7 Bài tập Tiếng Anh 9 (Global Success) 4. Spending time outdoors can improve children's attention spans. ___T______ 5. Outdoor activities like soccer matches and fishing derbies are usually unsupervised. ___F______ Today, childhood is spent mostly indoors watching television, playing video games and surfing the Internet. When children do go outside, it tends to be for scheduled events like a soccer match or a fishing derby. These events are held under the watch of adults. The shift to an indoor childhood has accelerated in the past decade, with a significant decline in spontaneous outdoor activities such as bike riding, swimming and touch football, according to separate studies by the National Sporting Goods Association. In addition, a child is six times more likely to play a video game on a typical day to ride a bike. Indoor childhood has brought about some changes which can be seen in children's bodies. In the 1960 s, 4% of kids were obese. Today, 16% are overweight. The changes can also be seen in their brains. Studies indicate that children who spend plenty of time outdoors have a longer attention span than those who watch lots of television and play video games.
