【题目解析】

题目大意：家长应该鼓励孩子减少学习时间，而去花更多时间参加体育活动，你是否同意？

题型特点：同意与否类题型，需要提出观点并陈述理由。

本文论文推进：开头段提出支持家长鼓励学生参与体育活动。让步段解释部分家长对于学生减少学习时间的担忧，反驳段则分别陈述参加体育活动对于孩子身心健康的积极影响。结尾重申观点。

【难点】

题目是从家长视角出发，讨论是否应该鼓励孩子参加体育锻炼而牺牲学习时间，而不能仅仅探讨参加体育活动所带来的利弊问题。

【写作思路】

开头段：孩子的学业表现是大多数家庭最为重视的，因此如何合理地分配时间也成了家长担忧的事。表明观点——我个人认为家长应该鼓励孩子多参与体育锻炼。

主体段1（让步段）：虽然鼓励孩子花更多时间参与体育锻炼可能会导致学习成绩下滑，而且家长的鼓励可能会让孩子以参与体育锻炼为借口逃避相对无聊的学习，对孩子的学业发展产生负面影响。

主体段2：但是，通过鼓励规律的体育锻炼活动来促进孩子的身心健康更值得重视。一方面积极参加体育锻炼有助于保持身体健康，这是保证持久学习的先决条件。另一方面，家长也应该通过恰当地鼓励孩子运动来帮助他们缓解压力。

结尾段：总的来说，考虑到其对于身心方面的积极影响，家长应该鼓励孩子分配更多时间去参与体育活动，而且如果安排合理，这也能一定程度上促进学习。

【参考范文】

Children’s academic performance is given top priority to most families, and how to reasonably allocate time has become the prime concern for parents. From my perspective, parents should encourage children to participate in more physical activities even though it may inevitably sacrifice the precious learning time. 

Admittedly, encouraging children to spend more time on getting involved in physical exercise may possibly lead to the potential risk of slipping test scores periodically, which is particularly noteworthy under the present education system, where the exam grade is still the most critical and direct criterion to determine whether a child can be admitted to an ideal school and have a bright future. What is more, parents’ encouragement may even provide the incentive for children to escape relatively boring academic learning with the plausible excuse of doing physical activities, which will also exert negative impact on children’s academic progress. 

However, promoting children’s physical health and mental well-being through encouraging routine physical activities should be attached more importance. For one thing, taking an active part in doing physical activities is beneficial to maintaining body fitness, which is a prerequisite for persistent study. As is known to all, academic learning process generally means long periods of sedentary study, participating in more sports activities can effectively help children to avoid the potential health risk, such as obesity and nearsightedness problems. For another, parents can help to relieve their children’s stress by pushing them to take exercise, given that the resulting hormonic level change of engaging in physical activities is conducive to the release of tension derived from the busy study schedule, which is also of great value to improve learning efficiency in the long term.

In conclusion, I believe that parents should encourage children to allocate more time to doing physical activities considering the positive influences both physically and mentally and if arranged properly, it can also, to some extent, facilitate the learning process.
