Band 7.5

Many countries thought that children have to do homework in their free time while other say children should do more outdoor activity. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#countries #children #homework #time #activity
So many nations throughout the world are in an opinion that kids have to finish their homework in their leisure hours. Some other countries believe that they need to spend their free
time
 doing outdoor
activities
. I strongly disagree with the statement that the
children
 need to spare their free
time
 for studying. Studying after school hours will give mental stress to
children
 and playing will enable
children
 to stay fit both mentally and physically. On the one hand, studying at home after school will give a lot of mental pressure on
children
.
Furthermore
, sitting and studying for too long hours will cause health issues like obesity in
children
 and
also
 pain in the spinal cord. A recent study, made by Stanford University students reveals that there is a 25% increase in childhood obesity cases from 2015 to 2020 which is due to sitting in one place for so much
time
.
On the other hand
, spending their free
time
 playing extra-curricular
activities
 will enhance the
children
 to develop the inbuilt special skills other than studies.
In addition
, these
activities
 will help
children
 to relax their minds.
For instance
, in Russia after the introduction of extra-curricular
activities
 into the main ,curriculum there is a huge increase in the positive results of
children
 both academically and in other
activities
 as well. In conclusion,
children
 should be encouraged to perform
activities
 like sports, arts, handicrafts, dance, etc.
However
, we should keep an eye on the academic track
also
 which is important for the future of
children
.
