Personally, I consider PE to be the most important subject at school. Firstly, it is impossible to get rid of stress without PE classes during school hours. All the tests and exercises pupils have do to in all other classes are difficult and stressful and breaks are very short for relaxing. Consequently, without PE lessons, pupils will feel strained and will not be able to study well. Secondly, PE helps schoolchildren to be fit and slim. Sitting at the desk all day leads to a sedentary lifestyle. PE makes pupils’ lives physically active. As a result, they feel fit and do not gain weight.

Nevertheless, opponents claim that PE is not the most important discipline at school because it is more important to learn to write and to read, for example, or to calculate. These skills will be necessary when schoolchildren become adults. 

I do not agree with that opinion. Without PE lessons school students will not be able to have good results in maths and languages and in any other subjects because they will feel stressed and tired. 

Concluding this essay, I would like to emphasize that I support those people who think that PE is the most important subject at school. (237)
