Pre – listening activity
T. You are going to listen to an interview about two other extreme sports. Look at our next slide (slide 12). Your task will be to fill in the missing information in your copybooks.
Listening
Reporter: Good morning, dear listeners. Today, on our weekly sports programme, we have Linda Evans, a windsurfing instructor and Harry Main who runs his own parachuting school. Right, Linda. What kind of equipment is needed for windsurfing?
Linda: Well, a board, of course, a wetsuit would also be a good idea for anyone planning to windsurf in cold water.
Reporter: And what does this sport offer?
Linda: It's a great way to keep fit and I also find it very relaxing. On the other hand, however, windsurfing is an expensive sport — lessons and equipment cost a lot.
Reporter: M-m-m. So what talents or skills does one need?
Linda: Oh, the beginner has to be very courageous. As the beginner also has to learn to stand on his board, a sense of balance is needed.
Reporter: I see. Now Harry, what attracted you to parachuting? What do we need except a parachute? Would you call it a safe sport?
Harry: Actually, all you need is a parachute and you can be guaranteed the most exciting experience of your life. However, parachuting is in fact a risky sport. I don't have to tell you why. And because of the lessons it is also very expensive. What you need is to be courageous. And good training is absolutely important. Moreover, anyone interested in taking up the sport, should definitely be fit.
Reporter: Thank you very much for the interview. Hope to see you again.
