A school is an important place to student. It is where they spend the majority of their time during their school years. Therefore, it is important that the school provide a good environment for the students to develop both mentally and physically. For this reason, if I could make one change to the school I attend, I would add a large, modern gymnasium.

One reason I support the building of a modern gym is that physical education class is very important to the well-being of students. It provides us not only with exercise, but with a break from the mental rigors of our studies. However, without a large enough gym, must often cancel our P.E. class when the weather is bad and more classes must share the indoor space. A new gym would solve this problem. Another reason I would like to have a new gym is that more modern athletic facilities would allow us to practice a wider variety of sports. This would appeal to those students who are not physically active because they find the current sports that e play boring or difficult. In developing the lifelong habit of exercise, it is important for everyone to find something he enjoys. Finally, a big, new gymnasium could be used for other events as ll, such as class assemblies and performances.

For the reasons given above, I believe that a large, modern gymnasium could be a valuable addition to my school. It would encourage more students to exercise and allow them to do so on a more regular basis. In addition, it could be used by many school organizations and clubs for a variety of purposes. Therefore, I believe it is a practical suggestion.
