Sample Answer
What are the advantages and disadvantages of playing outdoor sports?
Honestly, sports really aren’t my cup of tea so I might be a little biased. But if I have to think of advantages, I guess one is that you usually have much larger areas to play in. Another advantage is that you get fresh air while you play. But the downsides would be that you’re subject to the weather, which can change on a dime. It would suck to be caught in a downpour.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of playing indoor sports?
Off the top of my head, I would say that the advantages are that the environment is way cleaner and more controlled than it is outside. When you’re playing outdoors, you have to deal with inclement weather. But inside, you can manage the temperature and you don’t have to worry about getting too dirty. But on the flip side, indoor sports can often get crowded since facilities tend to be small.
What sports involve teamwork?
There are tons of sports that require you to be a team player. I’m not exactly an expert when it comes to sports, but I can think of a few like basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Those ones obviously require teams. But there are also smaller-scale sports like badminton, which involves teamwork when you play it in pairs. In all of those sports, you have to trust your teammates and make sure you work well together.
What kinds of outdoor sports are popular in your country?
I’m not a giant fan of outdoor sports, but a lot of my friends are. As far as I know, badminton and volleyball are really popular, especially in the summer. During the last summer holiday, some people I know actually set up a badminton tournament. It was a blast just to watch them all go at it. I guess another one would be soccer. It’s probably a good way to blow off steam but I’d rather just watch.
Which one is more exciting, indoor sports or outdoor sports?
Personally, I think outdoor sports are a lot more exciting. As far as I know, many outdoor sports are more intense than indoor sports. And people also get more active and adventurous when they’re outside. For example, a ton of people like playing football because you get to run in a really large field as well as have a lot of fun playing against the other team. In contrast, many indoor games like yoga or dancing are less competitive than outdoor sports.
