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。

这是一道双边讨论类的题目，讨论的是团队运动和个人运动哪个对个人更有利。团队vs个人是写作中一定要复习的一个话题，可能会和学习、运动、工作还有教育相结合，因此大家可以着重准备下。具体到这次的题目，整体难度不高，双边类题目可以自由讨论双方各自的利弊，持中立或单边支持的立场。这题我们建议持中立立场——两个观点都有武断的地方，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；

下面月半鸭来和大家一起看下具体内容。

首先是团队运动，其好处有两方面，

一是参与者可以培养合作能力和沟通能力，团队运动需要整个团队一起去达成一个目标或赢得比赛，因此需要所有成员相互配合进行合作才能完成，这期间团队成员需要学会分工明确、彼此信任、共同朝着一个目标努力。同时，个人在团队中势必需要和其他人进行沟通交流，去互相了解各自的优劣势、风格等等，在不断地沟通中，个人的沟通能力也会得到成长。

二是在团队相处的过程中，成员能够认识到新的伙伴。由于大家一起训练、流汗、互相鼓励并且完成目标和分享喜悦，因此彼此之间情感也会增长的更快，对于这个团队也会更有归属感。无论是新的伙伴还是正向情感，对于当下和未来都是有益。

但是对于有的人来说并不适合团队运动，比如本身有社交恐惧的人，让其参与团队运动并不能使其受益反而会让他更加心理上难受。

然后来看个人运动，好处有三方面

一是相比团队运动更容易开展，特别是对于普通来说，团队运动往往需要找到队友甚至对手才能够进行，而个人运动则完全可以根据自己的时间和精力来进行，不需要顾虑人数的问题。

二是能够更好的培养独立自主的能力。因为个人运动需要一个人赢得比赛并且解决所面对的问题，因此在这过程中可以对于个人的判断能力、抗压能力、处理问题能力以及自我驱动力的要求更高，也能够锻炼和提升当事人的这些能力。

三是个人运动在训练和比赛过程中，能够获得更多的资源支持和关注，这对于其个人能力提升会有更多的帮助，而一旦赢得比赛，外界对个人的赞美也能使其获得巨大的荣誉感和自信心，以及更多机会。

而个人运动的问题在于，当事人承受的压力会更大，对于天赋一般拿不到好成绩的人来说，所能获得心理上的成就感和满足感，可能不如参与到团队所能获得的。

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 labeling 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.
