Studies have proven that school club activities are important to both the physical and mental development of children. In sports clubs kids play sports regularly, and under the guidance of their coaches, they improve their physical health. Moreover, children mix with friends from different classes in a new environment where they can learn, share, and appreciate each other. Also, when they work with new friends in a club, they will become more confident and independent. Furthermore, when children work together in a group to deal with a problem or to do tasks, they have to work together to think about what they should do to complete the task. They, therefore, can learn research and leadership skills. Many kids also find good role models in clubs, such as coaches or group leaders.

Ms Kate: Hi Vy. Why don't you join with your classmates in playing shuttlecock over there?

Vy: I'd like to. But they may not want me to join.

Ms Kate: Have you asked them yet?

Vy: I'm pretty sure that they will not let me join. They laugh at me in our maths class. I don't like maths, and I'm not good at it.

Ms Kate: Alright, Vy. So what subjects are you interested in?

Vy: English and history. I love reading about things that happened in the past. I can read in English, and I easily remember events.

Ms Kate: Wow. Not everyone does well in those subjects. You should be proud of that. So, you want to become a historian?

Vy: Definitely, Miss. But my classmates all laughed at me when I told them.

Ms Kate: Don't be nervous, Vy. You should be more confident in your abilities and don't be afraid to show others what you can do. I'll start a discussion in the school forum about respect soon ...
