Passage 1 Are you not pleased with your working environment? Are you not at ease at your workplace as your co-workers attitude bothers you a lot? Then an app can actually help you get rid of this problem all at once. You can just let out your anger with the help of this app and your co-worker will not be able to come to know that its you who has just vented the feelings. The messaging app is called Memo and it has been developed by Ryan Janssen from a company, Collectively. The app is aimed at working professionals only. Users first need to verify their affiliation with a company through their LinkedIn profile or office email ID. Then the memo boards can be used on the app by the companies. Users can post whatever they wish on the company group, without mentioning their name. The posts can be shared in public too, but only the company where the user is working can check the posts. Janssen has admitted that the app has seen some negative feedback from some companies but the overall response is good enough. The apps privacy policy doesnt ensure that the user will not be identified anyhow but it cautions users “Dont be mean”. Memo app can be downloaded from the Apple app store and its all for free. The app is between the likes of Secret and Slack and it gives its users the power to make a company better by giving their valuable feedback without letting out their real names. The app enables users to speak freely about the workplace anonymously. Thats why several employers have pushed back the app for quite obvious reasons. Companies are not very likely to tolerate such an app for a long time which allows employees to make fun of other employees with some malicious posts. 1. The main use of Memo app is for professionals to _. A. express freely about their workplace B. post their private life in public C. get feedback of their concern from the company D. download apps from the Apple app store 2.

They will use it as a new platform to collect feedback from their employees. C. They will continue to use it so that the employees can keep an eye on each other. D. They will probably not be in favor of it so as to prevent the employees from bullying each other. Passage 2 Sports and childrens Sport for Development evolved out of the growing evidence that strengthening the right of children to play enhances their healthy, physical and psychosocial development and builds stronger communities. Participating in sport is now recognized by many as an effective tool in the pursuit of development and peace including international experts in the fields of development, education, health, sport, economics and conflict resolution. Well-designed sport and play programs put children on a positive path to healthy development. Specifically, sports and play programs help foster three key protective factors in the well-being of children- 1. Resilience by building confidence through skill acquisition; 2. A meaningful connection to adults through the coaching relationship and; 3. A sense of safety and security through regular activity. Sport and play also serve as tools to teach important values and life skills including self-confidence, teamwork, communication, inclusion, discipline, respect and fair play. Sport also has psychological benefits such as reducing depression and improving concentration. Sport and play improve health and well-being, extend life expectancy and reduce the likelihood of several non-communicable diseases including heart disease. Sport has a positive impact on child education. Physical education typically improves a childs ability to learn, increases concentration, attendance and overall achievement. Sport has the potential to contribute to the economic development of communities and nations. The training of coaches and physical education teachers leads directly to jobs; sport events can have significant economic impact; and sport manufacturing can be a low resource economic activity. The popularity and convening power of sport provides us with a powerful tool for reaching people and communicating important messages-including messages of health and peace. Sport brings people together and has the potential to cross boundaries and open new dialogue. Many of the core values of sport parallel those necessary for peace, such as respect, justice and honesty. Children learn better when they are having fun and being active. 1.
