Recording seript Teacher: Now, I'd lke you to talk about something together for about two minutes. Here are some sports that can be dangerous. Look at the task and talk to each other about what can happen to people doing these sports if they are not careful. You now have some time to look at the task. [15-second pause] Could you start now, please? Is it OK if we start with rugby? Eva: Yes, let's begin with that Tomasz: Well, | think you have to be very careful in this ‘sport, because it's quite violent and they don't have any protection lke in American football (6) Yes. Lagree with that. They don't wear a helmet to protect their head, so they can have ‘some serious Injuries. Also to their arms and legs. ‘Tomasz: It's the same for the motorcycling, Even though they wear a helmet and some body protection, it’s stil very dangerous if they fall off when they're going fast.Eva: Tomasz: Eva: Tomasz: Eva Tomasz: Eva: Tomasz: Eva: Tomasz: Eva: Tomasz: It's much more dangerous than car racing, | think. The drivers are a lot safer because of the way they make the cars these days, but if you crash a motorbike you will probably stil get injured, ‘And what about diving? What can happen there? Well, when you're deep in the water | suppose ‘the biggest risk is that for some reason you can’t breathe. Such as getting trapped under the water and your alr runs out. Or something {goes wrong with the oxygen thing, Ora shark attacks you. That's another danger. (@) Ldon’t know about that. In fms, maybe. But its not very common in real if, is it? Anyway, let’s go on to the next one. ‘Yes, gymnastics. Now that's definitely not as dangerous as some of the others. | mean, even if you're really careless, normally the worst thing that can happen is that you get hurt abit, nothing very bad. (@) That's just what 1 was thinking really. It can't be very nice if you fall, but at least the ground is soff. I's not ke landing on a racetrack, or even a rugby pitch ‘Though people can get hurt snowboarding, land they do that on snow, which is pretty soft. Probably because they go so fast.

They might be just Under the surface but you don't know until a wave pushes you ona thom, (@) Yes, you're absolutely right. | think you have to know the place where you are going surfing, to make sure there aren't any dangerous ones near you. And always have a surfing buddy with you, someone who knows where you are all the time. Yes, that makes it much safer. Eva: Next there's boxing, What do you think of that? ‘Tome it's not really a sport ~ it's just fighting, hitting someone's head. That's really stupid, and it must damage them in the end. ( Lmnot so sure, Don't you think that wearing gloves makes it safer? Tomasz: Eva Well, actually last weok | read that boxers hit each other much harder with gloves on, because without them they would hurt thelr hands. Teacher: Thank you. Now you have a minute to decide which two are the most dangerous sports. Tomasz: Shall | start? Eva: Yes, go on. Tomasz: OK. So which two of these sparts do we think are the most dangerous? I'd say the ‘motoreycting simply because it's so fast and the surface is so hard, (b) Lthink so. too, And also boxing. They should ban it completely, starting with the next Olympic Games. Don't you agree that it’s one of the most dangerous sports in the world? (e) Perhaps. but what about rugby? Or snowboarding?
