Sport and Inclusion
Understanding
At the beginning of the story, some of the team are not sure about training with the team from Greenfield College and others are a bit negative. Take a look at these examples and then have a go at the activity to learn some similar phrases.
"It's a waste of time." Adhi reacted negatively to training with the kids from Greenfield College.
"I don't know, it'll be a bit diffferent, won't it?" Iwan wasn't sure about training with the kids from Greenfield College.
Grammar
the story, Iwan and Adhi used tag questions. We usually use tag questions in spoken language. For example:
"It's not really football training, is it?"
If the main part of the verb is negative (is not), the question tag is positive (is it?).
"It will be a bit different, won't it?"
If the main part of the verb is positive (will be), the question tag is negative (won't it?).
Have a go at the activity below, or check out our Learn English website for a few more of the rules about question tags and some practice activities.

I do think Adhi made the right decision. I do think all people with disabilities should be involved, like people who are blind, people in wheelchairs and, people with crutches. We can help involve people with disabilities by not being rude and not knock their confidence.

We should not understimate anyone. We all can learn something from each other, no matther who we are. I think people with some kind of disabilities can teach us about courage, strengh, positiveness, teamwork and many other skills that we might not have ever thouht about it due to the fact that we have never had this need before.

That's a good example of inclusion. In this way people with disabilities feel they are needed, which is very important for them. And I do agree that it is a nice activity to train teamwork. Unfortunately, there is not much attention paid to people with disabilities in my country. But I think sport can surely make a difference for them. I can't help admiring people with disabilities who strive for achievements in sports (e.g. the Paralympic games), and I must admit Ukrainians have got pretty much to be proud of.

In my community people with disabilities take part in basketball matches, bowling and darts. There are so many ways to show their talent, only that the social institutions should take care more of them, insure their financial condition and make space for coordination and presence in all social events.

We should all organise competitions, and give all the people with disabilities to improve themselves in many fields, not only in sport activities. But, yes, sport is a great opportunity to show everyone it can be a competitive and interesting event.
