do more harm to someone than playing competitive sports. The reasons be that people do that do not have a healthy lifestyle or habits if they do not do a competitive sport they might have more trouble doing these.

My main claims are that playing competitive sports is better than not playing competitive sports. The reason is that competitive sports with the obesity and health problems epidemics sports help make your body healthier and stronger and fight against these bad problems. I think and evidence and information/facts stated say that there are more pros playing competitive sports than not and that competitive sports aid and are good for child development.
