1. Team sports help people develop a stronger character than individual sports do. 2. Summer holidays in the countryside are best for teenagers (Ñî÷èíåíèÿ ÅÃÝ àíãëèéñêèé ÿçûê)

1. Nowadays there are different kinds of sports. Some people think that playing on the team forms a strong character, while others believe that individual sports help to do it better.

In my opinion, team sports have a positive influence on the character. Firstly, looking at others makes a person improve his results. For example, weak players want to be like stronger ones and work hard, but successful teammates are an example for others that inspires them to keep courage to stay best and not to relax a lot.

Secondly, playing on the team teaches to be responsible. Working in a group of people, a person feels that his role is essential and the victory of all team depends on his efforts.

However, there is another point of view on this issue. Some people believe that playing on the team means losing individuality. If a player is better than others and the team wins, all glory is collective anyway that can discourage.

Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this opinion. The best player in the world could not win without his team because the role of everyone is important. A person who is in a team should realize the value of each player and not to think in that way.

Taking int consideration all mentioned above, I would like to say that team sports really make the character better because a person tries to improve his results and learns to be responsible for himself and his team.

2. Nowadays the problem of choosing how to spend summer holidays for teenagers is popular. Some people think that having a rest in the village is better for youngsters, while others believe that spending summer in the country becomes outdated. In this essay I am going to express my point of view on this issue.

In my opinion, living in the countryside during summer vacation is the best choice for adolescents. Firstly, it has a positive influence on their health. For instance, fresh air and sounds of nature help teenagers to feel energized and relax from polluted environment and city noise. Secondly, spending time in the village is a great opportunity to communicate with grandparents who usually live there. It is essential, because adolescents often do not have enough time to dedicate it to close relatives during the school year.

However, there is another point of view on this issue. Some people claim that there is no access to the Internet in the countryside and youngsters get bored, because they have nothing to do.

Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this opinion. The absence of the Internet is a perfect way to relax from enormous amount of information adolescents get every day, and they can do useful things, such as helping in the garden or reading a book.

In conclusion, I would like to say that teenagers should appreciate that they can spend their summer holidays in the village and enjoy being out of town.
