A Leisure Activity You Would Like to Start Doing
Tell me about a leisure activity you would like to start doing.
You should say:
what the activity is
why you would like to try it
whether it is a common activity where you live
and explain your feelings about it.
. Kite-surfing: I saw a TV program about it: it seems breathtaking.
. Water sport: feel the thrill. Amazing sensations
+
literally flying above the ocean
. Cool, relaxing
+
guys who do it are trendy and cool
. They say you can learn within a week of training
(
Hainan?)
.
. Future
:
maybe in Australia. But the equipment is a bit expensive
.
Let me tell you about one of my dreams
:
I would love to learn how to kite-surf. I don't know
if you are familiar with this sport, but I saw a program on TV about it, and it seems absolutely
amazing
!
It's a water sport. You ride a small board, sort of like a small surf board, and at the same time,
you are harnessed
(=
attached) to a very large kite. This kite will propel you across the water. It
looks stunning, because the surfers can actually get up a lot of speed, and most important, they can
fly when they ride a wave
.
They literally become airborne for a few seconds. It's like a big jump
,
but very smooth at the same time. It's like they are hanging in the air, following the wind. It must
be breathtaking
!
I know that people kite-surf all over the world. It's a fairly new activity. But you can do it
anywhere as long as the wind is steady, and it always pulls you back towards the beach. If the
wind takes you away from the coast, it could be dangerous
.
People who can kite-surf are just
really cool,-very trendy. These guys have no fear, and they are looking for a thrill
(
=some
excitement)
.
I did a bit of research on the Internet, and they say that you can learn how to maneuver the
kite in a couple of days, and within a week you can already be having fun on your own, not far
from the coast. A lake is also a good place to learn. But I have heard there is a place in Hainan
Island, in southern China, where people meet to kite-surf. I hope to go there someday to learn.
Well, actually, next year I am going to continue my studies in Australia, and as you know,
over there everyone surfs
.
I might be able to find someone to teach me. I might need to rent the
equipment at first too, because the wakeboard and the kite are quite expensive to purchase.
