thứ tự cho đúng với dàn ý trên.
Topic: Some people think that mental strength is the most important factor for success in sports.
However, some others believe that it is more important to have strong and fit people. Discuss both
views and give your opinions.

a. From my perspective, both qualities are of great significance in equal measure, and I will further
elaborate in this essay.
b. Physical strength has been commonly regarded as an important element in sports
c. Some people are of the opinion that physical fitness is the key to success in sports. However,
some others are opposed to this idea, claiming that mental toughness is of uttermost importance.
d. A strong mentality, on the other hand, is also very essential for any professionals to be
successful.
e. As a matter of fact, virtually all sports entail intense competitions and pressure, and only strong-
willed players who are able to handle those problems well attain great success.
f. Most sportspeople are required to be physically fit so that they are able to perform physically
challenging actions commonly found in the majority of sports.
g. In conclusion, my firm conviction is that mental toughness is just as important as physical
fitness in determining sporting success. 
h. Elite athletes such as Roger Federer or Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, are perfect examples of
players who remain calm and confident regardless of situations. Additionally, mental prowess has
been proven to be a game-changing factor in deciding the outcome of a match. Even seeded
players can bitterly lose to underdogs if stressed or pressured.
i. In the future, with training integrating both physical and mental health becoming increasingly
available, the sporting industry will be able to welcome generations of successful sports players
who are physically fit and mentally prepared.
j. Footballers, for example, spend on average 90 minutes of relentless physical manoeuvres, and
this certainly requires brute strength and stamina. In some sports that involve building muscles
such as weightlifting, fitness is instrumental in the overall success of a weightlifter, for more
weights lifted are directly proportionate to how well he or she performs in a weightlifting
competition.
TOPIC
1. Some people think that exams are a good way of assessing a student’s level. Other people

actual ability. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

2. Some people think that a sense of competition should be encouraged in children. Others believe
that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss
both views and give your own opinion.
