The task is to write an article for a school magazine explaining the negative and positive sides of the argument about whether sports lessons waste time at school. In Lesson 1, students complete a warm-up survey, read and analyse a model article through a split reading quiz, and practise 12 key vocabulary items. In Lesson 2, they plan and write their own article using the Exercise 6 prompt card, aiming for 120–160 words.
This unit completes a four-part writing series alongside the Fast Food essay, New Cinema review, and Art Exhibition report units. Together, they cover all four common Exercise 6 text types. The article is closest in style to the essay — both discuss an issue — but it is addressed to a school magazine readership, uses an engaging opening (often a rhetorical question), and typically presents both viewpoints as belonging to different groups of students rather than arguing for a personal position.
