Outdoor sports and activities
We often do sports and activities at a gym or a sports
centre, but sometimes we do them outdoors, in a
natural environment. Outdoor sports and activities
are sometimes competitive. This means that we do
them in a race or a competition because we want
to win a prize. Recreational means that we do them
because they are fun.
We usually do outdoor sports and activities in three
different places: on land, in the air or in the water.
Horse riding, mountain biking and climbing are land
activities. We often go climbing on mountains or large
rocks. Bungee jumping, parachuting and paragliding
are air activities. We jump from a high place like
a bridge when we do bungee jumping. Canoeing,
waterskiing and windsurfing are water activities.
We go canoeing in rivers and waterskiing and
windsurfing in the sea.​

One day I had a dream I was alone on a train. I didn't know where I was going. When the train reached the final stop I went out and saw the space. It was fantastic. I could fly through space and I was not threatened. I saw all the planets, the milky way, my home-planet Earth. Everything was fine. Stars and space is very beautiful. I immediately asked myself questions. How did space appear? Where is its boundary? Who else lives here besides us? But my sleep was interrupted by an alarm clock and I had to get ready for school.

ПЕРЕВОД

Однажды я увидел сон, как я один еду в поезде. Я не знал куда я еду. Когда поезд доехал до конечной остановки я вышел и увидел космос. Это была фантастика. Я мог летать по космосу и мне ничего не угрожало. Я видел все планеты, млечный путь, свой дом - планету Земля. Все было прекрансо. Звезды и космос это очень красиво. Я сразу задавал себе вопросы. Как появился космос? Где ее граница? Кто еще обитает тут кроме нас? Но мой сон прервал будильник и мне пришлось собираться в школу.
