Some people think that it’s beneficial for people to take part in team sports like football. Other think individual sports like swimming and running is better. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
题目大意
有人说团队运动对人有利（如足球）；也有人说个人运动如游泳或跑步更好。双边讨论并给出你的观点。
思路解析
双边讨论类的题目，可以自由讨论双方各自的利弊，我的观点可以是中立或单边支持。
我持中立立场——两个观点都是武断的，都不适用于100%的情况。
甲方：it’s beneficial for people to take part in team sports like football，其中benefits是很抽象的说法，没有考虑到不同的人情况可能不适应团队运动；
乙方：individual sports like swimming and running is better，这个better同样也是笼统的表达，没有考虑到不同的人情况，对有些人可能团队运动更合适；
提纲
写作示范
Some people claim that collective athletics such as football benefit people, while others prioritize fitness activities for individuals（e.g. swimming, running）. I would say both views are generalized conclusions based on particular experiences that fail to represent the entire picture.
The problem with those labelling team sports beneficial is the generalized definition of the so-called ‘beneficial’, which is an overarching concept that has to be contextualized to make sense. For the majority without special abilities, to participate in collective athletic activities such as football does help them to cultivate qualities like team spirit and sense of collaboration, making them contributive team members. However, the same collective athletics will be repulsive to those with aptitudes for specific sports – people excellent in swimming or running might have wasted their talents if enrolled in a football or baseball team. In this respect, to render team sports advantageous seems to be too general a claim.
By the same token, the opinion to venerate individual sports over their collective counterparts is also simplistic because the benefits are not universally applicable to everyone, given the discrete condition of individuals. While athletes with innate attributes do deserve personalized athletic training to maximize their strength, the same outcome doesn’t translate to mediocre ones as well – who may feel frustrated when assigned a task beyond their ability; rather, to play a supportive role in a team makes them more confident and then facilitate a sense of achievement.
It is my conclusion therefore, it is illogical to place a higher emphasize on one athletic model as opposed to the other – which sport (whether team or individual) deserves higher priority is a complicated issue that hinges on participants’ ability.
