Sports
for
Today
and
Tomorrow?



1
STANDUP
PADDLEBOARDING

HIGHLIGHT
ALL
OF
THE
AUXILIARY
VERBS
YOU
CAN
FIND.


There
are
7
examples.




We
love
this
new
sport.
Actually,
it’s
not
really
that
new.
People
have
been
standing
on
some
kind
of

board
and
using
some
kind
of
paddle
for
centuries.
However,
the
paddleboards
we
use
for
sport
now

are
only
a
few
years
old.
The
sport
became
popular
very
fast,
but
that
doesn’t
mean
it’s
a
fad.
People
of

all
ages
can
do
it,
as
long
as
they
are
able
to
swim,
and
it
can
be
a
real
workout
or
just
a
peaceful
hour

on
the
water.
We
say
it’s
here
to
stay.

DISC
GOLF

HIGHLIGHT
ALL
OF
THE
ARTICLES
/
QUANTIFIERS
/
DETERMINERS
YOU
CAN
FIND.


There
are
14
examples.


Disc
golf
can
be
played
in
many
parks
these
days.
There’s
a
‘course’,
like
a
golf
course,
but
with
baskets

instead
of
holes
in
the
ground.
You
take
a
disc
round
the
course,
some
people
have
various
for

different
holes,
and
try
to
get
it
into
each
basket
with
as
few
throws
as
possible.
Now,
running
to

catch
a
disc
in
big,
open
spaces
is
fun,
and
we
also
love
the
challenge
and
skill
involved
in
real
golf.
But

a
mix
of
disc-throwing
and
golf?
Honestly,
we
think
it’s
a
fad.

ROUNDNET

HIGHLIGHT
ALL
OF
THE
LINKERS
/
CONNECTORS
YOU
CAN
FIND.


There
are
10
examples.


We
think
lots
of
ball
games
are
better
than
roundnet
but
it
has
its
advantages.
You
don’t
need

a
football
pitch
or
a
big
court
to
play
it.
All
you
really
need
is
the
round
net
and
a
ball.
You
use
your

hands
or
any
part
of
your
body
to
make
the
ball
hit
the
net.
The
game
is
played
in
teams
of
two
and

you
really
have
to
be
fast
and
good
at
teamwork.
Friends
can
play
it
on
the
beach,
although
you
can

also
be
a
competitor
in
a
tournament
with
strict
rules
and
an
umpire
(called
an
‘observer’).
In
spite
of

being
fun,
we
don’t
really
believe
it’s
here
to
stay.

NORDIC
WALKING

HIGHLIGHT
ALL
OF
THE
PRONOUNS
(RELATIVE,
SUBJECT,
OBJECT,
POSSESSIVE)
YOU
CAN
FIND.


There
are
15
examples.


When
we
first
saw
people
out
walking
with
poles
in
a
park,
we
were
sure
it
was
a
fad.
Poles?
In

a
city
park?
How
silly!
Well,
years
later,
we
understand
that
this
is
a
really
great
sport.
It’s
fun
and
it’s

very
good
for
you.
Your
whole
body
gets
a
good
workout
and
you
don’t
have
to
join
a
fitness
studio
or

even
find
a
track.
You
may
want
to
pay
an
instructor
once
or
twice
who
can
make
sure
your
technique

is
right,
but
after
that,
you
can
go
nordic
walking
alone
or
with
friends,
anywhere.
We
don’t
like
to

admit
our
error,
but
we
were
wrong:
nordic
walking
is
here
to
stay.

Now
do
the

exercise,
filling
in
the

the
correct

New
printmaking
course!

Student
Emily
Watts
tries
out
a
new
art
course
here
in
college

Hi
everyone!

Last
week,
I
attended
a
brilliant
evening
class
at
the
college.
​(27)...................



​was
a
printmaking
class

for
beginners.
I
got
to
print
my
own
pictures
and
designs
using
basic
equipment.

I
took
along
a
design
of
a
sea
creature
that
I’d
created,
and
the
teacher
showed
me
how
to
transfer
my

design
onto
a
piece
of
plastic
and
cut
it
out.
Then
I
had
to
cover
the
plastic
with
ink
and
press
it
down

onto
a
piece
of
paper.
​(28).................
​the
method
was
really
simple,
the
results
were
good.
I
was
really

proud
​(29)...............
​what
I’d
printed!
And
the
great
thing
was
that
we
could
produce
several
copies

of
our
designs
without
having
to
draw
them
again
​(30).................
​time.

The
teacher
was
​(31)..................
​friendly
that
everyone
felt
very
comfortable
in
the
class,
even
people

who
couldn’t
draw
very
well.
I
can
definitely
recommend
this
class
to
anyone
who
enjoys


(32).....................
​creative!
