第 43 课：extreme sports and other sports 极限运动和其他运动 - 2
A; are extreme sports popular in your country?
B; they're not very popular. Only a relatively small number of people do them. Many people enjoy watching them on TV. There's a very popular TV programme on each week, which looks at extreme sports and the people who participate in them.
A; which sports are usually featured on the programme?
B; bungee jumping, skydiving, and cliff diving are the most common, but there are other kinds of sports, such as motor racing and skateboarding.
A: I think that the people who do the skateboarding are very skilled. It must be take a lot of practice to stay on the skateboard whilst doing so many jumps and turns.
B; the kids who do it are so young. Well, it's better for them than sitting at home watching the TV all day!
A; would you like to try any extreme sports?
B: I'm going to bungee jumping on Saturday. I'm very nervous about it, but my friends convinced me to give it a try.
A; I'm sure you'll be safe. The organizers have lots of safety procedures. Can I come and watch?
B; I guess so. You might even be tempted to do a bungee jump.
A; I might. It's something I've often thought about doing.
