EXERCISE AT WORK
How many hours a day do you spend sitting Lu ii
According to research from AXA PPP Healthcare, nearly
three-quarters of workers spend 4 to 8 hours sitting
during office hours. In addition, 27% sit for 30-60 minutes
travelling to and from work, and 81% spend between 2 and
6 hours of their leisure time sitting down. Worryingly, 73%
have had health problems such as back, neck and shoulder
pain, which may all be caused by long periods without
moving.
Evie Scott experienced just that after she had changed
job. 'I used to work in a department store, where I was
on my feet talking to customers all day,' she says, 'but I
needed a higher salary so I got an office job instead. That
meant many hours sitting at a desk and I soon found I had
less energy and also various aches and pains. Although the
challenge of the new job was quite exciting and I quickly
made friends there, for a while I wondered whether I'd
made a big mistake.'
So Evie, who travels into town by rail every day, decided
to do something about her fitness level. She explains:

In the past, bears and wolves were considered a

danger to both people and farm animals so their
numbers were reduced, often to zero. Nowadays,
however, a lot more is understood about how
they form an essential part of nature, and some
years ago international agreements were made
to bring back these magnificent creatures. A lot
of money was spent, large areas where they
could move freely across borders were created,
and they are now protected by law. In Europe,
bears and wolves are once again found in many
countries, from Spain to Scandinavia, where they
are allowed to live in places with few people.
They are sometimes seen in mountain areas or
forests, but usually they prefer to keep away from
humans. So if we keep well away from them, we
are not in any danger.

Grammar reference
State verbs refer to a state or a condition, rather than an action. Countable nouns
They are not normally used with continuous verbs. Countable nouns refer to nouns which can be counted. They
