3 C omplete this extract from the interview with Matt Robinson (see Infotech Student’s Book
page 148) by choosing the correct adjective or adverb from the drop-down menus.
HELP? Interviewer:  So which game genres do you think will be the most popular in the future?
Matt: I think console games will play a (1) large part in shaping the future of games, while
(2) simultaneously helping to attract a (3) new audience. Games like Wii Sports have already
proven (4) immensely popular, just by emulating real-world games such as tennis and bowling, and
making them as (5) easy to play as their real-life counterparts. You (6) simply move
the controller around. Of course, the more (7) traditional video game genres, such as Halo and
Burnout, will continue to sell just as (8) good as they always have. (9) Finally , there’s
online gaming. As connection speeds increase, and hardware improves, so does the potential to create
(10) full living online worlds, much like you see in Second Life, for example.
