Question 25

Exceptional well-being

Our beautiful city has just acquired a new park near the city center. Now, Nakata has no less than five parks. For a small town of 15,000 inhabitants, this is quite exceptional! Personally, I am very proud to live in one of the greenest cities in Japan! It’s a real blessing to live in a place with so many green spaces. Thus, all these trees that surround us allow us to benefit from incomparable air quality. In addition, it is very nice to be able to walk in the parks in your free time. My children especially love Rose Park, to the north of the city. The playgrounds set up for them are really superb. In short, I wanted once again to congratulate the mayor and his team for carrying out such a policy in favor of the environment and the well-being of citizens.

Question 26

The question of doping in sport

  For or against doping, that is the question facing the world of sport. While some defend its legalization by asserting that athletes, such as musicians and writers, also have the right to dope to improve their performance, others consider that doping undermines the fundamental values of sport, and in particular fairness.

 In this debate, it is essential to remember that taking doping products sometimes has irreversible consequences on health. A sting can help the medal-winning professional or amateur, but it can also cause them to die young. Many cyclists, like Marco Pantani for example, have paid for their exploits with their lives. It is for this reason that it is suicidal to want to allow doping in sport. On the contrary, we must persevere in the fight against doping by increasing controls and reinforcing the sanctions against cheaters.

Answer 26

La question du dopage dans le sport

 Pour ou contre le dopage, telle est la question que se pose le monde du sport. Si certains défendent sa légalisation en affirmant que les sportifs, comme les musiciens et les écrivains, ont aussi le droit de se doper pour améliorer leurs performances, d’autres considèrent que le dopage nuit aux valeurs fondamentales du sport, et notamment l’équité.

Dans ce débat, il essentiel de rappeler que la prise de produits dopants a des conséquences parfois irréversibles sur la santé. Une piqûre peut aider le professionnel ou l’amateur a remporté une médaille, mais elle peut aussi le faire mourir jeune. Beaucoup de cyclistes, comme Marco Pantani par exemple, ont payé leurs exploits de leur vie. C’est pour cette raison qu’il est suicidaire de vouloir autoriser le dopage dans le sport. Au contraire, il faut persévérer dans la lutte antidopage en augmentant les contrôles et en renforçant les sanctions contre les tricheurs.
