Read the passage carefully and ans the question 1-2:
Traditional childhood pastimes of climbing trees and playing
conkers are in decline, according to a 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 people over 55, according to a survey by RSPB.People
were asked which of the twelve childhood outdoor experiences they could
remember. 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 the opportunities, with
negative consequences for children, families and society-condition now known as
nature deficit disorder. Mike Clarke, chief executive of the RSPB, will
meet parliament members urge the government to join other organisations in
providing children with fin hand experiences of the natural environment....
"We believe this guidan should include the many positive impacts to
children of having contact w nature and learning outside the classroom."
