Task 2: Some people think that it is more beneficial to take part in sports which are played in teams, like football, while other people think that taking part in individual sports, like tennis or swimming, is better. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Whether participation in team sports is of more benefit whereas other people tend to select personal sports is a matter of controversy. Some people claim that it is of benefit to their teamwork while others subscribe to that it may exert negative impacts on their future. My essay is going to analyze both sides of the issue and show my personal views.

In terms of psychology, taking part in team sports bestows people with gladness, inspiration when they meet a lot of people. Not only do they make new social friends, but they also could be best friends after a training session. Paradoxically, the majority of passive people or the person who want to prove their talents is prone to take part in personal sports, such as tennis or swimming. They feel at ease anxious, stressed when they are not covered by the crowd. Take me as a telling example, I am a passive person. To increase my health, I have joined in a swimming course. Although I am alone, it is my opportunity to show my talent in competition. As a result, I gain three bronze pedals. Even though it is not my expectation, it motivates me to make an effort to achieve higher results.

When it comes to awareness, team sports tend to nurture their team spirit and discipline. They will concentrate on practice seriously to contribute to building a strong squad in a teamwork environment. Not only do they improve their communication skill, but they also better their problem-solving skill, imagination and creativity. They can bear on pressure, share private stories, eat out, hang out together as a soulmate. From that, they have effort to do meaningful things in their life. Whereas the person who joins in individual sports realizes that they can solve everything themselves without depending on anyone, so they only want to enhance their health and perform themselves. Notwithstanding the lack of teamwork spirit, it improves creativity, imagination and health and help people discover their potential passion.

In summary, participation in sports is of various benefits. In my opinion, people should choose sensible sports to improve their health and skills to prepare for their future.
