Some people say that physical exercise should be a required part of every school #1 (permalink) Fri Oct 16, 2009 17:53 pm   Some people say that physical exercise should be a required part of every school
 

Some people say that physical exercise should be a required part of every school day. Other people believe that students should spend the whole school day on academic studies. Which opinion do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer

my response:

In today's world academics are really very important if one one need to stand in this competitive world.the standard of education is rising day by day and because of this there is huge burden on the student's shoulders.they burn day and night oil to get fruitful results.

no doubt studies are very important and one need to put a lot of effort but physical exercise plays an important role in ones life."health is wealth" is a very famous saying which emphasizes on the fact that if one is in good health only then one can put efforts in other activities.even new researches has shown that students who do regular physical exercise can concentrate more on studies and thus show better results.

because of lack of exercises the cases of obesity has also increased in students and because of this many students at such a tender age are suffering from various heart ailments.

i feel that there should be a games period in every school so that students can relax during that time and can feel free from the burden.This would further enhance there growth in academics as well as extra curricular.

Good essay LA, although a little short.
Please ENSURE that you start every sentence with a CAPITAL letter, your biggest failing.

Kitos.

Hi Littleangel8786

what did you mean by that sentence?
You have used academic as a noun and since it is countable you have used it's plural
academic(noun)= a teacher in a college or university
you meant education, educational degrees or schooling or something else...?

Quote:

why you change the English Idiom?
Burn the midnight oil
I had read it in the book ("136 American English Idioms" Harry collis- Illustrated by joe Kohl) when I was a kid.. but I do remember this one.

if you work or study long hours at night you can say that burn the midnight oil.

Thank you Kitos.
