1. Do you think that people behave differently when in a group? Definitely! I think that we are all a little different when we are in private from when we are in
public. Some men might be shy and quiet when they meet new people, but they could be relaxed
and more talkative with their family. I think this is why girls always want to meet their boyfriend's
friends and family. It's because they want to see how the man behaves in a familiar environment.
They will be able to see the real him, you know, his real personality.
2. Why do many people encourage their children to join groups? I think that parents always want their child to be a member of a team because it is important
for kids to socialize and make friends. Being part of a group will allow children to communicate
with other young people and to expand their social skills. Nowadays, it's fundamental to have
good interpersonal skills. In addition, parents believe that it is better to play or learn with others
rather than to be alone. A lot of young people like to stay in front of their computers at home, but
parents consider this as a bad habit. I think that hanging out with other people is more fun and
interesting.
3. How can older people benefit from belonging to a group or a club? Well, belonging to an association must be rewarding in many aspects. First of all, it's a great
chance for senior citizens to make friends, and find people who might have the same hobbies.
Retired people might feel lonely if their children are out working. It is important for them to
socialize in order to keep busy. When they become a widow or a widower, they must go out to
keep their mind busy, and avoid becoming depressed. In addition, elderly people can volunteer for
charity associations in order to help their communities. They will feel useful again by working and
assisting others.
4. What are the benefits of being part of a team? There are many different benefits of being part of a team or an association. First of all~ you
can meet new people and make new friends. Joining an organization is a great chance to socialize.
In addition, you can learn how to collaborate with others. I think that team spirit is a great feeling
to experience, because you can feel useful by helping· others, and at the same time, you know you
can rely on your partners. I also believe that you can achieve better results if you work together as
a team. You can reach you goals faster, so you will definitely get a sense of success and
accomplishment.
