The organisers of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa are hoping it will stimulate the nation's 
economy and leave a lasting physical and social legacy. Danny Jordaan, the man who led the bid 
to secure the event, believes hosting the World Cup could be worth as much as $6 billion to 
South Africa, while also boosting the construction, telecommunications and tourist industries. 
South Africa predicts at least 400,000 people will visit the country for the tournament, the first World 
Cup ever to be held in Africa. Some 160,000 jobs are expected to be created from hosting the event, 
according to the national football bid committee. Furthermore, it is estimated that for each visitor to the 
World Cup, another 150 will be indirectly influenced in their perceptions about the host country
through word-of-mouth by the fans when they return home, or as a result of global television coverage 
of the event. 
Read to improve your vocabulary 
While you are looking for keywords it is not necessary to understand every word in the 
passage. However, you must know over 50% of the words if you want to understand 
the main points of the passage. It is very important to have a program of vocabulary 
development to learn 5 to 10 new words a day. One good useful way to do this is by 
reading articles that you find interesting in newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias and 
textbooks. The best way to improve your vocabulary knowledge is to read things that 
interest you. Collect vocabulary (words, collocations, phrases) in a notebook. For every 
new word you learn, find a good example sentence which includes the new word in it. 
Expanding your vocabulary is important not only for your reading, but also for your 
writing, speaking and listening.
