of height)
- Adjectives which describe a type of extreme sport your friend does or would
like to do (e.g. John would like to try snow rafting. He finds this type of sport
amazing)
- adjectives which describe your friend’s feelings when he/she does the extreme
sport or what he/she might feel if he/she started doing it (e.g. He usually feels
excited when he goes parachuting. He thinks he might feel scared if he did sky
surfing)
- Try to support your ideas (e.g. John wouldn’t like to try ice diving because he
would feel cold and also because he would need a lot of time to put on special
equipment)
- Express your attitude to your friend’s preferences (e.g. Though John is fond
of snowrafting, I would never try it. It’s really dangerous. There have been
some terrible accidents)
