Good Luck.
A top designer for one of the world's most [popularity / popular] computer games has said that video games should [be / make] an Olympics sport. Rob Pardo, who was [chief / chef] creative designer for the World of Warcraft game, told the BBC his game and [another / other] video games should be part [of / for] the Olympic Games. He said the competition needed to become more modern and up-to-date. He [added / add] that millions of people around the world love playing and watching [compete / competitive] gaming, which is also [known / knowing] as e-sports. Mr Pardo said: "I think the way that you [look / view] at e-sports is that it's a very competitive skillset….You look at these professional gamers and the reflexes are lightning quick…. and they're having to make very [quickly / quick] decisions on the fly."

Pardo told the BBC that it would [have / be] difficult to get e-sports into the Olympics. He said many people do not even see it as a [really / real] sport. He argues it is [proper / properly] sport because it takes a lot of physical effort and [skill / skillful] and is very exciting to watch. He believes it is a better and more popular sport than many of [them / those] already in the Olympics. Pardo said many people did not want [gaming / gambling] to become an Olympic sport because it is based on [technology / technological] and not athleticism. The PC Magazine website [suggests / suggestions] there should be a separate international competition just for e-sports, that could follow a format [similar / like] the Olympics. This would make gaming the star of the show rather than just another event [among / between] many in the Olympics.
