Dangerous sports in English. Extreme sports

Hey! The expression "Sport is life" has long become an indisputable truth. Indeed, people who go in for sports professionally or amateur live longer, more interesting and brighter. Since you are learning English, you need to know the names of your favorite sports in English in order, for example, to write an essay or share your hobby with your English-speaking friends.

There are different kinds of sports: winter, summer, Olympic, Russian, American, team and individual, etc. There are also unusual sports, extreme and even dangerous. We each have our favorite sports and champions that we want to look up to. Even if we are not actively involved in football, we still have favorite teams, which we root for at all matches.

There are even computer sports in which thousands of gamers and computer geniuses compete every year. We love some competitions (hockey, dancing, figure skating, chess), others we do not understand or accept (cricket, curling, baseball). But they do exist, and we need to know their names in English, as well as the names of their professions in English, in order to be able to tell about ourselves.

Speed, excitement, danger. You can find all these in the different extreme sports that have become popular last 10 years. Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you fall and fall, and then, just before you hit the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back. In skysurfing you jump out of aeroplane and use a board to “surf” the air, doing gymnastics in mid-air! And extreme sports on land can be just as dangerous.

Winter sports have always an element of danger. For example snowboarding, which has all the excitement of surfing but on snow, is more dangerous even than skiing. Probably the most dangerous of all the new winter sports is snowrafting. You sit in a rubber boat and sail down a mountain at great speed - and you can "t control the boat!

Of course, water sports have always been fun. Ice diving, for those people who are absolutely crasy. You put on diving equipment and dive under a frosen lake. And, if that "s not enough, you try to walk upside down on the ice! I feel cold just thinking about it.

A lot of people are not fit nowadays. It "s a big problem today. If you want to feel fit you" d better go in for one kind of sport or another. I think that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. To tell the truth I don "t do sports regularly and it is not an essential part of my daily life. In the morning I do some exercises just to awake. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful lake with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter I swim in the swimming pool. I like to ride the bike. I shouldn "t call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV, like hockey or football. But most of all I admire extreme kinds of sport. I think they are really cool.

Many people are unwell these days. And this is a big problem today. If you want to be vigorous and healthy it is better to do this or that sport.

Extreme sports

Many people do sport nowadays. It helps us to keep fit, to be healthy and organized. It also builds character and we can learn to work in a team. There are many different kinds of sports: football, swimming, tennis, gymnastics, etc.

But some sports, for example, snowboarding, parachuting, scuba diving, rock climbing, rafting or surfing are considered extreme. For these type sports, you need lots of training, fast reaction and great health. Doing these sports teaches us to overcome difficulties and also how to survive in an emergency. People learn not to lose control, develop patience and get rid of their fears. When we risk, we learn how to use our head at first, and act only after thinking.

Today more and more people start doing extreme sports. People of all ages find these activities entertaining, so they spend a lot of time paragliding, going up mountains or swimming with sharks.

As for me, I believe these sports are dangerous and risky. But this doesn`t mean I never wanted to do any of these activities. I don`t want to jump with a parachute, but I always dreamt of scuba diving. I am a very good swimmer, and someday I will go to another country, take some classes and achieve my dream.
