    Sport is an important part of today’s society and plays a large role in people’s lives. Now, more than ever, sport events dominate headlines and athletes have become national heroes. From a social standpoint, sport plays a positive role in uniting people from different social backgrounds in support of their favourite team. However, just as sport unites people so it can divide them, as is often demonstrated by crowd violence at football matches.

Sport is also an important part of every child’s schooling, as it plays a big role in their physical and mental development. It teaches children how to work as part of a team and cooperate with others, while at the same time improving their physical condition. The only drawback to this is that children who are less able to perform well in sports are likely to feel inadequate in comparison with their more gifted classmates, which may affect their self-confidence.

From an economic point of view, sport can be very profitable as it attracts a lot of advertising. On one hand, this creates profit for the sporting industry which allows for improvement and expansion, on the other hand, large sums of money are often paid to event organizers to promote products such as cigarettes, which are harmful to one’s health.

d) it develops the mental condition

6) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

        Countries today depend more and more on one another and what happens in one country affects other countries. Our world is getting smaller and smaller. Thanks to modern inventions, the most distant parts of the globe are closely linked together. In no country can people live alone, separated from other countries. Practically, no part of the earth’s surface today remains undiscovered.

        More important than discovery is that people in different parts of the world are getting to know, to understand and to meet each other, and enter into what we call social and business relations. As a result, there will be what we call international relationship which has grown up side by side with the old relations people had with each other in the same country.
