<< Students should be required to participate in PE classes a few times a week, though this does not have to be everyday, because these classes are to improve physical and mental strength of students, and to establish sound relationship among them. Some may say that students should spend all of their time on studying, however, this seems untrue. The first reason students should be required to take PE classes is that students can improve their physical and mental strength through these classes. In PE classes, students have to do sports such as running, gymnastics, soccer, basketball and so forth. It is obvious that they contribute to physical strength of students, because they are forced to participate in these activities and practice them over and over. Moreover, students are forced to participate whether or not they like, thus by enduring unpleasant situation where they are forced to participate in some activities, say long distance running, they can improve their mental strength and patience. The second reason students should spend their time on PE classes is that it seems to be possible for students to have more opportunities to communicate with their classmates. It is always a good means of making friends to do sporting activities together, which is especially the case in sports that you have to play in teams. If students play, say, basketball, in PE classes, they have to practice and play in teams. They have to cooperate each other in order to improve their skills in basketballs and to win games. Under these circumstances, it is often observed that students can get close to each other more easily and quickly. This is because they come to share the same goals to improve the team in the classes, which also brings some opportunities to get together outside the classes. Some may say that students only have to stick to their classrooms and study, since students can do sports outside and after schools. It is true that some students like to do this. However, more importantly, PE class still seems important because some students do not like to play outside doing some sports instead just doing some computer games, reading books, watching TV and others may be busy too buys studying even at clam schools after schools. Thus, it is important for them to provide some opportunities to improve their strengths and to make friends at schools. In conclusion students should be required to take PE classes at schools. Although some may say that students should only study, since they can do sporting activities outside the schools, this hardly seems true. Students should be given through PE classes to time to spend their time on sports so that they can improve themselves, and that they can make friends with other students easily.
