Gợi ý: Dạng bài DISCUSSION, trong đó người viết PHẢI bàn luận cả 2 quan điểm và đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân của mình ở câu luận điểm hoặc ở kết bài.

LUẬN ĐIỂM: Both of the schools of thought hold valid arguments which will be examined in this essay. In my opinion, in order to be successful in this field, athletes and coaches need to figure out how to integrate these two success defining factors.

Đoạn 1: Bàn luận về quan điểm “Physical strength is inevitably required from top sports performers in competitions.”

Ý 1: Most sports are tied with physical strength 

--> Explanation: The strength brought by physiques and fitness is the primary factor in selecting and coaching athletes. 

--> Explanation: The most successful basketball players of the NBA, the biggest basketball league in the world, show great physical strength and consider it as their major advantage to defeat other players in the league. 

Ý 2: Without physical strength, the strategies would not be able to be executed precisely. 

--> Explanation 1: Prior any competitions, athletes have to train seriously => must be fit and enduring => being physically strong is a prerequisite for competitions.

--> Explanation 2: During matches or competitions, the strength of an athlete needs to be bountiful: sudden burst of strength at the beginning and at the end of the game + the moderate distribution of energy during races or games  

Đoạn 2: Bàn luận về quan điểm “Being mentally strong allows athletes or competitors to attain achievements that are far beyond their abilities.”

Ý 1: Since sports are incredibly competitive, athletes are required to practice diligently daily. 

--> Explanation: Athletes are unlikely to reach their potential with the absence of will power, which enables them to carry out through the hard-working practices.

--> Example of Anh Vien, the best female swimmer of Vietnam with several gold medals for SEA Games 29 but with disappointing achievement in SEA Games 30 due to love problems => the importance of mental health for sports professionals.

Ý 2: all athletes are at their top performance, but the ones with the stronger will even overcome themselves to win.

--> Explanation: Athletes are often divided into similar strength and weight classes which ensures that no single participant has any extra strength advantage over others, hence the only deciding factor remains is their mental attitude since they all possess the same technical skill set. => It becomes evident why mental strength attitude could be another main reason for success.
