You are given a block of text which explains the theory of this concept.
Once you have read the theory, do the exercises given below to test how well you have understood the ideas.
How to do the Exercises:

PRACTISE, spelt with an S, is a verb.
It means repeating a specific activity to improve.
PRACTISING sport is not correct.
You play rugby, you do gymnastics, you go sailing and you do sport, but you don't PRACTISE sport.

PRACTICE usually means a business composed of professionals who are partners, like a lawyers PRACTICE.
It can also mean a way of doing things that has taken many years to develop, like the PRACTICE of binding girl's feet in China.
