題目: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 Madam,
I am writing reference to the proposal that advocates the removal of Physical Education. It is obvious that PE lesson is a compulsory subject at primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, which shows the importance and necessity to student. I will provide strong evidence and several reasons to prove that cutting PE lessons will do more harm than good.
Someone may say that Physical Education is irrelevant to academic performance and it is useless for helping student to attend university. While I see their point, it is believed that PE lesson may not help student on that way directly. However, extra-curricular activity also has been a consideration on admission to university nowadays. Student would get extra points as they have good achievement on inter-school competitions. Hence, Physical Education can provide an opportunity to discover student’s interest and potential.
Removing PE lessons from the curriculums cannot help student more concentrate on learning. The proposal insists that student would focus on academic subjects as removes PE lessons, but this argument is invalid. There are no any reasons student would be good on study without PE lessons. Apart from the unreasonable sequitur, the PE lesson has been overstating. At secondary school, there are only 2 hours a week for this lesson. Is those 2 hours can make a change for student effectively? No one believes that it is work at all. Thus, there is a doubt on the influence from the proposal.
The most important is that the existence of PE lesson makes student more concentrated on study. Hundreds of thousands of students claim that large amount of homework and long learning time brings tremendous pressure.
