5 . In the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, educators across Qatar Foundation(QF)have found creative ways to take advantage of the global sporting event in the classroom to teach both physical and social skills, and to bring their lesson plans to life.

“Apart from encouraging them to take part in the physical aspect of the game, it’s a perfect opportunity to teach social skills, such as team spirit, fair play, respect for rules, cooperation, discipline and tolerance, etc. These are all essential skills for future participation in group activities and professional life,” explained Sara Hal Hajri, assistant director of QF.

The topics include learning about the event, the sport of football, stadiums and how they link to Qatari culture and heritage, and the positive impact the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will have on the local community, etc. Classes will also be designing and creating a sustainable football in honor of the landmark year.

At the heart of the activities are friendly football matches organized to simulate the match experience where students will engage as either football players or audience. They will create cheers for their favourite team, use a match ticket, and purchase refreshments to mirror the experience at a match.

Football in Qatar Academy Sidra(QAS), a QF school, has been included in the curriculum across the age groups to teach subjects like geography, art writing, math and others in creative ways. For example, grade 4 students are using maps to determine the distances between stadiums while grades 11 and 12 engage in redesigning the FIFA World Cup using recycled materials.

Fatima Saad Mohannadi, a grade 10 student from QAS said, “Everyone is pumped up about the World Cup—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there are so many activities being linked to it. And when we also have it included in our day-to-day learning, it just makes school that much more fun and something that, like the World Cup, we all look forward to.

8 . You may hear the phrase — dress for success.     1    . But does it matter what you wear for a workout? Listed below are four reasons why you should wear good quality workout clothing.

The Right Athletic Clothing Increases Confidence

The clothing you wear is going to make a difference if you believe it’s going to help you perform better. Studies have shown the positive impact of wearing the right clothes for your workplace and this extends to sports and fitness too.     2    . That is to say, if you like what you are wearing at the gym, there is a greater chance you will want to exercise.

    3    

Maybe you need a shirt that takes away moisture (水分) from the body so your morning jogs are more comfortable and you can stay out longer. However, a pair of running shoes would not be appropriate on the soccer field. Shoes made for running lack the flexibility and stability required for other sports, thus affecting your performance.

The Right Workout Equipment Adds Protection & Prevents Injuries

You may want a cap to cover your head and protect your face. You might want to use gloves in the gym to protect your hands while using improperly fitted equipment is a major cause of sports-related injuries.     4    .

Well-Fitted Athletic Clothing Improves Freedom of Movement

    5    . A tight shirt can restrict your movement. Even if you are able to swing or make other movements you will be affected if you are aware of the tightness around your body.

A．It will consequently turn pleasing workout into hospital visits

B．Good sports shoes protect your feet

C．Freedom of movement is important in intense sports

D．The Good Clothing Can Aid Possibility in Exercise

E．The Correct Sports Clothing Improves Performance

F．If you know you look great — chances are you will act it out

G．In other words, the clothing you choose influences your performance on the sports field

9 . I’m sure we all know by now that exercise is great for you.     1     So, in this post, I am going to share my top four reasons for working out.

Firstly, exercise can completely change your mood! When you work out, your body produces endorphins, which will give you a rush of happiness.     2     Next time you’re having a bad day, try going for a fast-paced run, and the day won’t seem so bad after all.

Secondly, exercising is sociable. Whenever I move to a new city to study or work, I look for exercise classes to do.     3     Usually, you all share a collective feeling of euphoria when the class finishes!

Thirdly, exercise makes you feel confident. We all know the physical effects of exercise on our bodies but we don’t always talk about the mental effects. Exercise might give you a feeling of confidence from being comfortable with your body and appearance.     4    

Finally, it helps to relieve stress. Focusing on lifting weights or going for a run can help you forget the problems and stress of daily life, studies or work. During exams, I always spend an hour a day in the gym. It makes me feel less anxious and it also helps me to sleep well.

    5     It might not be easy but it’s a great feeling doing something you couldn’t do before and knowing it’s a result of your hard work.

A．What kinds of exercise do you usually take?

B．You will feel better after a workout than you did before it.

C．But most exercise classes are too expensive for ordinary people.

D．This new confidence might even help in your social or work life.

E．So, next time you’re feeling down, put your trainers on and get sweating.

F．But sometimes finding that motivation to work out can be a little difficult.

G．You meet like-minded people there, and you can support each other during a difficult workout.

10 . “Running is so natural—it’s something we’ve been doing for thousands of years, and it’s something very enjoyable.” The words of Tao Geoghegan Hart, a professional (专业的) cyclist. As an ambassador (大使) for The Daily Mile, a movement that calls for one simple thing—15 minutes of daily exercise, where children run, walk, jog or skip one mile—he encourages any form of exercise and movement.

Geoghegan Hart sees schools as key to setting young people up for life with good sporting habits. “When you’re school age, sport can encourage you and take hold of you and change you more than at any other age,” he explains. “Yes, we all go on journeys with sport, but when you look back at those journeys, they start with your childhood.”

One big attraction of taking part in The Daily Mile is that it is a cost-free way in which schools can encourage regular exercise. Geoghegan Hart says he hopes The Daily Mile will encourage children to try and be more active in the future. “Something as simple as The Daily Mile can lead to much more,” he says.

At Cowley Hill Primary School, head teacher Louise Thomas says that they’ve found the movement has had a great positive influence upon the lives of their learners. Charlie Honour, year-5 teacher and PE subject leader at St Peter’s School, says that although the activity takes place out on the field, it has classroom benefits (效益,受益), too. “I find that the children are more willing to complete class work,” says Honour. “I think it is because they know they will soon be outside and getting some fresh air.”
