Sports
These pictures show individual and team sports. Compare and contrast them. Include the
following points:
sports that are done in teams or individually
why people choose either individual or team sports
popular and successful sports in Hungary
sports you do in your school and in your free time.
There are many different types of sports, some of them are done individually, others in teams. Most
ball games, such as football, handball, basketball, baseball, volleyball, rugby or ice- and field hockey
are done in teams. Others, such as swimming, athletics, skiing, combat sports and tennis, are done
individually. Some people like to be part of a team. They like the feeling that they can rely on others,
that when they win or lose they do it together. Those people would probably do team sports. Others
like to achieve results alone, so if anything goes wrong they can only blame themselves. Some of
them feel that they don't want to depend on others. They would most probably do individual sports.
It also happens sometimes that a person simply likes a particular sport or it is a family tradition and
they start doing it regardless of their personality. Hungary has some very popular and successful
sports. Football is probably the most popular, although we are not particularly successful in it at the
moment. Lots of people like handball and water sports such as swimming or water polo. Events draw
huge crowds when the national team or athletes are competing in these sports. We also have great
gymnasts and boxers and we have had huge successes in the kayaking and canoeing too.
My school has an indoor and an outdoor sports field. We usually do gymnastics inside or we use the
weights and other machines, and we play basketball or indoor football. We can also play football
outside, or do athletics when the weather is fine. We have access to the town swimming pool and
the ice rink once a week. We are very lucky that we can use them; we have had some great times
there.
I like handball the most, I go to training once a week in the community centre. I play with friends
there and this year we participated in the town championship. We had lots of fun.

What are the advantages/ disadvantages of watching TV? First of all, watching television after a hard
day in school or at work is very relaxing. It helps you forget your problems. It is also entertaining and
educational. We can obtain a lot of information and knowledge from the programmes. Finally,
television keeps us upto-date on what is happening around the world.
What do you think of TV commercials? In my opinion, there are too many commercials. It is very
annoying that films are interrupted several times by ads and the same commercials are played over
and over again. I know that ads help the channels make money to stay alive and they might also be
useful for customers because they inform people about new products, but I think they should be
shown between and not during programmes.
