• As fitness is such an important ingredient of success, I believe that schools should require students to engage in some physical activity every day.

• Topic Sentence (the subject of the essay): ____________________________________
• Mandatory physical exercise would benefit students in many ways. First of all, regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. However, with their busy schedules, many students may not have the opportunity to exercise at home and so may become weaker. If schools allow students to do some physical activity every day, they will be happier and healthier students. Second, doing some sports during the school day will give the students a break and allow them to relax their minds. They will be able to return to their studies refreshed and with more energy to learn. Finally, by encouraging students to develop the habit of regular exercise, schools will help them stay fit and healthy all their lives.
