Some people believe that group activities are more necessary than single activities. Although activities which are done alone have some advantages, I’m contended that team working, which enhances communication skills and competitiveness is more beneficial for individuals.
On the one hand, single activities can be convenient for some people, who like aloneliness or have a difficult to work with a group. This type of activities can bring some opportunities. In case of schools, students can show their natural abilities during the lessons, like math, chemistry, or physics by doing more difficult exercises or theories. Teachers also pay more attention and work additionally with them.
On the other hand, group and team activities are more advantagous. They teach more important life skills. Firstly, when individuals work together, they have to solve problems and help each other. In these situations, they should explain their own opinions, ideas clearly for everyone can understand. Group activities are more enjoyable and beneficial for children in special. Nowadays, there are some issues on development of children’s language. Their levels of language can improve through this way. Furthermore, team working enhances competitiveness. This can be seen in a group and between groups. For instance, in team sports members try to be best leader. They also compete with other teams to achieve first place.
In conclusion, although single activities give some benefits, I firmly believe that working together can teach more essential life skills, such as communication skills or competitiveness.
