Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, _______ it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.” Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they _______ develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to _______ their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a _______ turn it so it relates to the way you are facing. If you leave your bike in a _______ place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
