Speed, excitement, danger. You can find all these in the different extreme sports that have become popular last 10 years. Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you fall and fall, and then, just before you hit the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back. In skysurfing you jump out of aeroplane and use a board to “surf” the air, doing gymnastics in mid-air! And extreme sports on land can be just as dangerous.

Winter sports have always an element of danger. For example snowboarding, which has all the excitement of surfing but on snow, is more dangerous even than skiing. Probably the most dangerous of all the new winter sports is snowrafting. You sit in a rubber boat and sail down a mountain at great speed – and you can’t control the boat!

Of course, water sports have always been fun. Ice diving, for those people who are absolutely crasy. You put on diving equipment and dive under a frosen lake. And, if that’s not enough, you try to walk upside down on the ice! I feel cold just thinking about it.

A lot of people are not fit nowadays. It’s a big problem today. If you want to feel fit you’d better go in for one kind of sport or another. I think that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. To tell the truth I don’t do sports regularly and it is not an essential part of my daily life. In the morning I do some exercises just to awake. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful lake with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter I swim in the swimming pool. I like to ride the bike. I shouldn’t call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV, like hockey or football. But most of all I admire extreme

Kinds of sport. I think they are really cool.

Экстремальные виды спорта

Скорость, азарт, опасность. Вы можете найти все это в различных экстремальных видах спорта, которые стали популярными за последние 10 лет. Возьмите банджи-джампинг, к примеру. Вы спрыгиваете с моста, и падаете, падаете, а затем, непосредственно перед ударом о землю или воду, упругая веревка тянет вас назад. В скайсерфинге вы выпрыгиваете из самолета и используя сопротивление воздуха, делаете гимнастику в воздухе! Экстремальные виды спорта на суше могут быть так же опасны.

Зимние виды спорта всегда имеют элемент опасности. Например, сноубординг, который также захватывает как и серфинг, но на снегу, является более опасным, чем даже лыжи. Наверное, самым опасным из всех новых зимних видов спорта является сноурафтинг. Вы сидите в резиновой лодке и спускаетесь вниз по горе на большой скорости – и вы не можете контролировать лодку!

Конечно, водные виды спорта всегда приносили удовольствие. Айс – дайвинг, для тех людей, которые абсолютно сумашедшие. Вы одеваете снаряжение для дайвинга и ныряете в замерзшее озеро. И, если этого не достаточно, вы пытаетесь ходить вниз головой по льду! Мне холодно даже просто думать об этом.

Многие люди нездоровы в наши дни. А это большая проблема сегодня. Если вы хотите быть бодрым и здоровым лучше заниматься тем или другим видом спорта. Я думаю, что каждый должен делать все от него зависящее, чтобы быть здоровым. Хорошее здоровье лучше, чем самое лучшее лекарство. Все виды физических упражнений, очень полезны для нашего организма, чтобы сделать его сильным и держать себя в хорошей форме. Сказать по правде, я не занимаюсь спортом регулярно, и он не является неотъемлемой частью моей повседневной жизни. По утрам я делаю упражнения просто чтобы проснуться. Летом я купаюсь, так как есть красивое озеро с чистой водой, там где живет моя бабушка. Зимой я плаваю в бассейне. Я люблю ездить на велосипеде. Я не считаю себя фанатом. Конечно, я люблю смотреть спортивные соревнования по телевизору по хоккею или футболу. Но больше всего я восхищаюсь экстремальными видами спорта. Я думаю, они действительно крутые.

Extreme sports

In my composition I`d like to tell you about extreme sports.

To begin with, many people go in for extreme sports, because other kinds of sports are too boring for them. There are different types of extreme sports: rock climbing, diving, rafting, snowboarding, parachuting and others.

Rock climbing is very difficult and exciting occupation. In the summit of the mountain you feel alone and free. Climbing is a good way to keep muscles fit. But it is also one of the most dangerous sports. You must have some skills or you will break a leg or injure a back, and you can even die. You can fall into the crevasse. Similarly, you can be coldand your arms and legs may be numb, because of cold weather and wind. Also, while climbing, you are attached to your partner, so if your partner falls to his death, you can die too.

Diving is a very adventurous sport. You will see a beautiful world under the water. But besides beauty, there are a lot of dangers. For example, you can meet poisonous sea creatures or even sharks! You can be poisoned by oxygen. Also, you can lose consciousness.

Parachuting is an unusual sport. When you are flying, you feel freedom like a bird. Many doctors think that it helps to save people from stress and depression and it is a good way to lose weight. But if you have not learnt how to land, you can break your legs.

Rafting is a thrilling sport. You enjoy picturesque places and contact with other people. But you have to overcome the rapids and waterfalls. Also, submarine stones may injure your head or back.

To tell the truth, I prefer to do something more relaxing, like swimming, because I`m afraid of these dangers.

В своем сочинении я бы хотела рассказать вам об экстремальных видах спорта.

Начнем с того, что многие люди занимаются экстремальным спортом, потому что другие виды спорта слишком скучные для них. Существуют разные экстремальные виды спорта: альпинизм, дайвинг, сплав по горной реке, сноубординг, прыжки с парашютом и другие.

Альпинизм - очень трудное и захватывающее занятие. На вершине горы ты чувствуешь себя свободным и одиноким. Альпинизм - хороший способ поддерживать мускулы в форме. Но это также один из самых опасных видов спорта. Ты должен иметь навыки или ты сломаешь ногу или повредишь спину, и ты можешь даже умереть. Ты можешь упасть с огромной высоты или упасть в расселину в леднике. Также, ты можешь замерзнуть, и твои руки и ноги могут онеметь из-за холодной погоды и ветра. Также, когда ты взбираешься на гору, ты привязан к своему партнеру, поэтому, если твой партнер упадет и разобьется, ты тоже можешь умереть.

Дайвинг- очень рискованный вид спорта. Ты увидишь красивый подводный мир. Но кроме красоты, там таится много опасностей. Например, ты можешь встретить ядовитых морских созданий или даже акул! Ты можешь отравиться кислородом. Также, ты можешь потерять сознание.

Прыжки с парашютом- очень необычный спорт. Когда ты летишь, чувствуешь себя свободным, как птица. Многие доктора считают, что это помогает людям избавиться от стресса и депрессии, и это хороший способ похудеть. Но если ты не выучишь, как приземляться, ты можешь сломать ноги.

Рафтинг- волнующий спорт. Ты наслаждаешься живописными местами и общаешься с людьми. Но тебе приходится преодолевать пороги и водопады. Также, подводные камни могут поранить твою голову или спину.

Честно говоря, я предпочитаю заниматься чем-то более расслабляющим, как плавание, потому что я боюсь этих опасностей.

Speed, excitement, danger. You can find all these in the different extreme sports that have become popular last 10 years. Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you fall and fall, and then, just before you hit the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back. In skysurfing you jump out of aeroplane and use a board to “surf” the air, doing gymnastics in mid-air! And extreme sports on land can be just as dangerous.

Эссе (сочинение) по английскому языку на тему: Some people think that extreme sports help to build character

ЭССЕ (СОЧИНЕНИЕ)

Nowadays more and more people go in for extreme sports like skateboarding, base jumping, parachute jumping, mountaineering and others. They believe that extreme sports help to build character.

In my opinion, extreme sport is a good way for a person to develop him or her physically and psychologically. As to the character, it is really the fact that extreme sport helps to increase willpower, persistence, and patience. Firstly, if you do any of extreme sport, you are often exposed to danger. You have to compel yourself to overcome fear and to move forward. Secondly, extreme sport is often a team activity. For example, mountaineering is usually done by a group of people who are dependent on each other. So they have to trust and help each other, otherwise they cannot achieve their goals. However, there some people who think that people do not necessarily need to do extreme sports to build character. Their reason is that there are a lot of other means of personal development, which are safer and more comfortable. For example, reading books or watching films about heroes and their valorous actions can help you cultivate your mind and character. As for me, I cannot adopt this point of view because of its deficiency. I strongly believe that you need action to improve yourself.

To sum it up, building character is a serious work, which demands a lot of strain. I am convinced that extreme sport is a sure way to this goal.

Демонстрация сюжета об экстремальных видах спорта (2 мин)

T: So, what is the subject of our discussion ?

Ps: x-treme sports. (C лайд 1)

. T: Well, today we’re going to take a look at extreme sports. What exactly are they? How dangerous are they? What are advantages and disadvantages of them? What makes people risk their lives?

T: Can you give the definition to the word “extreme’.

Ps: extreme describes activity that is very dangerous. (слайд 1 - определение термина –экстремальный спорт )

You are right. Let’s read the definition (слайд)

3, In the Internet I found some classification of extreme sport: air sports, land sports and water sports. Let’s look and read. ( слайды 2,3,4)

What do you think: why do people do extreme sports? (ответыучащихся) Please, don’t forget to use some clichés. ( слайд 5)

4.- Now it’s high time to have a look at some extreme sports. I’ll read you the description of it. And you should guess what kind of sport is it. ( Слайды 5-12 )

1. It is a surface water sport in which the surfer rides a surfboard on the crest and face of a wave, which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are found primarily in the ocean, but are also sometimes found in lakes and rivers, and also in manmade wave pools. -Surfing

2 .It is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a pre-defined route without falling.

It is a physically and mentally demanding sport, that often tests a climber"s strength, endurance, agility. It can be a dangerous sport and knowledge of proper climbing techniques and usage of specialized climbing equipment is crucial for the safe completion of routes. While not an Olympic event, it is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a sport. - Rock climbing

3. It is a sport that involves descending a slope that is covered with snow on a snowboard attached to a rider"s feet using a special boot set onto a mounted binding. It was developed in the U.S.A. in the 1960s to 1970s and became a Winter Olympic Sport in 1998. -Snowboarding

4. It is an extreme gravity-powered activity that involves riding smth. like a sled down a paved road or course. Like skateboarding, it is often done for sport and for recreation.

It involves lying flat on your back and steering(управлять) smth. much bigger than a skateboard with your head just inches off the ground. Complete fearlessness is essential for this sport, as well as a thick piece of rubber, preferably from a car tyre,(шина) as footwear. - Street luge

5. Itis a variation on the sport of motocross in which motorcycle riders attempt to impress judges with jumps and stunts. - Freestyle Motocross (also known as FMX)

6 . It is a recreational activity and competitive air sport in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as sailplanes. The word soaring(парить) is also used for the sport.

This sport began in the 1920s. Improvements in aerodynamics and in the understanding of weather phenomena have allowed greater distances at higher average speeds. When conditions are favorable, experienced pilots can now fly hundreds of kilometres before returning to their home airfields. – Gliding

7. It is the sport of sailing and racing iceboats. A related sport, land sailing, are iceboats with wheels replacing the runners. A sport mostly practiced in the United States on the western dry lake beds and in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on wide tidal (связанныйсприливом)beaches.- Ice yachting

8. It is a board sport similar to snowboarding. It is a recreational activity that takes place on sand dunes rather than snow-covered mountains. This boardsport has adherents(приверженцы) throughout the world, most in desert areas or coastal (прибрежный) areas with beach dunes.

It involves riding across or down a dune while standing with both feet strapped to a board, though some sandboarders use a board without bindings.(переплёт, крепления)- Sandboarding

9. It is the practice of swimming at the surface of a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. In cooler waters, a wetsuit may also be worn. Combining these tools allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for extended periods of time with relatively little effort.It is a popular recreational activity, particularly at tropical resort destinations and at shallow scuba diving locations. - Snorkeling

10. The sport must be taken very seriously as there are many risks involved. Most divers realize that each dive they take might be their last. They put on daily shows and jump from the cliffs at 148 feet. During their dives they often have interesting antics,(гримасы, ужимки) such as holding lit torches during their dive.

During their jump there might be a straight line or the diver may choose to include flips, turns, or other acrobatic stunts. It is customary then for the diver to enter the water feet first. This is done in hopes of avoiding any head or neck injury which is common to the sport. - Cliff diving

11. It is a competition of power yachts with rules similar to Formula 1 car racing. Each F1 powerboat race lasts approximately 45 minutes following a circuit(круговаяпоездка) marked out in a selected stretch(отрезок) of water, usually a lake, river, or sheltered bay. - Powerboat Racing

12. It’s the most extreme sport. It’s like skydiving but no planes or helicopters are used. People jump with a parachute from buildings, antennas, bridges or spans and cliffs. (high parts of the Earth) The chance of injury is very high. -Base jumping

5. Работа с учебником и тетрадью Аудирование p .173 (учебник)упр. 56 ,57) тетрадь- стр. 76 упр. 1

British people are being interviewed in the streets of Moscow and they express what they personally think about the following question: Are extreme sports popular among the British?

In the book you can see the photos of these people, Say how old are they?

Gregory is 15, Ashford is 50, Susanna is 23

Your task is to listen and complete the table in your workbook.

Let ’s check the task

(проверка понимания услышанного)

So, we can see that British people have different opinions of it. Some of them don’t know anything about extreme sport.

6. So, pupils, as sportsmen say, let’s have “time out” and do some exercises for eyes.

7. You have sheets of paper of different colours. You will work in pairs. Those who have red papers will mark advantages of extreme sport

Those who have yellow papers will mark disadvantages of extreme sport

Please who has red papers join together and yellow do the same I’ll give you some minutes.

Advantages disadvantages

Let’s listen to your opinions

8 . The next task is to match extreme sports to their describing. (работа с заданием самостоятельно, затем меняютя, читают вслух и сопоставляют и проверяют ошибки соседа по парте) (слайды 13-19)

You have tasks at your desks Let’s read and match.

2. Whitewater rafting

A. The sport is enjoyed by people of all ages and both sexes. Everybody who enjoys the water and can swim and have no health problems, can learn to do it. Your need is the desire, plus basic studying and in-water training. You need an apparatus which helps you breathe under the water. It’s becoming a leisure sport in Russia.

B. This kind of sport is for people who like extra risk on the rivers. They use inflatable, unsinkable boats for their trips down the rivers. The sport has become the modern day centerpiece for outdoor enthusiasts.

C. It is a land alternative to surfing. It was developed in California in the 1960 th and became a craze in the 1970s. The sport is practiced on a board mounted on wheels and steerable by weight positioning. Since 1980s it has become an extreme sport rather than a hobby, because they practice ramp and rail.

D. It is jumping from a great height while attached to a long piece of elastic that it is short enough to prevent the jumper from hitting the ground.

E. People climb glaciers with ice axe and a great deal of other equipment. They must have physical and mental strength and the ability to work closely with other team members in the most dangerous situations.

F. It is jumping with a parachute out of an airplane for recreation or in competitions. Competitive events include jumping for style, landing with accuracy, and making free-fall formations. They fall from 3 657 m above the ground until 762, where they open their parachutes.

G. It is the latest adventure experience from New Zealand. It involves rolling about in a ball, three meters in diameter. People hurtle downhill at speed of 50 kms per hour. The sport requires no more skill than a hamster running in its wheel as centrifugal force keeps the man pinned inside.
