Why everyone at school should have to do athletics?

Since persuasive writing exam is coming up our

class is doing ours on athletics because athletics

is coming up.

Do you think that everyone at school should have

to do athletics? I do for many reasons which I will

tell you below.

Firstly people at school need to stay fit in case

of obesity. Did you know that around 1 in 8 children

aged 2-14 is obese. Doing athletics would help prevent this because you will become active.

Another reason athletics should be compulsory is

that it has been said that the people that are active

get better grades at school, that leads to better jobs

and so on.

If you don’t do athletics then what are you going to

do in your free time? Go on your electronic devices

just what I thought. Going on electronic devices will

lead to bad eyesight and if you carry on then you

could become blind.

Athletics is fun. People may think that no sports can

be fun and only computers or phones can be. WRONG! Most people who are in the Olympics only get there because they enjoy the sport and they

train.

It is not only obesity that you prevent from happening

it also helps your mental health and your mental well being. It does this because athletics and other sports

you must communicate in. Also being fit can make you happy by being able to keep up with your friends who might be athletic superstars.

Overall everyone should do athletics because it is

fun, you don’t want to become blind, become obese or

get a bad job. Please give it a go, you may love it then wonder what life was like without it.
