Exercise 1.
Outdoor sports and activities
We often do sports and activities at a gym or a sports
centre, but sometimes we do them outdoors, in a
natural environment. Outdoor sports and activities
are sometimes competitive. This means that we do
them in a race or a competition because we want
to win a prize. Recreational means that we do them
because they are fun.
We usually do outdoor sports and activities in three
different places: on land, in the air or in the water.
Horse riding, mountain biking and climbing are land
activities. We often go climbing on mountains or large
rocks. Bungee jumping, parachuting and paragliding
are air activities. We jump from a high place like
a bridge when we do bungee jumping. Canoeing,
waterskiing and windsurfing are water activities.
We go canoeing in rivers and waterskiing and
windsurfing in the sea.
