Finding the right verb forms “Hosting the 2012 Olympic Games in Britain provided (1) us with all sorts of opportunities to introduce young people to new and exciting sports. By giving more children the opportunity to try a much wider variety of sports, we were able (2) to increase participation levels, widen the talent pool and help young people lead a healthier, more active lifestyle.” (Denise Lewis OBE, Olympic gold medallist) Exercise and sports participation have long been established (3) as an important factor in reducing the risk of many physical problems such as cardiovascular disease and obesity. Sport has many physical benefits, but there are also many other benefits that taking part in sport can provide, which makes (4) sport an important part of each individual’s life. Schools, colleges and universities have (5) the opportunity to inspire and help young people get active and participate in sport. Sport can be a powerful tool for educational establishments to use. Sport can even have a positive impact on young people in areas such as attendance and behaviour. Taking part in sporting activities can be very rewarding. The Youth Sport Trust says (6) physical education can be used to raise the self-esteem of young people and give them confidence. The international sporting events taking place in the city of London during 2012 were a fantastic opportunity. This opportunity was effectively used to engage young people in fun and exciting sporting activities, to help them develop their values. Activity Days for Schools are designed (7) to be fun, exciting, challenging and rewarding. The purpose is to engage young people in sport and an active lifestyle. Some young people can be described (8) as inactive and do not participate in sport very often if at all. Activity Days held at schools offer traditional sporting activities with a twist. This encourages (9) those who are disengaged (10) from sport to participate and really to enjoy something different. Some young people already take part in sport, but they do not always get (11) the opportunity to take part in different or unusual sports. The Activity Days for Schools give young people the opportunity to try sports they may not have had (12) the chance to try before such as rock climbing or boxing.

Symptoms: Reading patterns have changed over the past few years. The more people read the less they seem to understand. 2. Differences offline and online: Offline reading differs from online reading in a variety of ways. The contrast of pixels, the layout of the words, the concept of scrolling versus turning a page, the physicality of a book versus the fleetingness of a screen, the ability to hyperlink and move from source to source within seconds online – all these variables translate into a different reading experience. 3. General characteristics of online reading: There is a tendency to skim (reading quickly and less deeply) to cope with the overload of information. 4. Negative aspects of online reading: People get exhausted because of information overload and distractions on the page (e.g. hyperlinks). 5. Advantages of printed matter: The physicality of a book influences reading and comprehension. Reading a printed page has a deeper effect on the reader. 6. Further disadvantages of online reading: Online reading leads to a lack of deep reading. The materials have a negative effect on the so-called “sophisticated comprehension process”.
