Passage 1
My name is Ben and I want to tell you why I play football.Sports play a very important role at my school.The entire town come out to watch our football matches on Friday evenings.
All of my friends do sports.Although at the beginning I was just doing what everybody else was doing,I found that the positive side of taking part in a sport was the friendship it created.The people in my football team are now some of my best friends and our friendship has become even stronger for the fact that we won and lost together.
Of course,going to the semi-finals in our state tournament was exciting but for me it is the friendship that keeps me playing.I think parents should realize that not every child who plays sports is out there to win every time.Maybe they just play to make a few new friends.
If you ask young players in my town why they do a particular sport,they would say that not only does the chance of winning play a role,but also there is a more important and more social aspect than winning.And in sports the trainer plays a very significant role.Some young players have stopped doing a sport just because the trainer was not a pleasant person.

Passage 2
A few months ago I was having breakfast in downtown Washington.I couldn’t help but overhear a casual job interview happening at the table next to me.The interviewer owned a government contracting business.He was looking to hire a person to help write proposals to federal agencies.Near the end of the conversation,the interviewer complained about how difficult it is to find good writers these days.The two men talked about their college experiences and how they learned to write.“I was a math major,”the interviewer said,“but the biggest differentiation in business now is good writing.”
He’s not alone in his opinion.According to national surveys,employers want to hire college graduates who can write coherently,think creatively,and analyze quantitative data.But the surveys show that writing skill is one of the biggest gaps in workplace readiness.
That’s why so many employers now explicitly ask for writing and communication skills in their job.An analysis found that writing and communication are the most essential job requirements across nearly every industry.They are even required in fields such as information technology and engineering.
Joseph R.Teller,an English professor,wrote,“My students can’t write a clear sentence to save their lives,and I’ve had it.In 10 years of teaching writing,I have experimented with different assignments,activities,readings,approaches to commenting on student work—you name it—all to help students write coherent articles that someone would actually want to read.And as anyone who keeps up with trends in higher education knows,such efforts largely fail.”
