SPORTS ESSAY
It is often said that exercise is an essential activity in our lives. For some, it is a source of motivation. For others, it is simply their way of living. This essay raises the issue of sport, summarizing and assessing the ideas expressed in the texts above.
Both texts address the question of physical activity for teenagers from the perspectives of teachers and students, respectively. On the one hand, the National Sports Academy, organization mentioned in the first text, fosters and highlights the importance of sport for students. From their point of view, sport is very beneficial as it not only contributes to young people’s overall health, but also reduces the risk of developing numerous diseases. Furthermore, they claim that students can enjoy themselves and become more mature as a result. No one would dispute these arguments since they are all proved scientific facts and such benefits have been previously promoted by many individuals.
In contrast to these ideas, the second text reveals the opinions of teenagers in regards to this topic. According to the survey conducted, girls are embarrassed to practice sport with boys. Moreover, both boys and girls do not fancy the sportswear and complain at the few activities to choose from. Personally, I believe that instead of fulfilling all the students’ requests, it would be convenient to encourage teens to practice sport through the arrangement of sports festivals or marathons.
In conclusion, although the reality is that young people nowadays do not view exercise as a routine, it is essential for both teachers and parents alike to find the means to help teenagers be more active and start enjoying all the positive effects of doing so.

Seems ok to me but I point out I am not an examiner, I have no idea how they mark these things.
NB proven = the word we use for past of proofing something. The only obvious mistake I could see.
proof, proven, proofed: common mistaken words I suggest you study their definitions in a dictionary.

Your essay seems to be quite good. I am not teacher, niether would I claim to be an expert. However, I have taken the liberty of adding my suggestions (in red), that in my opinion, enhance the semantic structure.
