Interviewer: So tell me, Carol, what sort of extreme sports do you do?

Carol: I like bungee jumping. It’s great, really exciting.

Interviewer: But what makes you do bungee jumping?

Carol: Well, I get nervous, you know. But when I’m jumping I feel great. It’s like being a bird.

Interviewer: Really? What about other extreme sports?

Carol: Mm, I’d love to try sky surfing, but it’s very expensive, you know.

Interviewer: Right. Are there any sports you wouldn’t try?

Carol: I’m pretty adventurous, but even I wouldn’t like to do snow rafting. There have been some terrible accidents. But I also don’t like dull sports. I hate doing boring sports. Like tennis. Personally I’d prefer to stay at home.

Interviewer: Oh, it’s not that bad! Thank you very much, Carol. And now we have another “extreme” sports fan, Jonathan. Jonathan, what extreme sports do you do?

Jonathan: Well, I prefer winter sports. There’s something about snow. I love going skiing. And I quite like snowboarding. It’s really cool.

Interviewer: So, why do you do it?

Jonathan: Well, as I said, I’m a snow fanatic. And I love sports where there’s speed. I can’t stand slow sports. You know, like sailing.

Interviewer: What other sports would you like to try?

Jonathan: I’d quite like to go ice-diving – it sounds crazy!

Interviewer: Are there any sports you wouldn’t like to try?

Jonathan: Oh yeah. I can’t stand heights. I’d hate to do bungee jumping. It looks absolutely terrifying.

Interviewer: It certainly does. Right, Jonathan, thank you very much.
