Of course,water sports have always been fun. In while-water rafting you sit in a small inflatable raft and go down a river at great speed. Fast fowing mountain rivers are the best. Then there is ice diving, for those people who are absolutely crazy. You put on diving equipment and dive under a frozen lake. And,if that's not enough, you then try to walk upside down on the ice! Mm,I feel cold just thinking about it.
Exercise 4 Listen to two people talking about extreme sports.Complete the table.
So tell me,Carol,what sort of extreme sports do you do?
I like bungee jumping. It's great,really exciting.
But what makes you do bungee jumping?
Well,I get nervous,you known. But when I'm jumping I feel great. It's like being a bird.
Really? What about other extreme sports?
Mm,I'd love to try sky surfing, but it's very expensive,you know.
Right.Are there any sports you wouldn't try?
Well,I love adventure, but even I wouldn't like to do snowrafting.There have been some terrible accidents. But I also don't like dull sports. I hate doing boring sports. Like tennis. Personall, I'd prefer to stay at home.
Oh,it's not that bad! Thank you very much,Carol. And now we have another 'extreme' sports fan, Jonathan. Jonathan,what extreme sports do you do?
