The key answer of exercise 2

Suggested Answer

A

Hi Alison,

Thanks for your email. I’m glad to hear you are trying to lose weight. You will soon have more energy and feel better, I'm sure! I think I can give you some advice.

First of all, exercise is really important. Exercise burns calories, and also helps to make your metabolism work better. It's fun, too! For these reasons, it will help you lose weight more than anything else. Also, it is a good idea to eat a balanced diet. If you eat a variety of healthy food, you will not feel hungry. Therefore, you won't overeat. But don't cut out your favourite foods completely. If you do this you will only want them more and as a result, you will feel unhappy.

I hope my advice helps you. If you eat well and exercise, I think you will find it easy to lose weight, and you will feel great too! Let me know how it goes.

Best wishes,

Sophie.

Team sports are probably the most popular sports, both to play and to watch. Millions of people enjoy football, cricket and basketball, and it’s not difficult to see why. However, team sports offer both advantages and disadvantages.

The first and most important benefit of participating in team sports is that you learn how to work as part of a team. Working together and not against each other means that every player in a team sport contributes according to their strengths and weaknesses and that everyone in a team shares the joy of victory and the disappointment of losing. Another advantage of team sports is that they provide a fantastic opportunity for socialising. People often start a team sport not only to improve their physical condition and relieve stress but also as a way to meet new people with similar interests. On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages to doing team sports. For instance, some players might not be as good as others. This can cause arguments and create unnecessary competitiveness among members of the same team. Also, sometimes team sports may be difficult to organize. When a number of people need to coordinate and arrange practice time, it may be hard to satisfy every player's needs and this could lead to more disagreement or unfriendliness.

In conclusion, participating in team sports has both advantages and drawbacks. I believe that people should try both team and individual sports and make a choice according to what satisfies their individual needs. Doing sports should be an enjoyable experience that relaxes, stimulates, cultivates and improves physical and mental skills.
