School life

Usually we see two types of students: those who are active in school activities and those who spend more time on their studies and do not take part in school activities.The students who are active in school activities say that it is imposibble to keep in good health unless they take insufficient physical recreation. They often cite the saying:" All word and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The students who do not take part in school activities have a different opinion. The argue that art is long, but life is short, and that school life is still shorter; so the have to make the most of their limited school days to learn as much as they can so that they can be fully prepared to make contributions to the society after graduation.
I prefer to be one of the first type because I think good health is indispensable to knowledge-acquisition. Facts show that students who are in poor health are less vigorous and energetic than those who are in good health. Healthy and strong students can absorb knowledge more readily. And a good way to keep us healthy and strong is to go in for activities such as boating, cycling, tennis-playing, dancing and fishing, ets., which are beneficial both to our muscles and to our brains.
When we take part in any of these activities, no only our bodies are trained but also our minds are taken off from our work or study for a while and get relaxed. As a result, we become more acute and vigorous, and our studies can be improved.
