Morning Runs

Official Question Material
Prep: Varies

Official Audio Prompt

Three students were talking about the school's new plan to make morning runs mandatory. One student was pleased about it. She said she's busy after school with homework and piano, so morning runs would help her stay fit and feel more awake in class. She was also in favor of running with friends. But another student didn't like the plan at all. He said he's not a morning person and would be too tired all day. He also mentioned that some students, like his friend Lily, who has asthma, can't run for health reasons. Plus, he lives far from school and would have to wake up very early. The third student tried to find a middle ground. He suggested making the runs optional and giving rewards, like extra PE points, to students who join. He also said the school could move runs indoors when it rains. The first student liked that idea and said maybe a free snack after the run would encourage more people to join. The second student agreed that snacks might help but worried about students like Lily missing out on PE points. He also said the early timing was a problem. So the third student suggested letting students with health issues do yoga instead and offering two run times-8 AM and 9 AM-to help those who live far away. Everyone liked these ideas. They agreed that the runs should be optional, with rewards like snacks and PE points. There should be choices for students with health problems and flexible timing. In the end, they decided to talk to their PE teacher and maybe start a petition to share their suggestions.
