Summary
Sample
I once run the first leg of 4x100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament, which was exciting and unforgetable. When I stood on the starting line, waiting for the starting gun, I was very nervous. Then the gun sounded and I almost had blocked out everything else.
Sample
Only when I passed the baton to the second runner did I hear the wild cheering and shouting. The whole race was over in just an instant. The crowd rose to their feet and their cheering became even louder. It turned out that our team had won the race. And the four of us hugged each other tightly and couldn’t hold back our tears. I felt really happy.
Work in groups
Read the two points of view about winning and take sides.
Presenting ideas
Think of arguments to support your point of view and make notes.

Supporting examples: _____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________
In sports, winning is everything
All the mental and physical preparation is aimed at winning
Desire to win can improve your strength physically and mentally.
US soccer player Mia Hamm is a good example.
Winning means you are doing better than you've ever done before
Presenting ideas
While we are competing in sports, winning is very important, and actually winning really is everything.
First of all, all the mental and physical preparation is aimed at achieving one simple objective: beating your opponent by scoring more points. We often train for sports by having this goal in mind and to be very frank, nobody has an aim to lose. In fact, other than winning being an achievement to the whole team, it is a goal that boost our metal and physical strength.
In addition, winning is encouragement, with which we will play harder and try to be the best we can be. To leave the field with no regrets is important and sportsmanship is about doing our best in the game.We definitely do not want to say, “We should have tried harder" after losing our games.
Hence, I feel that winning is everything in terms of improving ourselves.
Prepare for a debate. Consider the following:
the roles and responsibilities, for each member of your group
your arguments, opening and summary
the opposing arguments you might face and how you can respond to them
useful words, expressions and structures
Team up with a group with the opposite point of view and hold the debate.
Review the language points.
Write another sporting moment and share with your friends.

It was so wonderful to be part of this sporting moment and enjoy its speed and passion.
When the runners set off, everyone went wild.
It was an extraordinary experience and something I will never forget.
It was like being hit by a huge wave of excitement.
Everyone was on their feet, cheering.
I was also caught up in the excitement, and cheered so hard that I thought my lungs would burst.

Summary
Sample
I once run the first leg of 4x100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament, which was exciting and unforgetable. When I stood on the starting line, waiting for the starting gun, I was very nervous. Then the gun sounded and I almost had blocked out everything else.
Sample
Only when I passed the baton to the second runner did I hear the wild cheering and shouting. The whole race was over in just an instant. The crowd rose to their feet and their cheering became even louder. It turned out that our team had won the race. And the four of us hugged each other tightly and couldn’t hold back our tears. I felt really happy.
Work in groups
Read the two points of view about winning and take sides.

In sports, winning is everything
All the mental and physical preparation is aimed at winning
Desire to win can improve your strength physically and mentally.
US soccer player Mia Hamm is a good example.
Winning means you are doing better than you've ever done before
Presenting ideas
While we are competing in sports, winning is very important, and actually winning really is everything.
First of all, all the mental and physical preparation is aimed at achieving one simple objective: beating your opponent by scoring more points. We often train for sports by having this goal in mind and to be very frank, nobody has an aim to lose. In fact, other than winning being an achievement to the whole team, it is a goal that boost our metal and physical strength.
In addition, winning is encouragement, with which we will play harder and try to be the best we can be. To leave the field with no regrets is important and sportsmanship is about doing our best in the game.We definitely do not want to say, “We should have tried harder" after losing our games.
Hence, I feel that winning is everything in terms of improving ourselves.
