B1 Reading – Team Sports vs Solo Sports

Read the dialogue and answer the multiple-choice questions.

Mia: I’m thinking about joining a sports club this term. I can’t decide between volleyball and running.
Leo: That’s a classic choice—team sport vs solo sport. What matters most to you?
Mia: Motivation. When I run alone, I sometimes stop early. In a team, I feel responsible for others.
Leo: True. Team sports build communication and trust. But with running, you can train anytime and track your own progress more easily.
Mia: I also want to improve my fitness. Which one is better for that?
Leo: Both help, but in different ways. Volleyball improves coordination and reaction time, while running builds endurance.
Mia: Good point. I’m worried about schedules, though. Team practices are fixed, right?
Leo: Usually, yes—twice a week for beginners. Solo sports are more flexible, but staying disciplined can be hard.
Mia: Maybe I could run on weekdays and join the volleyball club on Saturdays.
Leo: Great plan. Mixing both gives you variety and keeps you motivated.
