[Natalina A]

Some people prefer to play team sports, while others prefer to play individual sports. Discuss the advantages of each. Then indicate which you prefer and why.

Probably, I will not tell you a secret if I say that sport plays a great role in our life. It is also known that the reason of its popularity is not only that sport is a well known method to keep fit, be healthy and beautiful, nice entertainment and recreation. Actually, nowadays, sports, both team and individual, is an integrated part of politics and business, which really lets to earn much money and perhaps this fact makes our passion to it even greater. As for me, I like different kinds of sports independently if it is team or individual one. But frankly speaking, in some situations I give preferences to one of them.

First I'd like to speak about advantages of team sports. As for me, all kinds of team sports can be not only a nice entertainment but also a perfect training. Team games usually develop skills of working in group, contribution and, of course, leadership. I like to watch them more then to play. It is interesting for me to define a leader in the team and spy upon him or her. Actually, I have made an interesting own revelation – real team leaders are not always the captains of the team. Unfortunately, the same sometimes happens in other shears of life.

As for the advantages of the individual sports, I'd like admit, that besides it gives vivid profits to the health and body, I think it also adds much to the ability of the person to struggle. Winning in sport games, successful sportsman achieves a success in all other fields. Actually I like this idea very much and that is why I feel an excitement both while watching some individual sports and even more while playing myself. In my school years I went info tennis. That is why till now I like this kind of sport mostly. According to my trainer’s words, tennis is the sport for aristocrats, that means that the movements of tennis players should be gentle, but at the same time accurate.

Thus, there is no doubt for all of us that sport is very significant part of our life. It gives us not only an opportunity to be healthy and beautiful, but also a chance to be successful. As for me I like almost all kinds of sport games, but still myself I prefer to play individual sports, because it helps me to keep fit and always rush to the victory.

hi you guys, I also have a witting on this topic. Can anyone check for us? Thanks

Nowadays, sport plays a great role in our life because it is not only a beautiful, nice entertainment but also helps people to keep fit and be healthy. While some people prefer to play team sports, others prefer to play individual. In my opinion, both have its advantages but I agree with the former for many reasons.
First of all, I would like to speak about advantages of team sports. In fact, this kind of sports usually develops skills of working in group, contribution and of course, leadership. In fact, these skills are not only very important in sports but in other fields as well such as in business or study. A person can not live and do many things without helping from others like friends, family or colleagues. Therefore, cooperation is necessary and beneficial for everyone. And playing team sports is a good way to practice it.
Moreover, playing with other people is more exciting and funnier than playing individual. We can meet more people and build more relationships. Also, if a member does not play well, other members of the team will always help and teach him. In addition, I might feel more confident and less nervous when playing with many people in real matches because I know I am not alone and other members always behind, stand by me.
On the other hand, it is more comfortable to play individual. In some cases, if a person is very excellent at a sport, playing with others as a team can make him difficult to expose his ability as much as possible because the rest of the team are not as good as he is. Also, we do not have to wait for others to play together; we can play whenever we want. So it saves us a lot of time and we will feel more comfortable.
To sum up, I think it is more interesting to play team sports than individual sports. It helps me to harmonize with my friends or even my family. The more times I play with them, the much we understand each others.

The importance of choosing
subjects

Study is ticket to the future. Students need to study the basic subjects as a national language, mathematics, history and others. However, students must know whom they want to be in the future, and they should take that subjects who them really need to become a good specialist. Therefore, I agree that the high schools should allow students to study the courses that they want to study.
If the high school gave subjects to the student, it can adversely affect to the student’s studying. For example, I interesting in information technologies, but my school gave me some other subjects which have not denomination contacts with my major. Day by day I became not a professional specialist in my major.
When the students chooses a subjects, they responsibility before themselves and before they high school will rises. They will strive for their goals and they will be interesting in to obtain a result which they anticipate. In that case, they can influence to the society with themselves knowledge; increase the national potential in the all direction.
In conclusion, to allow the students choose the subjects can bring good results. But we must remember that the students subjects should be overlap in his or her major. Otherwise student can mixed in the unsuitable subjects.
