A natural way to answer

I can see the appeal of both, but I tend to gravitate towards team sports. There's an accountability there; you can't easily skip a session when other people are relying on you to pull your weight.

Key phrases to use

  • round people up — to gather a group of people together for an activity“It took ages to round everyone up for the photo.”
  • pull your weight — to do your fair share of the work in a group“Everyone has to pull their weight on the team.”
  • dig deep — to find extra effort, courage or strength when things get hard“We had to dig deep to win in the final minutes.”
