ЗАДАНИЕ НА ФОТКЕ What makes some people do incredibly dangerous sports? I prefer to watch sport from the comfort of my own armchair, so I’ve often asked that question. I think there are as many answers as there are people. Everyone has seen the thrill of the bungee jump: the image of someone at the top of a very high bridge while they’re waiting to throw themselves off. But why would any normal person decide to do something so dangerous? Well, clearly, there are many people who simply enjoy the danger. If bungee jumping is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, what about doing a dangerous sport for a living? There’s no way I’d ever do that! Look at Formula One, for example. It’s true that motor racing is much safer than it used to be – but you never know.
dangerous as sports like motor racing. There are often accidents as a result of horse riding and rugby, for example, but they are popular with thousands of people in the UK. In fact, I played rugby a lot when I was younger, and there were lots of accidents during every match! Luckily none of them were serious, though. But for me personally, the most frightening sport of all is skydiving. I can’t imagine wanting to jump out of an aeroplane. They say moving towards the Earth at high speed is the most amazing feeling. Then when your parachute opens, you come down gently. I’d love to know what that feels like, but I know I never will. It’s the ‘when your parachute opens’ bit that scares me. What if it doesn’t open? But I guess that’s why people enjoy these dangerous sports. It’s the ‘what if’ factor.

Hi Dasha, I hope you're well. Guess where I was last weekend! I decided to go to the Crazy Ride Adventure Park with my friends. The weather was great. There were so many rides I couldn't choose which one to go on. I tried the Mega roller coaster. It was great. We wanted to go to the Hall of Mirrors but we didn't because there was a very long queue. We tried candy floss but I didn't like it. We stayed until late in the evening. What about you? Did you visit your grandparents? Write back soon. Masha
