READING
1 BEFORE YOU READ Look at the pictures. What are the people doing?

A TOUGH VACATION
My friend Garry called me about three months ago.
“What are you doing in June?” he asked.
“Going on vacation,” I replied.
“Excellent! So am I,” he said. “I’m going to do a
Tough Mudder in New Jersey. And so are you!”
Tough Mudder is a really hard endurance test. You
have to be a little crazy to do it. But you also have
to be very fit.
“Wait a second,” I said to Garry. “I’m not fit enough
to do a Tough Mudder.”
“Neither am I,” he replied. “So let’s get fit.”
So we got fit. Last week, we finally did the Tough
Mudder. And it was tough!
There were about 20 weird obstacles on the course.
The first was a dumpster full of ice cold water. We dove
into it. It was terrible; I almost died. Next, we crawled
across a muddy field with live electric wires over our
heads. I was terrified of getting an electric shock. Then
there was Everest. You run up a quarter pipe covered in
mud. It’s impossible if you don’t work as a team. Your
friends at the top must help you.
At the end, I was exhausted, cold, wet,
and covered in mud.
“How do you feel?” asked Garry.
“Great,” I replied.
“So do I,” he said. “When do we start training for
the next one?”

1. What is Tough Mudder?
2. Who suggested doing the Tough Mudder?
3. What did they have to do first?

5. How did they feel at the end?

3 GROUP WORK. Discuss these questions with your group.

1. Is there anything like this challenge in your country?
2. Do you think the challenge is a good idea? Why or why not?

I don’t think it’s

a good idea. Neither do I. It’s dangerous.
