III. READING
Read the following passage and do as direct.
My school in the United States is planning to introduce regular lessons on healthy eating habits. But is it
appropriate for schools to instruct students on what they should consume? One argument in favour of these
lessons is that some young people in the US have poor diets, with excessive sugar intake and not enough
vegetables. For example, they often consume too many sugary beverages, which can lead to dental problems.
Additionally, some young people don’t engage in enough physical activity, which can result in weight gain.
However, others argue that students should focus solely on academic subjects while in school. They believe
that it’s not the school’s role to teach children how to live their lives. Personally, I support the idea of having
a few lessons on healthy eating, but not on a weekly basis. I suggest that this topic be incorporated into biology
classes rather than being taught as a separate subject.
