Pair work. Read the article and answer the
questions.
Activity 2: discussion
1. Who uses the other hand more often,
lefties or righties? Why?
2. What is the advantage of being
ambidextrous over being left-handed?
CAN LEFTIES DO IT RIGHT?
Leonardo
da Vinci, Marilyn Monroe, Paul McCatney, Pelé, Bill Gates…What do all these
people have in common? They are all left-handed!
Being
left-handed means that you find it more straightforward to do things with your
left hand than with your right. It may also mean that you prefer to use your
left foot or left eye(for example, with a camera).
Depending
on how you define it, between 10% and 30% of people are left-handed. But most
left- handers use their right hand for at least some things like shaking hands.
Some
people can do things with both hands equally well. Being ambidextrous is a big
advantage over being a lefty, because we live in a world designed for
right-handed people.
If
you are lefty, take heart. Many famous lefties have risen above these
challenges and succeeded, as Leonardo, Marilyn, Paul, Pelé and Bill Gates have
shown.
