 Part3
A. Now read the following text.

Tom Barry – international skateboarder!

Tom Barry is 17, and started skateboarding when he was nine. He grew up in New York where he practiced hard and won his first

competition when he was 14. He was lucky. A writer from SKATE IT! magazine watched him that day, then wrote an article

about him. 'They even made a video of me!' Tom said. “I left school last year and now the magazine is paying me to practise

and to skateboard in international competitions. But I'm not doing this for the money. I'm doing this because it's so much fun! Tom has

just returned from Japan. Skateboarding is the third most popular sport for boys aged 12-16 in the USA, but in Japan it is less well-known.

"I took my skateboard out onto the city street and the traffic stopped as people watched me!' Tom said. “A problem for skateboarders

in Japan is that there aren't many places where they can practice outside. Skate parks are usually inside big buildings in large cities,

so street skating is difficult there. But things are changing. I loved the trip and hope to go back to Japan to skate there again very soon.”

Are the sentences Right (R); Wrong (W) or Doesn’t Say (DS)?

1 – Tom began skateboarding before his tenth birthday. ___________

2- A magazine journalist saw Tom on the day he won his first competition. ___________

3 - Tom is in his last year of school. ___________

4-Tom is lucky because he often wins international competitions. ___________

5- Earning lots of money is important to Tom. ___________

6 - Skateboarding is becoming more popular in Japan than in the States. ___________

7- Some drivers stopped to watch Tom when he skateboarded on the street in Japan. ___________

8 - Tom said it is difficult to find skate parks outside the big cities in Japan. ___________

B. Read the next texts about experiences with extreme sports.

We all like to have the ground under our feet, but flying and skydiving are different. The first time I jumped I knew my life had taken a
turn. In the initial free fall, a skydiver does not experience gravity. It's as if you were in space. The second time you jump all your
thoughts are cut off, and it's just you and God in the air. You feel as if you ruled the world. If you do it, it will change you because
there is more to skydiving than just jumping out of a plane. There are two kinds of people: those that skydive, and the others.
Ritter, 22, Israel (in Adrenaline)
When I saw Greg, an internationally ranked pro wakeboarder practising on the lake by my home in Winter Park, just outside Ontario, it
looked so easy. That was the first time I ever saw it. I thought I could go out there and do that, but with time I learned it is a lot harder
than it looks. Since then I have smacked* my head a couple of times and seen stars, although I have never seriously injured myself.
Anyway, the gain has been worth the pain. I still find it hard to believe the success I have had so far. I think the best way to learn is to
study those who really know what they are doing.
John Necrason, 16, USA wakeboarding champion (in Waterski)
