Focus1 2E Unit Test Dictation Listening Reading Unit6 GroupB

1. The document is a listening and reading exam for a class called "Unit Test 6 Group B". It contains questions about a conversation between Helen and Jason about sports as well as a reading comprehension passage. 2. The reading comprehension passage discusses a report that found British people are exercising less than in the past, which is now a worse problem for health than smoking. It costs the UK health service £17.6 billion per year to treat illness from lack of exercise. 3. Experts recommend a minimum of 2.5 hours of exercise per week, including walking, but only 37% of British people achieve this compared to 66% in France and 82% in Holland.
