1 The other team weren't very good and we quickly
scored three goals. But then we relaxed, I think. We
thought, 'This is easy! We're going to win. No problem at
all.' But then, in the second half, the other team scored
three goals, so it was 3–3. And there were only five
minutes left. But luckily we managed to score in the last
minute and win the match.
2 I arranged to meet my boyfriend Jake last night, but
he texted an hour before and said sorry, he was busy.
I texted back, 'Busy? What are you doing?' 'I'm staying
in. Really sorry. See you tomorrow,' he said. But then
Sally saw him in town with Lizzie. That's what she said,
anyway. So, did he stay in? I don't know.
3 There's a boy in my class who's good at everything. He
gets top marks in all the subjects and he doesn't seem
to work very hard. He's also very good at sport and is
captain of the football team. And he's good-looking and
popular with the girls! How does he do it?!

I spent ages trying to find the right sport. I played team
games like football and volleyball when I was a teenager,
but I didn't enjoy them. I prefer to be in control – so I
like individual sports. When I was nineteen, I discovered
wingsuit flying. It's an amazing feeling, because it really is
like being a bird: you can choose which way to fly. I love it!
The only problem is, it isn't cheap. For that reason, I can't
do it as often as I want to.

1 I started doing it about five years ago. At that time, I
didn't know what the word 'creeking' meant! But I was
already a fan of kayaking and I suppose I was looking
for a new challenge. The first time I saw it, I thought,
hey, this doesn't look possible! You can't take a kayak
down a waterfall! But actually, it doesn't feel quite as
bad when you're doing it because you're in control
… most of the time. And now, I just love creeking.
The adrenaline is amazing. I can't go back to ordinary
kayaking … never!
2 Free soloing is the most extreme form of climbing
because it doesn't use any equipment at all – no ropes,
no safety gear, nothing. It's just the climber and the cliff

or mountain. I started doing it ten years ago, because I
was looking for a physical challenge. It needs a lot more
strength than ordinary climbing – you need strong
fingers, hands and arms in particular. And of course, it's
dangerous sometimes, but I don't think about that. For
me, it's all about testing myself, not about risking my
life.
3 When I first told people I was into volcano boarding,
people thought I was joking. That's because most of
them didn't know anything at all about the sport. I
didn't know anything about it either, until I was in
Nicaragua on holiday three years ago. I visited a volcano
called Cerro Negro – the name just means 'black hill'.
It's a young, active volcano – and the best place in the
world for volcano boarding. So I decided to try it. It
takes 45-minutes to walk up the volcano. Then just a
few minutes to surf down it. It was amazing – really
thrilling. But very hot!

1 Boy Did I tell you what happened to me when I was out
with Molly?
Girl No, you didn't.
B It was really funny.
G Go on, tell me!
B Well, we were at the cinema. The film was just starting
when Molly got up to go and to buy popcorn.
B A few moments later, she came back and sat down. I
thought, 'That was quick,' but I didn't say anything. I was
really concentrating on the film.
G Go on …
B So I helped myself to some of the popcorn. She was
holding a big box of it in her hand. And then a woman's
voice said, 'Hey! That's mine!'
G Oh no!
B Yes! I turned around … and it wasn't Molly! It was
another woman who was sitting in her place.
G How embarrassing!
2 Boy What's on next?
Girl There's a talent show starting in five minutes.
B No thanks! I really don't like talent shows.
G Me neither. They're so boring, aren't they?
B Yes. Terrible. What else is on?
G There's a new sitcom on a bit later.
B No, sitcoms aren't my thing. They're never really
funny.
G I don't think you're right about sitcoms. Some of the
American shows are really clever.
B Clever? You're joking. They're all the same … and the
laughter isn't real, it's all recorded.
G No, it isn't. There's usually a real audience.
B I don't think so. Not for most of the shows.

1 Yesterday morning the weather was terrible. It started
to rain just after breakfast and it only stopped at about
one o'clock. But then the sun came out and we spent
the afternoon sunbathing in the park.
2 When we drove to school this morning, it was really
foggy. It was so thick that we could only see about 20
metres ahead. Not only that, the road was really icy
and slippery because the temperature in the night was
about minus ten degrees Celsius. The bus driver had to
drive really slowly and carefully.
3 It was school sports day yesterday. Unfortunately the
sky was quite cloudy for most of the day and the sun
didn't shine at all. It was quite mild and we heard some
crashes of thunder, but luckily it didn't rain.
4 I went to play football in the park with some friends
on Sunday morning. It was a lovely clear day but it was
freezing cold and very frosty. There wasn't any snow but
the grass was completely white! Then in the afternoon
the weather changed. The wind started to blow and it
snowed quite heavily. By the evening there was about
10 centimetres of snow on the ground.

M Hmm. I can see straight away there's a lot of
damage here!
W Yes. It was about twenty centimetres deep in my
living room!

holes near the bottom.
M Oh yes, I see.
W Is it safe?

M Safe? Yes, perfectly safe. You don't need to worry
about that. But it doesn't look very good!
