I went skiing for the first time recently. I was really excited before I went. I love mountains and sports. I’ve always been good at them too, so a week’s skiing holiday seemed cool. But the weather wasn’t good. The snow was like ice and it was really difficult to stop. I fell over about five times every day. Our apartment was also a 40-minute bus ride from the skiing area, so we lost a lot of time travelling to the ski lifts and I’ve realized that I’m not very good at skiing!
What a pity!

I’m usually afraid of animals, but my friend loves horse riding. When she asked me to go with her I said ‘yes’, but I was really worried before we went. What if the horse didn’t stop when I asked it to, but ran off? I didn’t want to fall off and hurt myself. Horses are such big animals and I’m quite small. But it was really good. We went for a ride in the country and it was such fun. We didn’t go fast and the horse did everything I wanted it to. I’m hoping to go again next week.
Speaker 3
I like winning, but I’m not good at team sports, so things like tennis and badminton are good for me. In fact,
I’ve been the number one under-16 badminton player for two years now. So I was really happy when the school said it was starting a rackets club. I decided to do tennis for a change. The school courts are outside. Unfortunately, it was raining that day and the court was wet, so I fell over and hurt my knee. I couldn’t walk for a week. I want to try it again, but next time I’ll wait till the weather’s good.
Speaker 4 Some people say skateboarding is not a sport. But it is exercise and you need to have skill to do it. I’ve done it for about five years and now I can do jumps and difficult turns, but I couldn’t when I started. I’ve only had one bad fall. It was about three years ago. I was going fast, when a boy on a bike hit me. I fell off my skateboard and hit my head on a tree. But I was wearing a helmet, so I wasn’t hurt, but I was shocked. I was a bit nervous after that, but it didn’t stop me doing it.
