Your class has taken part in an online debate about participation in organised sport by young people.
You have made the notes below:
Benefits of being active: • Learn to work as a team • Ensures good work/life balance • Encourages a healhy lifestyle |
Some opinions expressed in the discussion: “Being in a team means people get competitive, which I hate.” "After a long day of study, I don’t have the energy to go and play football." “I feel so much less stressed when I find time for a class at the gym, but a walk outside is just as beneficial.” |
Write an essay discussing two of the benefits of being active. You should explain which one is the most achievable for young people, giving reasons in support of your answer.
You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the discussion, but you should use your own words as far as possible.
