Students who are studying for important school exams should stop sports lessons. Discuss.

#students #school #exams #sports #lessons
Some parents may think that
while
 their children are preparing for important school
exams
, they shouldn’t have sports
lessons
.
This
 could be because they want them to focus on exam subjects more, like science and maths. For a similar reason, some parents think children should
also
 stop painting and music
lessons
 in the final school term so they can spend more time studying.
However
, I disagree with these views
,
Remove the comma

show examples
 and believe that children should continue to have sports
lessons
. These
lessons
 help
students
 keep healthy and happy during the exam period.
Firstly
, schools need to encourage young
people
 to follow a healthy lifestyle and get regular
exercise
. Many young
people
 don’t do enough
exercise
. They prefer to spend their free time indoors on their computers or watching TV than going to the park and playing tennis, or going cycling. Many
people
 today are overweight and have health problems. There is a lot of information about eating healthily, but
people
 often forget that regular
exercise
 is equally important.
Secondly
,
exercise
 helps us feel less stressed and tired. It
also
 improves memory and helps us think clearly. When
students
 are studying for
exams
, it’s a good idea to take regular breaks and do something active for 20 minutes.
Exercise
also
 helps us to concentrate better on difficult tasks and helps us sleep better at night. Doing
exercise
 may even help
students
 get better results in their
exams
. In conclusion, I believe that
students
 who are revising for important
exams
 should continue to have sports
lessons
 because regular
exercise
 is good for their body and mind.
