Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by 
increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this 
would have little effect on public health and that other measures are 
required. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
While some argue that building more sports facilities is the best possible 
method of improving public health, others believe that this approach is not 
very effective, and other actions are needed. I agree with the latter opinion 
as although doing sports plays a key role in leading a healthy way of life, 
mass educational activities about different ways of health improvement 
are a better option because they can target more people.
On the one hand, doing sports influences people’s health and well
-being 
enormously. Not only does it make us stronger and more resilient, but it 
also trains our cardiovascular systems and, thus, reduces the chances to 
die earlier than we could have. In contrast, those who lead a sedentary

lifestyle deprive themselves of these benefits. Hence, the more sports 
facilities will be available to the public, the more people could do sports 
and, thus, stay healthy. However, I do not agree that this is the best way 
to improve public health as the majority of people either just do not want 
to or can not go in for sports because of different reasons.
On the other hand, informing and educating people about different ways 
of improving their health is a foundation of health and well-being. If 
people knew the consequences of drinking too much alcohol and why they 
need to eat healthy food and avoid ultra-processed food, for example, 
then they would take a more sensible approach to their health and would 
have more motivation. Hence, I am convinced that this approach is much 
better than just opening more sports facilities as it targets all people and 
not just a small part of them.
To conclude, although opening more sports facilities will make some 
people healthier, I believe that educating people is more important as it 
will target more people overall.
