Response to “A Plea for the Physical"

    Honestly, I am not a person who has a keen interest in sports and spends a lot of time hiking, running outside. However, I would still prefer staying outside, breathing the fresh air and communing with nature after long, tired weekdays filling with pressure and works. Physical work is very essential to our health for relieving stress by giving us an outlet for our anger,saddness, and other feelings. Also, I always feel relaxed when I lay on the grass enjoying the sunshine, or smell the fragrance of flowers after showers. I always walk home with my friends after school, talking about our favourite TV programs,or funny things happened around us. It promotes our friendship and helps us relieve stress, which I can never gain from computer or sleeping at home. Therefore, the physical is important for me.
