Which do you enjoy more: watching others perform, or getting up and doing something fun yourself?

A natural way to answer

I usually prefer taking part. Watching is relaxing, but I find I enjoy myself more when I'm actually involved. Even if I'm not very good, having a go is more rewarding than just being a spectator and looking on.

Key phrases to use

• join in — take part in an activity with others“Don't be shy, come and join in.”
• looking on — watching something happen without taking part“He stood there just looking on.”
• throw myself into — do something with great energy and enthusiasm“I threw myself into the dancing.”
