dse english compo about PE lessons

There is talk of certain schools removing PE lessons from the curriculum so students can concentrate more on academic subjects. Write a letter to the secretary of Education expressing your views on this proposal.

Dear sir/madam,

Recently, whether PE lessons should be kept within curriculum has become the talk of the town. It has been suggested that PE lessons should be removed from the curriculum in order to let students concentrate more on academic subjects. I do not agree with this proposal and I am going to express my views in the following.

To begin with, PE lessons are important, if nit significant, to students’ physical health. Nowadays, students are busy with their schoolwork. When they have time, they may have to go to tutorial schools or attend extra lessons. As a result, many students do not spend time on doing sports. Only through PE lessons can students have some exercises. Moreover, exercises can increase the learning efficiency of students. Therefore, it is undoubted that PE lessons should be kept.

Furthermore, PE lessons can make students feel relaxed. The learning atmosphere in Hong Kong is very stressful. Students may have huge burdens on their shoulders and need to fight for a place to study in university. In order to further their studies, they have to work around the clock and bury themselves into their studies. Having PE lessons is one of the ways to make students feel relaxed. During exercises, our body will produce a ‘happy’ hormone called Endorphins which can make people feel happy and less stressed. Together with the support of schoolmates, students can become motivated again and their academic results can be boosted. Therefore, having PE lessons is conducive to students.

Last but not least, Students mat get sick easily if PE lessons are removed from the curriculum. Having enough exercises can strengthen our immune system as mentioned before, most if the students lack time to do exercises. Having PE lessons is the only way they can exercise. If PE lessons are removed, students may get sick easily. Consequently, students’ academic result may be affected by skipping lessons at school. Having PE lessons can lower the chance of being sick. Therefore, PE lessons are crucial for students.

All in all, removing PE lessons from the curriculum does more harm than good to students. I believe that the health of students is of the utmost importance. Without a healthy body, having excellent academic performance is useless.

Yours faithfully, Chris Wong
