Parkour: You feel as if you are flying! Practice pronunciation!
Parkour is definitely my favourite outdoor sport. I love using my body to move freely and
to jump obstacles in public places with only my body and my skill. I also climb and
run. Parkour can be a hobby, an extreme sport, or an art. In Parkour, you use
your body to get from one point to another without stopping.
Parkour is excellent exercise because it helps you to keep fit and healthy.
It makes you brave and confident, too. Another good thing about
Parkour is that it’s very cheap. You need to be in good physical
condition, and you need a good pair of running shoes. And that’s all!
However, Parkour can be dangerous. If you’re new to Parkour, you
need to know and understand the different basic moves.
You also need to train a lot so you don’t have accidents.
It can take a long time to become good at Parkour and you can sometimes
hurt yourself, but I think it is a perfect way to exercise and
discover your body’s potential. Try it! You feel as if you are
flying.
Activity 8. Focus on vocabulary: (busca las palabras en la lectura anterior)- ejemplos:
New verbs New nouns New adjectives New connectors
Climb= escalar Body = cuerpo Favourite Because= porque
