Sport:

5.

Possible answer:
• Both of these pictures show people doing some sport in entirely
different circumstances. While in the first picture baseball is simply a
carefree game that a grandfather and granddaughter are enjoying
together, the third picture portrays a situation in which sport plays a far
more serious role, as these men appear to be taking part in a
professional cycling competition. In their case, cycling is probably a
means to making a living, whereas in the first picture they’re just playing
for pure fun.
• As for the second question, I believe that training almost daily is vital for
the cyclists, as they need to keep up their performance in order to
compete at a high level. On the other hand, training isn’t required
whatsoever for playing baseball occasionally with your grandchild, as in
the first picture.
