I am writing this letter to draw your attention to the importance of extracurricular activities in every school and educational center. Many institutions only focus on studies and ignore activities such as sports, debates, speeches and cultural programmes. Such activities are very important for the physical and mental development of students.

They help students build confidence, improve communication skills and develop teamwork and leadership qualities. Students also feel fresh and active when they participate in healthy activities. Therefore, schools should arrange different educational and recreational activities regularly.
