Good Luck.
Doctors in Germany have warned [people / humans] that headbanging could be bad for your health. Headbanging is a dance [done / played] by fans of heavy metal music. Dancers shake their [hands / heads] backwards and forwards, and from side to [back / side] , very quickly. Doctors say that it is possible the dance can [result / lead] to brain injury. German doctors recently treated a 50-year-old fan of the heavy [steel / metal] band Motorhead. His headbanging [led / bled] to brain damage. Doctors said the man had no previous history [of / for] head injuries but had been headbanging regularly for many years. The doctors said the risk of [damaging / damage] to the brain from headbanging was still low and said heavy metal fans do not need to stop [doing / done] the dance.

The man complained of [badly / bad] headaches after going to a Motorhead concert. He went to hospital for a [brainy / brain] scan. Doctors found he had bleeding [inside / inner] his brain. He needed an operation to repair the damage from the headbanging. Doctors drilled a [cavity / hole] in his brain to release some blood. Two months after the operation his headaches [disappeared / disappearance] . The head doctor Ariyan Pirayesh said: "We are not [against / for] headbanging. The risk of injury is very, very low. I think if our patient had gone to a [classical / classic] concert, this would not have happened." He had [good / well] news for heavy metal fans and said they should carry [out / on] enjoying dancing, saying: " Rock 'n' roll will never die. Heavy metal fans should rock [on / off] ."
