 I have always thought that games are for children only. However, mafia proved the opposite. This game is played mostly by teens and adults. We usually meet at the pizza place or at local McDonalds to play mafia. The rules of the game are simple. The presenter hands out special role cards to all players. The participants don’t show their cards to anyone and keep their roles in secret. Some cards present mafia members and some – innocent people. There are also special cards for the detective, doctor and policeman. Different groups play it differently. Some may have a bartender in their team or a lawyer. Everything depends on players and on how they want to play the game. So, the game also has two phases: night and day. The presenter is the person who doesn’t play just speaks. When he says it’s night time, everybody goes to sleep. When he says it’s day time, everybody should wake up. Mafia members should “kill” someone during the night while everyone is sleeping. They do it simply by pointing at one innocent person. When everyone is awake, the presenter announces who was killed and the team start guessing who the mafia members are. In my opinion, it is an engaging and interesting game, especially when you play with your good friends. By the way, this game has been invented in 1986 in the corridors of Moscow State University.

Extreme sports fans are crazy!
Young people are striving to become strong and independent. They think that doing extreme sports, they become more and more popular and respectable among their peers, friends and enemies.
They start to go mountain biking, scuba diving, jumping with parachutes and other extreme sports.
Young people on motorbikes are dangerous because they drive at very high speed and they can cause an accident in which they and other people will die.

Mountain Biking is one of the kinds of extreme sports, but very expensive. Everyone knows that mountain bikes cost a lot more than usual.
When we were children, we all learned to ride a bike. It was always fun and exciting.                                                                                                               Mountain biking rides through the mountains or forests, and, of course, this is much more dangerous. Sometimes bikers are forced to remain in the wilds for a few days to perform their tricks.
Mountain bikers have the whole day to fish in rivers and lakes  and get any food for themselves. They have their own camping where they live.
Mountain Biking is a very risky sport, because during the time of crossing the countryside and hills, you can break your arm or leg, or even get some health problems, but this sport makes people be strong, courageous and energetic.

Любители экстремальных видов спорта сумасшедшие!
Молодые люди стремятся стать сильными и независимыми. Они думают, что занимаясь экстремальными видами спорта, они становятся все более и более популярными и уважаемыми среди своих сверстников, друзей и врагов.
Они начинают кататься на горном велосипеде, заниматься подводным плаванием с аквалангом, прыжками с парашютом и другими экстремальными видами спорта.
Молодые люди на мотоциклах становятся опасными, потому что они едут на очень высокой скорости, и они могут стать причиной несчастного случая, в котором они и другие люди могут погибнуть.
Горный велосипед - это один из видов экстремального спорта, но очень дорогой. Всем известно, что горные велосипеды стоят гораздо больше, чем обычные.
Когда мы были детьми, мы все учились ездить на велосипеде. Это всегда было весело и увлекательно. На горных велосипедах катаются на через горы или леса, и, конечно, это гораздо опаснее. Иногда  байкеры вынуждены оставаться в дебрях в течение нескольких дней, чтобы выполнить свои трюки.
Горные велосипедисты должны целыми днями ловить рыбу в реках и озерах. У них свои собственные кемпинги, где они живут.
Горный велосипед - это очень рискованный вид спорта, потому что во время пересечения местности  и возвышенностей, вы можете сломать себе руку или ногу, или еще получить какие-нибудь проблемы со здоровьем, но этот вид спорта заставляет людей быть сильными, смелыми и энергичными.
