38.Some people think 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 is better like tennis and swimming.  
Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 
 
Sample answer: 
 
Team sports such as football, basketball, rugby, and individual sports such as tennis, chess, and 
swimming are equally popular. Each sport has its advantages. In fact, some people play football 
and tennis. However, in my opinion, team sports have an edge over their individual counterpart. 
In the following paragraphs, I shall discuss both sides and explain which is beneficial for the 
community in the long run. 
 
Team sports help develop the overall personality. Given a chance between exhibiting heroism 
and the team’s victory, one has to sacrifice the former for the latter. For example, in cricket, a 
batsman has to give priority to the team’s achievement over gaining individual scores. It also 
teaches the joy of togetherness and nurtures leadership skills. It also helps a person improve his 
relationship with others and develop communication skills, which are essential for survival. 
Above all, playing as a team is fun. 
 
On the other hand, individual sports have their own merits. A person is solely responsible for 
success or failure. So, there is an increased sense of ownership. One has to concentrate more on 
the activity because any small distraction will lead to failure. All the more, one has to depend on 
his skills for success. So, he/she learns to work hard to improve their skills. There is also 
unlimited freedom when playing individual sports. The choices are wholly made by the player, 
and there are no cases of disagreements with others. The player is the captain, as well as the team 
member.
