The growing number of overweight people is putting a strain on the health care system in an effort to deal with the health issues involved. Some people think that the best way to deal with this problem is to introduce more physical education lessons in the school curriculum. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Hospitals and medical centres are stressed because of the increasing number of people who have an unhealthy

weight

. Certain individuals believe that the best way to manage

this

issue is to have more physical education (

PE

) classes at

school

Paraphrase. In my opinion, I totally disagree with

this

idea because

diet

Suggestion

the diet

a diet

has the biggest impact on a students’

weight

. There are reasons why I argue that

diet

has a bigger impact on one’s health than exercise during

PE

class.Topic Sentence

First

of all, it is easier to improve our health by changing our

diet

than doing more

PE

classes.Supporting Idea

For instance

, overweight students can simply eat less fat and sugar.

Evidence

Furthermore

, it takes a lot of time to burn calories, which can consume in minutes.Supporting Idea So any benefits to a student’s health from a

PE

class can be cancelled out by simply eating a Snickers bar.

Evidence

Hence

, schools should actively promote healthier diets to their students to help them to lose

weight

rather than adding more

PE

classes.Topic Sentence Most importantly, schools can ensure that only healthy food is served in the

school

canteen.Supporting Idea

For example

, food

that is

high in fat, sugar or salt should be banned.

Evidence

In addition

, lessons on a balanced

diet

should be given during

school

time.Supporting Idea

Such

lessons should teach students about the dangers of obesity and how to maintain a healthy

weight

.

Evidence

In conclusion, having more

PE

classes isn’t the best way to address the problem of obesity.Conclusion If I were a

school

principal, I would introduce a healthier menu at the

school

canteen

instead
