The Disadvantages of Hosting a 2010 World CupIn Feburary 2016 09,

In Feburary 2016 09,
Hosting the World Cup costs the host country an enormous amount of money. For the 2010 tournament, the initial projections for costs were far too low. According to Professor Richard Tomlinson of the University of Melbourne, as of June 2010, costs had spiraled out of control, and South Africa had spent approximately US$4 billion on preparations for the event. Although there are economic benefits to hosting the tournament, Tomlinson called them 'vastly overstated.'
Inflation
One of the main concerns among nations hosting the tournament, especially poor nations, is that the influx of well-heeled foreigners will drive up the costs of basic goods. According to FIFA, soccer's main ruling body and the main group responsible for organizing the World Cup, of the perceived potential disadvantages of hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup, inflation was the biggest concern for South Africans polled about the drawbacks of hosting the games, with 70% believing it would increase the prices of consumer goods.
Infrastructural Damage
One of the other drawbacks of hosting a World Cup is the wear and tear done to a country's infrastructure and services during the event. While South Africa spent billions of dollars upgrading its infrastructure to accommodate the event, significant pressure was put on it by the more than a million tourists who made use of its facilities during the monthlong tournament.
Crime
According to the Human Sciences Research Council, one on the main fears of South Africans was the World Cup would increase the crime rate. Approximately one-quarter of respondents in a series of polls stated they believed crime would increase, presumably because of the arrival of thousands wealthy tourists.
Diversion of Resources
Another disadvantage of hosting the World Cup can be a country's diversion of resources to managing the game. In an effort to make sure the games are given proper security and visitors provided proper accommodations, a country, particularly a poor one such as South Africa, might temporarily siphon off some of the services normally provided to its residents.

How to Find a Free English TutorIn Feburary 2016 04,

In Feburary 2016 04,
Start with your school. Talk to your English teacher, your guidance counselor and your principal. Many schools have after-school homework help or tutoring programs.
Know your rights. If you live in a poor district, your school may be obligated to provide free tutoring under the No Child Left Behind Act. Find out if your school is a title I school (See Resources below). If it is, you have the right to demand free tutoring.
Talk to friends, older siblings and parents. If you know someone with strong English skills, see if he would be willing to tutor you after school.
Do a Web search. Many communities have free tutoring programs that you can find online. They may be held at the municipal library or recreation center, or at a nonprofit organization in the community.
Check local churches. Many religious organizations offer free tutoring after school on the weekends. Whether you are part of their faith or not, they will be glad to help you with your school work.
