H
. Challenging Sport 
Q1. 
Playing sports is a great way to make exercise fun and help children to develop healthy habits. Sports 
can also help children improve their agility, balance, and coordination. Participating in sports can help 
build a child’s self-esteem. Studies show that children who play sports work harder in the classroom. 
Children also learn problem solving skills and time management skills when they are part of a team. 
 
Q2. 
Late last week BMX legend, Kevin Robinson, made history by flying higher than any human has ever 
gone on a BMX bike as part of Red Bull Experiment in New York City! Thousands of fans and spectators 
were onsite to catch all the action. This awesome 
feat had been a lifelong dream of Kevin’s which until now no 
one else has ever been able to pull off! 
 
Q3. 
American tennis star Venus Williams has lost her place at the Madrid Open when she was beaten in 
the secondround part of the contest by Russian teenager Alisa Kleybanova. Williams is the current world 
number three and her 19yearold opponent was unseeded so the defeat came as a big shock. Williams said 
she thought Kleybanova had won by just being aggressive from both sides of the court.’ 
 
Q4. 
Skateboarding traces its roots to the seventies but it really reached the peak of its popularity in the 
mid-eighties to the present when major skateboard manufacturers propelled it to new heights. First, they 
started with halfpipe and vert ramp skateboarding. As the years went by, the focus shifted to street 
skateboarding, which brought about a few changes in deck shape and wheel size. 
 
Q5. 
While the majority of scuba diving is recreation, there are those who do it for a living as well. 
Scientific exploration and research is another area with a lot of scuba diving demand. They spend a lot of 
time in the water watching sea life cycles, and how microorganisms fit the whole underwater environment. 
There are also others who work in constructing underwater platforms that are often used for research as 
well as offshore oil.
