参考范文  

Some people believe that parents should encourage children to do more physical exercise, even though this possibly means less time spent on studies. Considering the declining health of many students, I agree with this opinion.     

Undoubtedly, children should participate in more sports activities to improve their physical health. Lack of exercise is causing a series of health problems to children. Spending too much time on sedentary activities such as reading books and watching movies on electronic devices leads to weight gain and nearsightedness. Not getting enough exercise also affects the normal growth of children’s bones and muscles. Only by encouraging children to take part in sports activities can these problems be avoided. This will occupy some time that can otherwise be spent on children’s study, but the benefits of exercise are obvious. Good health can guarantee that students have sufficient energy for their studies and will not be absent from class on sick leave.

In addition, doing physical exercise is an effective way to relieve emotional stress that arises from continuous study. Many children are experiencing anxiety because of busy schedules in school and loads of assignments. If they could take a break by playing basketball or running a few laps in their spare time, they would be able to reduce their anxiety and release their negative emotions. In the process of doing exercise, their bodies can produce some chemical substances that make them happy and relaxed. When they return to study, higher efficiency can be achieved.   

Overall, doing physical activities is important to children’s health and if arranged properly, it can also facilitate children’s study.
