— We may have time to go for a walk or just relax talking with friends. — We could do part of the homework and have more free time when we come back home. — Those who live close to school could have lunch at home. |

One day off school to study on your own |
— I do not think many students will be for it. We will have seven or eight classes a day. — We will have much more homework to do and will be completely exhausted by the weekend. |
— We would have more time to do things we are really interested in. — We could have shorter breaks and we would not stay that long. |

One more PE (Physical Education) class |
— Classes are boring, we have to wait too long before we have a chance to practise any activity. — Many students don’t enjoy sports; they’d rather do something different; it’s much more fun to read a book or watch TV. — Some students are not good at sports; they don’t feel comfortable when they can’t handle things that others do quite easily. |
— It’s very good to have one more PE class a week because we will keep fit. — PE classes are sort of relaxation during a difficult day. — If we have one more PE class we will be able to do a greater variety of sports activities. |
