Exercise 91
IELTS Reading: choose the title Choose the best title for the passage below. A) The story of a visionary cycling coach. B) Cycling’s ‘marginal gains’ theory and its application in schools. C) The man behind Britain’s Olympic cycling success. D) How cyclists implement the ‘marginal gains’ concept. E) Schools have improved since the Olympic Games. One simple, but highly effective, lesson from the Olympics comes from the visionary British cycling coach, Dave Brailsford. Brailsford believes that by breaking down and identifying every tiny aspect of an athlete's performance and then making just a 1% improvement in each area, the athlete's overall performance can be significantly enhanced. His concept of 'the aggregation of marginal gains' has been making transformative ripples in classrooms and schools ever since the cycling team came to prominence a few years ago. What is so brilliant about Brailsford's marginal gains concept is that it is so flexible. It provides an accessible, precise and useful language for achieving success in a school context in various ways: from students improving their learning, to teachers looking to enhance their pedagogy, and, more broadly, school leaders looking to make small, but highly significant improvements.

At six o’clock he visited the reading room of the library and read The Times. In the evening he attended the theatre or a concert, after which he had dinner at a hotel or Simon 128 IELTS reading exercises Compiled by Ulugbek Yusupov Created by Proper English School +998 90 770-99-77 Page 52 restaurant.
