  •                      Listening

Some days ago I received this letter from Australia. My very good friend lives and works there. Listen to an extract from her letter.

 My sons are very brave boys. They spend a lot of their free time on the beach. I worry about them. They are good swimmers but their new hobby is terrible. Can you imagine? They do extreme sports! They enjoy surfing. I’m in despair. Could you advise me anything?

 

Natasha enclosed some photos. Look at them, please. Aren’t the boys happy?

Why is my friend worried? What would you advise her?
