17. EMPOWERING CONTEXT

18. "A newspaper is better than a magazine. A seashore is a better place
than a street. At first it is better to run than to walk. You may have to
try several times. It takes some skill, but it is easy to learn. Even young
children can enjoy it. Once successful, complications are minimal.
Birds seldom get too close. Rain, however, soaks in very fast. Too
many people doing the same thing can also cause problems. One
needs lots of room. If there are no complications it can be very
peaceful. A rock will serve as an anchor. If things break loose from it,
however, you will not get a second chance.“
• We suspect that the Paragraph made little or no sense for you.
