SPOGOMI

SpoGomi is a combination of two words, sport and gomi, the Japanese word for rubbish. Invented in 2008, SpoGomi was designed as a competitive activity to encourage people to clean up public spaces. It has since been introduced in Japanese schools, where students now collect litter while having fun.

According to the rules, teams of three players have 60 minutes to collect as much litter as possible from a designated area. The waste must be sorted into color-coded bags according to type, such as burnable waste, recyclable plastic, metal cans, and more. At the end of the competition, the collected litter is weighed and checked for correct sorting, and the team with the highest score wins. In the event of a tie, the winner is determined by the “quality” of the rubbish collected, with cigarette butts earning the most points.

The public-spirited sport of SpoGomi quickly gained popularity in Britain. In a surprising outcome, the British team beat the Japanese in the Spogomi World Cup celebrated in Tokyo in 2023. One of the winning competitors was Sarah Parry, a 29-year-old doctor from Glasgow, who—together with her two teammates—collected 28 kilograms more litter than the host nation.

Parry describes herself as highly competitive. After her brother came across an advertisement for SpoGomi, she assembled a team and signed up for the World Cup. “We were not avid litter-pickers in our free time,” she explains. “It was luck, competitiveness and enthusiasm more than anything else.”

Although litter-picking may sound calm, Parry emphasizes that it is physically demanding. “It’s very difficult,” she says. “I have run 33 marathons, and the sorest my legs have ever been was after winning the SpoGomi World Cup.” She explains that competitors must walk quickly while carrying a lot of awkwardly shaped items, sometimes collecting more than 50 kilograms of waste in a busy urban environment. This involves using very different muscle groups.

Parry believes SpoGomi is unlike any other sport: “It is very fun. You don’t often get the chance to play sport in a busy urban area where people don’t understand what you are doing and why you are so excited about spotting a glass bottle.” More importantly, she adds, SpoGomi has drawn attention to a very important issue: the litter problem affecting Britain’s streets. Although the sport originated in Japan, the country has far less litter than the UK. Parry hopes SpoGomi will become massively popular in her country and inspire people to care more about waste. “I wasn’t particularly eco-minded myself, and SpoGomi completely changed my perspective,” she notes.

SpoGomi is not really about rewards. Instead, participants of all ages enjoy the competitive nature of the sport, the teamwork that it encourages, the valuable time spent outdoors and, last but certainly not least, the opportunity to keep their cities clean. “That’s what’s really nice about the sport,” Parry concludes.

Solución del examen

BLOQUE A. Comprensión lectora

Sarah Parry afirma: “I wasn’t particularly eco-minded myself, and SpoGomi completely changed my perspective”.

A5

False.

Justificación: “people don’t understand what you are doing and why you are so excited about spotting a glass bottle”.

El texto sugiere que el público no suele comprender lo que hacen los participantes, no que los anime habitualmente.

BLOQUE C. Writing

C1. How could your hometown be improved? Explain.

My hometown is a pleasant place to live, but there are several ways in which it could be improved. First of all, public transport should be more frequent and reliable. Many people depend on buses to go to school, university or work, but they often have to wait too long. Better connections would also reduce the number of cars in the streets.

Another important improvement would be the creation of more green areas. Parks are essential because they give people a place to walk, practise sport and relax. They are especially useful for children and elderly people.

In addition, the town council should invest more money in cleaning and recycling. Some streets look neglected, and there are not enough recycling bins in certain neighbourhoods.

Finally, I think there should be more cultural activities for young people, such as concerts, exhibitions or language exchanges. These changes would make my hometown cleaner, more sustainable and more attractive for everyone.

Número aproximado de palabras: 157.

C2. Do you believe social media influences how teenagers see themselves? Give reasons.

Social media clearly influences how teenagers see themselves. Platforms such as Instagram, TikTok or Snapchat are full of edited pictures, filters and idealised lifestyles. As a result, many teenagers compare their appearance, clothes or popularity with what they see online. This can make them feel insecure or dissatisfied with their own lives.

Another problem is that social media gives too much importance to likes, comments and followers. Some teenagers may start to believe that their value depends on other people’s reactions. This can affect their confidence and mental health.

However, social media is not always negative. It can also help young people express themselves, find communities with similar interests and learn about important issues. The key is to use it critically and remember that online content is often selected, edited or exaggerated.

In conclusion, social media has a strong influence on teenagers’ self-image, but education and responsible use can reduce its negative effects.
