17- Read the following and then answer the questions :

The ancient Greeks always asserted that a healthy mind in a healthy body is the key to a well-
balanced life. Nowadays many schools are decreasing the amount of time given to spots, and
some schools are removing it altogether. Although academic subjects are certainly a very
important part of the school curriculum, I am strongly opposed to the complete removal of sports.

Firstly , schools have a responsibility to educate children in all areas. For that reason, it is just
as important to provide sports practice for the professional sportsmen and women of the future,
as it is to provide academic training to those who will go on to university.

In addition, students these days spend long hours studying or working at their computers.
Therefore, they need the opportunity to do some physical activity during the school day. This will
not help to increase their level of fitness and make them healthier , it will also mean that they
develop better social skills and are able to concentrate on their studies for longer, and thus
achieve better result.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that sports should remain a key part of the school curriculum. All children
have the right to get a balanced education, and they should not be deprived of the opportunity to learn how
to play sports .
