Tips on tense questions：
 Circle the subject and tense markers in the sentences (if there is any).
 Underline the subject of the sentence
 However, you still need to understand the passage in context to write in the
correct tense.
 You don’t change the verb form after these words
(e.g. to, can, could, may, might, should, shall…)
 Revise all the previously taught grammar structures and tenses.

First of all, although doing exercise is important, Hong Kong people

seldom do sports. Data shows that only 12.1% of people aged 12-24 do
exercise daily. This means most Hong Kong people do not have enough

good chance for people to do more exercise.
