 system is now very advanced in today’s society
therefore
, some
parents
 think that their
children
 are under

 from those extra

However
, doing
such
activities
 can be beneficial. Do you think that

 as these
activities
 would help to relax the mind. There are several pros and cons of having additional
activities
 in school to boost the morale of the
children
. Let us examine those pro’s and con’s
further
.
Firstly
, there are many
parents
 who believe that it is better for
children
 to do educational
activities
 because in
this
 way
children
 do really well in the finals.
For example
, if
children
 do daily revision in their free
time
,
then
 they do not face any problem in the finals
as a result
, they perform better. If
children
 do educational
activities
 in their free
time
then
 they do not involve any other activity
such
 as playing games, mobile phone and other bad habits. There are lots of
parents
 who think that
this
 way
children
 are under
pressure
 because
children
 already spend 8 hours in school and after that, if they spend more
time
 in educational
activities
,
then
 they are under
pressure
.
On the other hand
, there are lots of ways that
children
 could spend their day.
For example
, they should do physical
activities
 in their free
time
 because it helps them to stay fit and healthy not only physically but
also
 mentally.
This
 way, it wouldn’t be too strenuous for
children
 to focus on preparing for their
exam

parents
 want their
children
 to be successful in their
career

careers

, but it does not mean that they should spend their free
time
 on educational
activities
. In my view,
children
 should spend their free
time
 in other curriculum
activities
 because it helps them to stay fit, healthy and relax their mind rather than putting more
pressure
