    1 mark

  2. Subject: Importance of physical education and need for a sports university

    Sir/Madam,

    Through your newspaper I wish to share my views on physical education. As the sports captain of my school, I believe that health is wealth. Games keep the body fit, refresh the mind and teach teamwork and discipline.

    Sadly, many young people now prefer video games to outdoor play, and open spaces are shrinking.

    I therefore suggest that more open spaces, gyms and yoga centres be created and that schools encourage sports. A dedicated sports university should also be established so that students can pursue their favourite sport alongside their studies.

    I hope the authorities will consider this suggestion.

    Yours faithfully,
    Risha Khan
