Which of the following activities can you see in the pictures in the text? What does each of the activities involve? Read and listen to find out. Out of ordinary A. Brian Potter has been sandboarding for the past seven years. He loves it because he can do it pretty much anywhere there is sand! He says, "I'm a real speed freak and I find nothing more exciting than to take out my board and whizz down the sand dunes." The general idea of sand-boarding is the same as snowboarding. People simply strap a board to their feet and slide down a hill. Brian says, "Last year, I entered the International Sandboarding Championships in Germany. There were around 50,000 entrants and I came 100th, so I was pretty proud." B. Carla Murphy is known in certain circles as a "zorbanaut". This is because she spends some of her free time inside a large inflatable plastic ball called a zorb. "Zorbing is so much fun, I just can't get enough," she says. Zorbing involves rolling down a steep hill strapped inside a ball which can reach speeds of up to 50 to 60 kmph if the hill is steep enough. Up to three people can be inside at the same time. "It's fantastic. You're totally protected from bumps and knocks by the zorb, but you bounce around as if you are weightless. Anyone from 6 to 60 can do it," Carla explains. This bizarre activity originated in New Zealand and now there are centres all around the world. Carla thinks it's great. "When we start rolling, we just start laughing and we can't stop." C. Paul Lynch has been practising ice climbing for several years now and has climbed many frozen waterfalls. "My parents took me skiing to the Alps when I was a child and ever since, I've been addicted to the mountains. I moved to Canada a few years ago and I fell in love with ice climbing. I spend most of my free time climbing ice in the Rockies. Basically, ice climbing involves swinging an axe into the ice above your head and pulling yourself up on it. You need a lot of equipment such as a helmet, rope and boots for ice climbing. And of course, it's very physical, so you really have to be in good shape," says Paul. D. Harry Bolton didn't really like sport at all until he discovered something both new and unusual. "I was listening to the radio one day when I heard something that I thought must have been a joke. The DJ was talking about underwater hockey! When I realised it actually was a real sport, I decided to find out more about it. To my surprise, I found a local team and before I knew it, I was part of it!" Unlike water polo, where the action takes place above the water, underwater hockey is played at the bottom of the pool. Players wear masks, flippers and snorkels during the game. "The rules are really simple, you just have to slide the puck into the opposing team's goal," says Harry. Underwater hockey was invented by a British diving club in 1954 and was originally called Octopush. Harry told us, "Unfortunately it's not much of a spectator sport, as all people watching from outside the pool can see are lots of splashing and flippers!" • Ice Climbing • Underwater Hockey • Sandboarding • Zorbing • Skydiving • Snowboarding • Rock Climbing • Paragliding

The pictures are imaged non-traditional sports such as sandboarding, zorbing, ice climbing and underwater hockey.

•
Sanboarding is a very interesting sport. It's like snowboarding, but only on the sand. Athletes skate the board but on the sand.

•
Zorbing is a very unusual sport. You need to have a huge ball and you need to attach yourself inside and slide down. This is dangerous, I think.

•
Ice climbing is a very difficult sport with special equipment. You have to be very physically developed, you need to stick an ax into the ice over your head and pull yourself up on it.

•
Underwater hockey is a very intraditional sport. Athletes play at the bottom of a pool filled with water. They are dressed in special suits, fins and snorkels.

Which of the following activities can you see in the pictures in the text? What does each of the activities involve? Read and listen to find out. Какие из следующих видов деятельности вы можете увидеть на картинках к тексту? В чем заключается каждый вид деятельности? Прочитайте, послушайте и выясните. Out of ordinary Экстраординарное A. Brian Potter has been sandboarding for the past seven years. He loves it because he can do it pretty much anywhere there is sand! He says, "I'm a real speed freak and I find nothing more exciting than to take out my board and whizz down the sand dunes." The general idea of sand-boarding is the same as snowboarding. People simply strap a board to their feet and slide down a hill. Brian says, "Last year, I entered the International Sandboarding Championships in Germany. There were around 50,000 entrants and I came 100th, so I was pretty proud." Брайан Поттер занимается сэндбордингом последние семь лет. Он любит это, поскольку он может заниматься им везде, где есть песок! Он говорит: "Я помешан на настоящей скорости и не вижу ничего более потрясного, чем взять свою доску и со свистом промчаться вниз по песчаным дюнам". Главная идея сэндбординга аналогична сноубордингу. Люди просто прикрепляют доску к ногам и скользят вниз с холма. Брайан говорит: "В прошлом году я участвовал в Международном чемпионате по сэндбордингу в Германии. Там было около 50000 участников и я пришел 100-м, так что я был очень горд." B. Carla Murphy is known in certain circles as a "zorbanaut". This is because she spends some of her free time inside a large inflatable plastic ball called a zorb. "Zorbing is so much fun, I just can't get enough," she says. Zorbing involves rolling down a steep hill strapped inside a ball which can reach speeds of up to 50 to 60 kmph if the hill is steep enough. Up to three people can be inside at the same time. "It's fantastic. You're totally protected from bumps and knocks by the zorb, but you bounce around as if you are weightless. Anyone from 6 to 60 can do it," Carla explains. This bizarre activity originated in New Zealand and now there are centres all around the world. Carla thinks it's great. "When we start rolling, we just start laughing and we can't stop." Карла Мерфи известна в определенных кругах как "зорбанавт". Это потому, что она проводит часть своего свободного времени внутри большого надувного пластикового шара, называемого зорб. "Зорбинг - это так весело, я просто не могу насытиться им", - говорит она. Зорбинг включает в себя скатывание вниз с крутого холма, вы привязаны внутри шара, который катится со скоростью до 50-60 км в час, если склон холма достаточно крутой. До трех человек могут быть внутри одновременно. "Это фантастика. Ты полностью защищена зорбом от ушибов и ударов, но ты кувыркаешься, как будто ты в невесомости. Любой в возрасте от 6 до 60 лет может сделать это", объясняет Карла. Эта странное развлечение зародилось в Новой Зеландии, и теперь центры зорбинга есть по всему миру. Карла считает, что это здорово. "Когда мы начинаем катиться, мы просто начинаем смеяться и не можем остановиться." C. Paul Lynch has been practising ice climbing for several years now and has climbed many frozen waterfalls. "My parents took me skiing to the Alps when I was a child and ever since, I've been addicted to the mountains. I moved to Canada a few years ago and I fell in love with ice climbing. I spend most of my free time climbing ice in the Rockies. Basically, ice climbing involves swinging an axe into the ice above your head and pulling yourself up on it. You need a lot of equipment such as a helmet, rope and boots for ice climbing. And of course, it's very physical, so you really have to be in good shape," says Paul. Пол Линч практикуется в ледолазании уже несколько лет и забрался уже на многие замерзшие водопады. "Мои родители брали меня в Альпы кататься на лыжах, когда я был ребенком, и с тех пор я одержим горами. Я переехал в Канаду несколько лет назад и влюбился в ледолазание. Я провожу много времени взбираясь по льдам в Скалистых горах. Суть ледолазания заключается в том, чтобы воткнуть топор в лед поверх своей головы и подтянуться на нем. Требуется много оборудования, такого как шлем, канат и ботинки для ледолазания. И, конечно, этот вид спорта очень требователен к физической силе, поэтому необходимо быть в хорошей форме", - говорит Пол. D. Harry Bolton didn't really like sport at all until he discovered something both new and unusual. "I was listening to the radio one day when I heard something that I thought must have been a joke. The DJ was talking about underwater hockey! When I realised it actually was a real sport, I decided to find out more about it.

Underwater hockey was invented by a British diving club in 1954 and was originally called Octopush. Harry told us, "Unfortunately it's not much of a spectator sport, as all people watching from outside the pool can see are lots of splashing and flippers!" Гарри Болтон совсем не любил спорт, пока не открыл для себя нечто новое и необыкновенное. "Однажды я слушал радио и услышал то, что я воспринял как шутку. ДиДжей рассказывал о подводном хоккее! Когда я осознал, что это реальный спорт, я решил разузнать о нем побольше. К моему удивлению, я нашел местную команду и прежде чем "пришел в себя", я уже стал ее частью!" В отличие от водного поло, где действие происходит над водой, подводный хоккей играется на дне бассейна. Игроки надевают маски, ласты и трубки во время игры. "Правила очень просты, вам просто нужно загнать шайбу в ворота команды противника", говорит Гарри. Подводный хоккей был изобретен британским водолазным клубом в 1954 году и первоначально назывался "Octopush" (другое название подводного хоккея). Гарри рассказал нам: "К сожалению, это не очень зрелищный вид спорта, так как все, что могут увидеть люди, смотрящие снаружи бассейна - это кучу брызг и ласты!" • Ice Climbing ледолазание • Underwater Hockey подводный хоккей • Sandboarding сэндбординг • Zorbing зорбинг • Skydiving затяжные прыжки с парашютом • Snowboarding сноубординг • Rock Climbing скалолазание • Paragliding параглайдинг
