Task 2

You are members of Student Union. You want to promote longer sleeping hours and more sports to your schoolmates. Write a letter to the editor.

Dear Editor,

Hong Kong students face an unusual health risk. They have too much homework and workload to cope with tests and examinations. Most of them sleep only six to seven hours a day. There is very little time for them to do sport exercises after school.

I would like to suggest three things to promote longer hours of sleep and doing more exercises among students.

To increase at least one more tutorial session to our class time-table can help students finish their home work before they leave school every day. So, they have more time to do exercise and to sleep.

Another suggestion I would like to make is to reduce our study load. Teachers can cut down the number of home works and tests. So, students do not need to spend too much time finish their school works at home.

Lastly, I would like to suggest reducing the amount of TSA tests. This is quite a workload to most students. We must also use our class time to finish the tests.
I would rather spend the time studying than doing the tests.

Having longer hour of sleep and more exercises can reduce health risk students are facing. This also promotes healthy life style.
