[06:11.88]Text Left-handed People [06:19.66]New Words and Expressions [06:23.56]left-handed [06:28.73]majority [06:34.71]right-handed [06:41.01]abnormal [06:46.78]left-hander [06:53.07]distrust [06:58.17]tendency [07:03.97]unfair [07:09.45]gradually [07:15.15]left-handedness [07:22.33]reject [07:27.95]disadvantage [07:33.93]implement [07:38.92]scissors [07:44.61]tin [07:49.11]opener [07:53.81]design [07:59.11]contrast [08:04.62]by contrast [08:10.11]kick [08:14.52]punch [08:19.51]bat [08:24.50]disconcert [08:29.68]accustomed [08:34.77]proportion [08:40.57]dominant [08:45.66]permanently [08:50.96]totally [08:56.16]vice versa [09:01.96]scratch [09:06.87]thread [09:11.37]needle [09:15.65]one-sided [09:21.35]right-hander [09:26.94]stem [09:31.64]potato [09:36.44]peeler [09:41.25]The majority of people about nine out of ten, [09:49.24]are right-handed.Up until recently, people who were left-handed [09:55.83]were considered abnormal.From the beginning of time [10:01.52]many people have believed that there is something wrong with left-handers. [10:07.71]Left-handed people have been distrusted or looked upon with disapproval [10:15.11]Once children showed this tendency,they were forced to use their right hands [10:22.08]But,this unfair attitude is gradually changing now. [10:27.98]Today,left-handedness is generally accepted [10:33.08]And there will certainly be more left-handers in the future [10:38.17]So,if you are left-handed,there's no need to feel lonely or rejected [10:45.85]But it is still a disadvantage in a world [10:50.14]where more people are right-handed.For example,most tools and implements [10:57.14]such as scissorsand tin openers are still designed for right-handed people. [11:03.93]In sports,by contrast,doing things with the left hand or foot is often an advantage. [11:13.52]Throwing,kicking,punching or battingfrom the'wrong'side may disconcert opponents [11:21.72]who are more accustomed to dealing with the majority of players [11:26.60]who are right-handed.This is why in most ball games at a professional level [11:34.78]a higher proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole [11:41.60]Children use both hands for quite a long time.First,one is dominant, [11:49.49]then the other,and most children do not become permanently right- [11:55.08]or left-handed until they are five or six years old. [12:00.07]Even then,no one is totally left-handed or right-handed. [12:05.97]Right-handed people do many things with their left hands,and vice versa [12:12.66]Of course,some activities such as shaking hands, [12:17.85]are only done with the right hand.There are some types of action which can be studied to see [12:25.95]if a person is right-handed or left-handed. [12:30.63]The first are actions which involve one hand [12:34.73]The most important is writing, [12:39.64]but we can also ask someone to scratch with one hand. [12:45.23]The second type covers activities involving both hands [12:51.94]clapping or threading a needle,for example. [12:56.12]Although we use both hands,one is more important or dominant. [13:02.92]You know whether you are right-handed.Nevertheless, [13:07.62]you are not a hundred percent one-sided. [13:12.61]Now,the right-handers of the world have begun to realize [13:17.91]how unfair the world has been to its left- handed members [13:23.32]So,help is on the way for the left-handers [13:28.10]In London,there is a shop which provides, [13:32.28]at reasonable prices,products for left-handed people from watches [13:38.49]with stems on the left of the face to left- handed scissors and potato peelers. |
