Most schools are planning to replace sports and exercise with more academic sessions. How will this change affect children's lives in your opinion?

In recent years, some schools plan to replace
sports
and exercise sessions, turning them into academic lessons. Personally, I do not agree with
this
statement, which is based on several reasons
such
as maintaining physical health and learning team spirits.
To begin
with,
sports
and exercise are essential to the students which help children to be fit and strong in their growing age.
Moreover
, it is compulsory for growing children to participate in physical activities for at least 1 hour a day. In fact, in recent years, scientists reported that children who are not actively participated in
sports
or workouts significantly cause obesity problems.
Thus
, these physical is essential for students and can not be replaced.
Second
,
sports
lessons are the best way to learn team spirit than other lessons. Most
sports
require forming a team and cooperating with your members, improving their communication skills, leadership, and obedience.
Furthermore
, these skills provide a great contribution, to getting into the working environment.
For instance
, in Hong Kong, a majority of the enterprises desire to hire someone willing to be cooperative and communicative, because it has proved that these abilities could stimulate working efficiency. In conclusion, I believe
sports
and exercise are compulsory and fundamental to students, and it is irreplaceable
although
pursuing academic results are important.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
