Intermediate:
A:Are extreme sports popular in your country?
B:They are not very popular.Only a relatively small number of people do them.Many people enjoy watching them on TV.There’s a very popular TV programme on each week,which looks at extreme sports and the people who participate in them.
A:Which sports are usually featured on the programme?
B: Bungee jumping, sky diving, and cliff diving are the most common, but there are other kinds of sports, such as motor racing and skateboarding.
A:I think that the people who do the skateboarding are very skilled.It must take a lot of practice to stay on the skateboard while doing so many jumps and turns.
B:The kids who do it are so young.Well,it’s better for them than sitting at home watching the TV all day.
A:Would you like to try any extreme sports?
B:I’m going bungee jumping on Saturday.I’m very nervous about it,but my friends convince me to give it a try.
A:I’m sure you’ll be safe.The organizers have lots of safety procedures.Can I come and watch?
B:I guess so.You might even be tempted to do a bungee jump.
A:I might.It’s something I’ve often thought about doing. |
