Pre reading questions
What were the outdoor experiences of
over 55 old people during their
childhood?
What has the survey
highlighted?
Let’s see the pictures which is related to the text
Traditional childhood pastimes of climbing trees and playing conkers are
in decline, according to survey by the RSPB (Royal Society for the
Protection of Birds). It’s a charitable organization registered in England
and Wales. The survey shows that people under 34 recall far fewer such
childhood outdoor experiences than their counterparts over 55, according
to a survey by RSPB.
People were asked which of 12 outdoor experiences they
could remember during their childhood. The answer
included making dens, daisy chains, climbing trees,playing
conkers and feeding birds. Four out of five boys climbed trees
and the same number of girls made daisy chains. But the
survey showed the numbers declining among the newer
generations.
Some 15% more of those aged over 55 had
these outdoor experiences in their childhood,
compared with those between 15-34 years old.
Some 92% of the public agreed that
experiences of nature were still important to
children, and 82% agreed that schools should
play a role in providing them to all children.
The survey has highlighted the positive impact of contact with nature on a child's
education, health, wellbeing and social skills. At the same time, there has been a
decline in these opportunities, with negative consequences for children, families
and
society - a condition now known as nature deficit disorder.
