15. Short response (essay):
Yes — I often feel better if I do something active like playing sports when I'm upset. Physical activity helps me get my mind off the problem, reduces stress, and releases energy in a positive way. Team sports also give a sense of connection and support, which can improve my mood and help me think more clearly about the situation.
