Write about the following topic: “Do you think extra-curricular activities are important in a student’s life?” Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience
Nowadays, many educational institutions have extra
activities
such
as sports or community works. Additional activities
can facilitate both, physical and mental development; however
, a wrong approach may cause some drawbacks. In this
essay, I will address the advantages and disadvantages of extra-curricular activities
.
Convincing arguments can be made that additional activities
are important in a student's life. Firstly
, they make studies more interesting and fun. For example
, I had swimming as my extra classes at school
, I used to count days to the next
swimming activities
and all my studies were associated with something exciting. Additionally
, sports, as extra activities
facilitate a comprehensive learning environment where students are physically and mentally healthy. Meanwhile, I believe that these activities
should be chosen by students. The reason for this
is that all children
are unique and have different interests. While some students enjoy exploring science, others would rather prefer to do sports. Lastly
, children
's social skills may be fostered during teamwork.
Alternatively, extra activities
may disrupt children
from their studies. More specifically, children
are already overwhelmed with school
subjects, they barely have enough time to do their homework. Consequently
, more pressure at school
would make their lives stressful. A feasible solution for school
authorities would be to find a balance between the main curriculum and additional. For instance
, a school
curriculum can have a teamwork activity in a foreign language rather than an English language lesson.
To sum up, I would concede that additional activities
may attract children
from their main curriculum. Despite that, extra activities
can make studying interesting and enjoyable.Submitted by shoira.shakirovna on
