参考答案 1. Achievement in sport ‐(Identify) Which sports your country is quite terrible at? I think China is a superpower in sports based on its performance in the Olympics. But we are not good at every sport, and particularly, people in our country generally don’t compete well in baseball or hockey in international games. The main reason for that is these sports are not very popular in our culture and most kids don’t grow up playing such sports.
‐(Outline) The personal qualities needed to improve as a sportsperson. I think being an athlete requires some extreme characteristics. They need to be determined, hard-working, and confident as well as having self-discipline and the inner desire to succeed.
‐(Compare) Losing in a team sport and losing in an individual sport. I think the major difference between these two are that if you play an individual sport and lose, you are responsible for your own outcome. But if you lose in a team sport, you are responsible for the outcome of the team, and you may feel bad for not being able to help your teammates to succeed.
2. Children and outdoor activities ‐(Consider) Whether children should have outdoor activities at school? I think it’s crucial for children to have outdoor activities at school. First, outdoor activities are good for children’s physical health. They get aerobic exercise and gain skills such as jumping and running and catching. Second, they learn how to share and take turns, which will help them understand how to work well with others.
‐(Assess) The importance of making outdoor activities compulsory. There are a lot of benefits for children to have outdoor activities. It will improve their physical strength, develop creative thinking and make them learn how to care about others as well as the environment. Since children are generally not self-disciplined enough to do outdoor activities regularly, it is important to make outdoor activities compulsory for them.
‐(Agree/disagree) Adults should not put pressure on children doing outdoor activities. I agree with this statement. Even though outdoor activities are extremely important for children, instead of pressuring children to do so, adults should try to make outdoor activities interesting so that children will take initiative to do it themselves. The result will be much better when children genuinely enjoy those activities.
3. The influence of sports ‐(Consider) The effects on young people of having sports champions as role model. On the field and off the field, on the court and off the court, athletes need to work extremely hard and never stop until they reach their goals. I think such work ethic they all show makes them good role models – they show the younger generation the importance of setting a goal and not giving up no matter how difficult the process is.
‐(Suggest) Any benefits to the public if governments support national teams financially. National teams represent a country in international competition - its existence and developments deeply rely on government’s financial support. I think having a strong national teams helps promote sports and boost national pride among the public.
