To persuade someone to accept your opinion, you are arguing FOR
(SUPPORT) or AGAINST (OPPOSE) something. An opinion is what a
person thinks about a subject. A fact is a true statement that can
be proven. You must give reason for your opinion. One of ways to
support your reasons is to give facts.

University should give the same amount of money to their students
sport activities as they give to their university libraries. Use

university sport activities as to university libraries. Although

fundamental. Student cannot study without them and they require a
lot of financial support to maintain up-to-date technology, to keep
new books and magazines on the shelves, and to keep them
operating.
