IELTS WRITING: TEAM SPORTS vs INDIVIDUAL SPORTS

IELTS Writing Task 2:

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

 

 

 

 

SAMPLE ESSAY

 

It is often thought that participating in team sports is more advantageous, other people, on the other hand, believe that playing individual sports is a better option. In my opinion, I consider joining team sports as more valuable as it particularly teaches people the importance of collaboration (the act of working with other people or organizations to achieve something) needed in society.   

 

On the one hand, some people believe that taking part in team sports such as football or basketball educates people about the value of cooperation or teamwork and I agree. This value is essential to achieve better relationships with others. Through taking part in team sports, people cultivate (develop) the habit of giving importance to everyone’s helpful ideas or strategies, or of appreciating others’ efforts. This is essential in almost all aspects of life to succeed. For example, at the workplace, leaders want their subordinates (people or workers under the authority of a leader in an organization) to bring together (make people do something together) and do the job harmoniously as it is already proven that collaboration is the key to success.   

 

On the other hand, it is argued (contend or assert typically with the aim of persuading others to share one’s view) that doing individual sports is better since it promotes self-reliance and self-discipline. When people play that type of sport, they only need to rely on their skills and their judgment. Thus (as a result), they have to develop self-discipline to succeed. These two values are important elements in life to attain personal goals. People who develop these attitudes learn the value of individualism (the principle of being independent and self-reliant) and that is good for personal gains (benefits or advantages that relate to a particular person rather than to a business or organization).   

 

In conclusion, while people have different views, I think taking part in team sports is better as it teaches people cooperation which is needed to achieve a harmonious society.
