【190725】体育课应当变成强制要求么？

Some people believe that sport is an essential part of school life for children and should be required to engage in mandatorily in schools. By contrast, others claim it should be purely optional. Discuss these opposing views and give your own opinion.

问题的核心在于是否应该强制要求。

People have divergent opinions regarding whether the sport should become a mandatory lesson for children. In my opinion, while there exist some concerns regarding setting sport as a mandatory subject, it has more benefits in general.

On the one hand, concerns regarding mandatory PE classes can be attributed to the competitive studying schedule and students‘ freedom of choice. Firstly, some people feel that sport uses up time, which could be better spent on academic subjects such as exam preparation. Besides, it might be said that it is unwise to force children to engage in activities, which they have no interest. After all, some youngsters are just not sporty and should be allowed to study instead.

On the other hand, despite the concerns above, requiring students to take PE classes compulsory is more beneficial. One significant benefit of sport is that it helps children’s physical development at a critical stage. If all their time were spent studying, they would become unfit, and their minds would eventually/ ultimately suffer.

In my opinion, I feel that sport should be compulsory for school children because of the positive effect on their mental and physical development outweighs the negatives. This is as long as children are given a wide range to choose from, to ensure their interest is high, and that the sports industry itself maintains the highest standards of conduct.

In conclusion, I believe that requiring compulsory PE lessons make more sense.
