Listen to some people talking about challenges and match the speakers 1 to 5 to the statements A to E. I spoke to some young people about challenges, and here's what they had to say.0:06
When my friend first suggested we try skydiving, I thought that he was crazy.0:21
Why would I want to jump out of a plane or do anything else that might put my life at risk?0:28
But now, four years later, not only do I go skydiving whenever I get the chance, but I also love kite surfing, whitewater rafting, and any other exciting activity that presents a real challenge for me.0:34
I've always thought that life's difficult enough without us trying to make it harder.0:49
That's why I don't understand people who put themselves in danger through various extreme sports or any other activities that may cause injuries.0:55
It's not that I'm afraid, but better safe than sorry is my motto.1:02
I think I'm old enough to start working.1:08
I've discussed it with my parents, and we've decided that I'll be working part time at my dad's restaurant after school.1:11
It'll be a real challenge for me, trying to balance school and work, but I think I'll be able to cope well.1:18
Last year, my friends persuaded me to go trekking in the mountains with them.1:24
It wasn't that bad, but what I remember most about the experience are all the cuts and bruises I got.1:28
Sure, it was challenging enough for me to walk for hours through forests and up the mountainside, but I'd have to think twice before going with them next time.1:35
One of the things I enjoy most in life is to get involved in new and exciting things in the company of my friends.1:44
Unfortunately, my best friends are also my most boring friends.1:51
I can never seem to tear them away from their computers or TVs long enough for us to do something different, something thrilling.1:54
So when it comes to kite surfing or skydiving, I'm on my own.2:01
