A REPORT (UNIT 8)

REPORT ON ADVENTURE SPORTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Introduction

The aim of this report is to suggest some adventure sports which young people would be interested, how they would benefit from doing these sports and in consequence to encourage these people to join our club, Gimnasia y Tiro.

Which adventure sports?

I think young people would be interested in Rafting or Mountain Biking. The first one is the challenging recreational outdoor activity of using an inflatable raft to navigate a river. The other one is the sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially designed mountain bikes. This lasts up to four days depending on the circuit.

Benefits

Doing these activities would benefit young people by acquiring more decision and attitude to face their fears, encouraging team spirit and giving them a sense of adventure. And at the same time they would get fitter.

Conclusion

I recommend organising a Mountain Biking group, because young people could participate in it in different categories, and we have every year competences like “Yungas circuit” or “Cachi pure adventure”. Young people could find this sport very exciting and new for our club.

TO BE FAMOUS OR TO BE WELL- KNOWN?

Many people dream of being famous someday. The fact that live with a lot of money, a luxurious house, an expensive car and a crazy life sometimes with just one TV appearance, make people very dreamy. And with or without talent, sometimes people have their own 30 seconds to fame, and for that always earn some money. And that is enough for this people.
   Although be famous can be exciting, there are some disadvantages. First of all there isn’t privacy. You became a known and public person, and you can’t get away of this. Moreover, paparazzis will not let you live peacefully, and it’s a big problem. Finally, you must be always a nice and a kind person for your fans, even if you had a bad day.
   In despite of this, I think that is more important being a well known person than just a famous. Thus you can live a bit quietly, because if you choose the life of partys and vices, you can’t sleep in peace. And it will be badly for your public image. However, if you don’t worry about that, you can be happy being yourself and let the people speak. It’s not your problem! 

A LETTER (EDITED)

Dear Mr Reid,
I have seen your advertisement on the Internet and I want to apply for a summer job as a sports supervisor in your camp.
I am interested in that job because I love children and I like sports. I think that I have the just patience for teens, because I have four nephews and I enjoy myself with them. Also, I need to practise for my future like an English teacher.
Could you please tell me how much do you offer for the job?
I am an 23 year old student from Argentina. I am in the second year of the English Teacher Training of the Franklin Institute, and I am going to apply for the Pre Intermediatly Exam of Cambridge. Last year I had passed the KET one, so I have some knowledge about the language.
I look foward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Karina Kehl

WRITING AN EMAIL

Dear Caroline,

Thanks for your email! I think we're connected because I was searching the same! And of course that I'm interesting to go. But on what date approximately?

You've mentioned that I can choose which subject I want to study and do a lots of sports. That's a good idea! Because actually I'm interesting in physical education and I need practise more sports. But what sports can I choose?

And tell me, how much does the summer camp cost? Is the trip include in the final price? By the way, I prefer the Great Barrier Reef because I love the water and it would be more exciting than visiting the Australia desert. I'm a fan of diving too! What do you think?. What do you prefer? Is any other option?

Let me know soon.

Kisses,

Karii

A REVIEW

PIZZA HOOP

The first time that I heared about Pizza Hoop was trough a very good friend. How right was he! Pizzas Hoop is a restaurant where you can find the richest pizzas in Salta. It's in 315 Alvarado street, opposite to a square and near a swimming pool. 

You could find there a different kinds of pizzas. The tastier one that I'd never eaten before was the Balcarce, with cheese, chicken, eggs, palm heart and golf sauce. Of course, you could choose others dishes, like empanadas, locro, humitas, and now free past. It was a family place, the decor was simple and the waiters were very polite.

I really enjoyed the Calzone too. It was more delicious and cheaper than other places. And with free past, you could put away money for another meal or for a drink. I particulary liked the taste and the atention in this place, and of course it have all the normal services in a restaurant. 

I think that everyone will enjoy Pizza Hoop because it combines a nice place, differents tastes and rasonable prices for all the family or simply a friend's group. I recommend it!

Writing a story

Last summer, I traveled to Tilcara for a short holidays, and it was something I'll never forget. First of all I was very excited because I'd never visited that place yet, and I had to travel alone because some friends were there when I decided to go.

With my new best friends! :)

It was a sunny Sunday when I bought a ticket for my unforgettable vacations. The number was 45. Yes! The last ticket! And for that I knew it was a very good signal. I've been lucky. Into the bus, I met my "new best friends", Jime, Ema and Cristian, with whom I spent an enjoyable time in Tilcara. But my plan was meet my others friends there, because they had a place to stay, a tent, some food and others things that I didn't take and I needed.

When I arrived Tilcara, I noticed with surprise that my friends were not my friends. They gave me a different adresses of them, and I phoned them a lot of times but I didn't have answers. I was so sad because they dissapointed me, and I didn't know what I had to do. Fortunately, my new best friends were very kind with me, and I stay with them, in their tent, with their food and their stuffs. It was very funny, because I never imagine that it was happen with me. Anyway, my short holidays were better than I'd planned, and I want to comeback there next year!

DANCING SALSA

I first got interested in dancing salsa for a very good friend, José. He loves that latin rhythm, and he took me and another friend to a dancing club and we really enjoy that. After that, I started to look for a club or a gym to practise salsa maybe everyday. But I found just one place to dancing in my freetime, for that, I began salsa twice a week with my best friend, Cintia.

We started it a month ago, and we want continue for all the year. But we need other place to do it, because now we're dancing alone, and really we want dance with a couple.

Salsa is a funny and a healthy dancing. I feel very happy when I'm dancing, and I share more time with my friend before I start to work. Sometimes I imagine that I'm in a salsa competition, and for that I do the best. Actually, I'm not a very well dancer, but I believe it , je.

Well, I'd recommend it as a hobby because it's very satisfying if you try it, and when you're dancing, you forget all your diary problems in the work or maybe in your house. So, let´s start!
