You have listened to a radio discussion programme about how to motivate children to do regular exercise. You have made the notes below:

Ways of motivating children to do regular exercise:

- parental example
- government funding
- school

Some opinions expressed in the discussion:

- If children don't see their parents do exercise, they don't think it's important
- If sports facilities were cheaper, more people would use them
- Sport in schools is too competitive. It should be fun for everyone.

1. from the sheet

Nowadays it is a commonplace to demand from the government subsidising of any social activity, for instance encouraging children to get used to keep healthy.

However, I believe that it is the parental model, as well as school programmes, which can change kids' attitude to regular physical activity.

First of all, it is obvious that the parents are the most significant figures for a child.

Consequently, the parental physical activity will inevitably involve children into it.

As old saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

So, it is crucial for the parents really do regular exerxises because pretending would be easily understood and put off by their children.

This has apparent psychological roots in surviving behaviour according to what one must get rid of anything not leading to successful surviving in a harmful environment where our ancessors lived.

As for school physical traning, it is also really helpful to adjust children to doing regular exercises.

School lessons involve the whole group of children into physical activity which leads to a competition.

The competition is one of the main ways to get attuned to a hazardous surrounding of our predesessors.

Children unconciously want to be stronger, quicker and more dexterous than the others.

Thus, it is suggested using this psychological trick to achieve the very aim.

To conclude, I would like to say that only the methods that somehow connected with the instinctive mechanisms will help to make children to be fit and healthy by regular phisical activity.

Once being accustomed to it, children will keep on taking it all their life.

2. compiliing

Nowadays it is a commonplace to demand from the government to subsidise any social activity, for instance encouraging children to get used to everyday physical activity.

However, I believe that it is the parental model, with a little help from school lessons, that can change kids' attitude to sport.

First of all, it is obvious that the parents are the most significant figures in children's life.

Consequently, the parental physical activity will inevitably involve children into itself.

As old saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

So, it is crucial for the parents really take, for example, every morning jogging, because pretending or just claiming would be easily understood by their children and they would put off the whole idea.

This phenomenon has apparent psychological roots in the instinctive behaviour of our ancessors - a kid must get rid of anything that does not lead to successful surviving in a harmful environment.

So, everything artificial would be neglected.

As for school physical tranings, they are also very helpful for the purpose.

School lessons involve the whole group of children into physical activity which leads to a competition among them.

The competition is one of the main methods that the nature uses for evolution.

Children unconciously want to be stronger and quicker than the others because this has an instinctive positive stimulation.

To conclude, I would like to say that only the methods that somehow connected with the instinctive mechanisms will help to make children to be fit and healthy by everyday sport activity.

I believe that being once accustomed to it, children will keep on taking it all their life.

Nowadays it is a commonplace to demand from the government to subsidise any social activity, for instance encouraging kids to get used to everyday physical activity. However, I believe that it is the parental model with a little help from school lessons that can change children's attitude to it.

First of all, it is obvious that parents set an example to their offspring. Consequently, children will be involved in parental physical activity. As the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. So, it is crucial for parents to really take, for example, daily jogging, because pretending or just claiming would be easily revealed by their children and they would put off the whole idea. Psychological roots of this phenomenon lie in the instinctive behaviour of our ancestors - a kid must get rid of anything that does not lead to successful surviving in a harmful environment. Thus, all artificial performances would be neglected.

As for school physical training, they are also likely to benefit the purpose. School lessons involve the whole group of children into physical activity which leads to a competition among them. As it known, the competition is one of the main methods that Nature uses for evolution. Children unconsciously aspire to be stronger and quicker than the others because this has an instinctive positive stimulation.

To conclude, I would like to say that only teaching methods that are somehow connected with the innate psychological mechanisms will contribute to making children to be fit and healthy by everyday sports activity. I believe that if children get accustomed to fun and games, they will keep on that way all their life.
