Exercise 4
There are more than 500 million left-handed people in the world. There are also
many left-handers who are famous. Recent American presidents who are left-handed
are Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Actors such as Tom Cruise and
Robert De Niro and women like Queen Elizabeth II and Nicole Kidman are also left-
handed. In the old days, people thought left-handed people were bad. In Japan a long
time ago, a man could ask for a divorce if he found that his wife was left-handed. Today,
it’s not bad to be left-handed.
