    Level 3 - Write an essay

    It's important for all young people to take an active part in team sports.
    It teaches them useful skills for their adult life. Do you agree or disagree
    with this statement? Write about 250 words.

    Sport and life skills

    1. Begin by deciding whether you agree or disagree with the


    statement and think up three or four reasons to support your
    opinion.

    The following ideas may help you:

    agree - team sport helps develop responsibility, fitness, competitiveness,


    cooperation

    disagree - can achieve these through individual sports, school work, being
    in a family

    2. Plan your essay carefully.

    Use paragraphs to separate out ideas. You will probably need to use three
    or four different paragraphs here. Look at the following essay plan and
    decide if you could use it.

    paragraph one - disagree with statement

    paragraph two - list reasons above

    paragraph three - say why sport is important for general health

    paragraph four - say something about your own routine and sport, and
    draw a simple conclusion

    3. Try to use some of the following vocabulary and expressions in


    your essay:

    3. Try to use some of the following vocabulary and expressions in

    4. Use the Writing Tips to help you and look at the Word Bank
    Sport for more words and phrases if you need them.

    Sport and life skills

    I disagree with the statement that all young people need to participate in
    team sports.

    In my opinion, there are many other ways they can learn the skills they
    need for adult life. You can learn self-discipline and a sense of
    responsibility by playing golf or by being a long-distance runner. Neither
    of these are team sports. You don't need to be an athlete, to take part in
    races or run around on a football pitch to learn to be competitive or a
    good loser. You can do this by playing cards or board games. These are
    not sports. They are hobbies. It is not necessary to be on a sports ground
    to learn team skills either. You can learn those by working with classmates
    on school projects or just by sharing a home with brothers and sisters.

    However, I do believe that it is important for young people to do some


    kind of regular sport. This is because we spend a lot of our time studying
    or sitting in front of a computer. If your town has a leisure centre or a
    sports field, this will be easier to organise.

    Many young people are now very keen on keeping fit in my country.
    Some of my friends belong to sports clubs and many of us go to the

    gym or to the local swimming pool. I also enjoy playing tennis against
    my brother. There is a tennis court next to our block of flats and we often
    play there in the evenings. I am lucky to live in a community where there
    are many possibilities for young people to do sport if they want to. But it
    is also important to remember that doing a lot of sport does not mean
    you will grow into a responsible adult! Life is not that simple.

    Note

    The words in bold in the model essays are topic vocabulary that you can
    learn by looking them up in the Word Banks or in the Longman Essential
    Activator. Try and use these words when writing about these particular
    topics. In addition, typical phrases and expressions are underlined in some
    essays to show you how to link your sentences or paragraphs.
