109 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing a game is fun only when you win. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I agree with the old saying, Its not whether you win or lose, its how you play the game. I dont need to win. I have fun playing all games because it gives me time to be with friends, learn new things, and work as a team.
Tennis is one game that I enjoy. Its a great opportunity to socialize. Of course, you cant carry on a conversation while youre playing, but my tennis partner and I talk a lot before the game. Since we have to reserve a court, we have to talk to one another to find a convenient time to meet. Then we have to make sure that the court is available at that time. This often takes many phone calls and, of course, we talk about many other things during the same conversation. Once we get to the court, we often have to wait. That gives us another opportunity to chat. After the game, we usually go out for a soda or a meal and talk some more. We dont even talk about how well or how poorly we played. Tennis is just an excuse for us to get together.
The board game Scrabble, on the other hand, is a real skill builder. Its a challenge to form words from the letters in front of you and on the board. I always learn a new word from my opponent, although sometimes Im suspicious whether the word really exists. Often we dont even keep score. We just do it because its fun and we learn new English words.
Soccer is the most competitive sport Im involved in. I do my best, but it doesnt matter to me if my team loses. I enjoy just being with my friends and traveling to different schools in different cities to play. I learn a lot about teamwork when we practice. Our coach tells us the most important thing is to play well as a team. It seems she just wants us to have fun and not worry about winning.
All in all, I just enjoy having a good time. Presumably thats our purpose in life. Isnt that better than worrying about who wins and who loses all the time?
