Igo skiing in the winter in Las Leñas in the Andes, but I haven’t  \ntried snowboarding. What about you? Are you a risk-taker or do you prefer being safe?  \nVocabulary Starter 3 Ask and answer the questions. Use words from  \nActivities, equipment and dangers Exercises 1 and 2 to answer them.  \n1 Match the words in the box with the pictures.  \nbungee jumping face guard goal helmet hockey stick ironing snowkiting ledge ski lift ski run snowboarding kit spectators vacuuming  \n2 Read the sentences. Can you guess what the underlined words mean?  \n1 If you want to ski, you need to find a slope to go down.  \n2 When a ball moves along the ground, it rolls.  \n3 I stepped awkwardly on a loose stone and twisted my ankle.  \n4 When Bob fell down the stairs his legs were badly bruised, but he didn’t break any bones.  \n5 Only a real thrill-seeker would try snowboarding off-piste.  \nA What do you do if your carpet is dirty? How do skiers get to the top of the ski run? What do hockey players use to hit the ball? What might you get if you fall over?  \nWhat can pull you along on skis on a windy day?  \nB What do you wear when playing a team sport? What do you do with clothes when they’re clean and dry?  \nWho watches a sporting event?  \nWhat could happen to your ankle if you don’t wear good walking boots?  \n41  \n12  \n14   \n10   \n11   \n13   \n9  \nReading  \n|  | | |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  | ~~ I love finding out about ~~ |  |  |\n|  |  | |  |  |\n|  |  |  bizarre sports The  |  |  |\n|  |  | ~~ best thing I’ve seen is ~~ |  |  |\n|  |  | |  |  |\n|  |  | ~~ bossaball in Ecuador . ~~ |  |  |\n|  |  | ~~ It’s a mix of football, ~~ |  |  |\n|  |  | |  |  |\n|  |  | g |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n| ~~  and gymnastics!  ~~ |  |  |  |  |\n| |  |  |  |  |\n| ~~  What about you?  ~~ |  |  |  |  |\n| |  |  |  |  |\n| ~~  Have you heard about  ~~ |  |  |  |  |\n| any strange |  |  | sports | or |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n| ~~  crazy events?  ~~ |  |  |  |  |\n| |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n\nvolleyball, trampolinin  \nRubén01BuenosAires  \nMore soon …watch this space!  \n1 Read the text quickly and choose the correct answer.  \nThe text is from  \nA a website advertising sports holidays.  \nB a magazine article on risky leisure time activities. C a newspaper article about recent sporting events.  \n2 Read the tip and the missing sentences. Underline the words in each sentence which will help you to link it to the text.  \nA For example, you could try the Irish sport of hurling.  \nB Most of them don’t realise how dangerous the event is.  \nC We’ve got an idea that will allow you to do both atthe same time.  \nD Others believe that the only activities worth doing are those which involve some real danger.  \nE However, snowy fields are just as good if the ice isn’t thick enough.  \nF But that is just one example.  \nG Today’s winter sports adrenaline junkies prefer heli-skiing or snowkiting.  \nH This is an event that is held every year in Britain.  \n3 Now read the text again and match the sentences A–H with the gaps. There is one extra sentence that you do not need to use.  \nThrills, danger and…  \nWhen you are choosing a sport or hobby to take up, what influences your decision? Some  \npeople may wish to avoid  \nexcessive risk. 1 So,   \n5 what activities could you  \ndo and how risky   \nare they? The risk-takers  \namong us enjoy  \n10 participating in extreme sports, but  \nwhat is fashionable changes every year.  \n15 Snowboarding and bungee jumping are just too well-known these days. 2  \nThe first requires a helicopter to fly you to the top of a mountain, far from the ski lifts and slopes full of ordinary  \n20 people.You then leap out and ski down the crisp, white snow. Of course, you’re skiing off-piste without marked runs and you don’t know whether you’re going to go off the edge of the mountain or start an avalanche, but that’st","cbCaimdrug6NH7HD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimdrug6NH7HD","pdf",8992308,12,"English","# Reading\n## Vocabulary Starter 3\n## Activities: Match words to pictures\n## Sentences: Guess meanings of underlined words\n## Ask and answer questions\n## Reading: Choose correct answer\n## Reading: Match sentences A–H to gaps\n## Text overview: Thrills, danger and…","[{\"question\":\"What should you do if you want to ski?\",\"answer\":\"You need to find a slope to go down.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are extreme sports described as risky?\",\"answer\":\"They involve activities where outcomes are uncertain, and injuries can be common without proper equipment and safety measures.\"},{\"question\":\"How does snowkiting work, according to the text?\",\"answer\":\"A large kite pulls the skier or snowboarder along, and on windy days it allows very fast speeds without relying on crowded ski lifts and queues.\"}]","Extreme Sports - Reading | PDF",1790873244]
