IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - DIRECT ESSAY - JAYANTH NALLA
In many countries, sports and exercise classes are replaced with the academic subjects
Discuss the effects of this trend.
Over the
past few decades, academic subjects have become increasingly important in this fast-changing
information-based society. Nowadays, there has been a growing debate as to
whether it would be more effective to replace physical education classes with
academic subjects. Despite the importance of sports, I highly believe that it
is inevitable and more efficient to focus more on academic subjects for several
reasons.
Those who
argue that sports and exercise classes are needed in school, base their case on
the following arguments. First of all, sports are a good way to build character
and develop a personality. In other words, they are necessary for learning about
competition, cooperation, and good sportsmanship. In addition, as a majority of
children, these days are addicted to the Internet, they find it hard to leave
their computer. Consequently, a growing number of children are becoming
overweight or obese due to a lack of exercise. So, if schools foster an
environment that deprives students of getting a proper physical education, it
will have a long-term negative effect on children both mentally and physically.
Nevertheless,
people should not ignore the fact that devoting more time and energy to
academic subjects will benefit students more in the long run. The time devoted
to physical education now would be better spent teaching students English. This
is because speaking fluent English will give young people an advantage over
other college applicants and job seekers in the near future. Besides, science
will undoubtedly benefit youth more than physical education as well. The
principles learned in science will provide the necessary foundation for solving difficult problems that are sure to arise in students' futures.
In conclusion, there are high hopes that
educators and parents exercise wisdom in teaching young generations.
