Adrenalin 4 Last year, 41. Lwas on holiday once in the Bahamas and I saw an advertisement for an excursion ~ ‘Swim with sharks’ it said, I didn’t really believe it, but I thought it was a fascinating idea, and two days later I decided to give ‘ta try Iwas with 2 group of about 20 other people ‘on a special boat. We all put on our diving equipment. It was made of a special material, something very strong, to protect us against the sharks. The sharks arrived and, at frst, I was absolutely terified, but they were really friendly, They only wanted to play! It was amazing. 2 The most exciting thing T've ever done was just over a year ago when I was in Canada. I spent a week there, and every afternoon, we went up in a Harvard jet, and what happens is, you fly around looking for other jets, and when you see one, you have to try to shoot it down. There's a sort of gun, a sort of laser, and when you hit another jet, you hear a loud noise and you ‘can see black stoke. In one week, I shot seven other planes. It was great fun, but it was really expensive and I could never afford to doit again. 3. A few years ago, I spent a week in the Canadian Arctic with a friend of mine. One day we went out in a small submarine and it took us under the ice. It was totally dark but we had big lights, and they lit everything up, s0 we could see, you know. There were some really strange fish, and one time, I saw something that looked like a shark, but I'm not sure it was. Then we artived at an old shipmreck, an old ship from the seventeenth century. I don't know why, but I was a bit frightened for some reason. It was really beautiful though. went to see my friend Clyde, who lives near Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand. Near where he lives, there's an elephant camp, and we booked a three- day trip, you know, a trek, a sort of safari-thing, and. we spent three days on the back of the elephants, and at night, we stayed in little villages with the mountain people. At the end of it all, was filthy and exhausted, but what a trip! And the people that we met were all so ‘incredibly nice. Look at the script.
