Q: Do you like the look of the Everest Mountain?
A: Of course, I do. The appearance of Mount Everest changes depending on the time of day and the weather conditions. I like it during the sunrise and sunset, the colors of the surrounding landscape reflect off of the snow and create a beautiful orange-pink glow. It’s magnificent.
Q: Would you like to try zip-lining?
A: Yes, zip-lining is a thrilling adventure activity that involves sliding down a cable while attached to a harness. It can be a great way for me to experience stunning views.
Q: Have you ever tried rock climbing?
A: No, I haven’t. Rock climbing is a challenging adventure activity that involves scaling up a natural or artificial rock surface using special equipment. It requires strength, endurance, and mental focus. Therefore, it doesn’t suit me, I think.
Q: What do you think of skydiving?
A: Skydiving is a thrilling adventure activity that involves jumping out of an airplane at high altitude and freefalling before deploying a parachute to land safely on the ground. It can be an unforgettable experience for those who enjoy extreme sports and want to overcome their fears. However, it's not without risk and requires proper training and safety precautions.

Read the text. If you had been on a trip like this, would you have enjoyed it? Why? / Why not?
When Jane and Clive Green stopped working, they decided to go on a trip to Spain in their yacht. They expected to be away for about a week - but in the end, they continued travelling for sixteen years! After they reached Spain in their ten-metre yacht, they did not fancy returning home, so they kept sailing. After crossing the Atlantic, they stopped to explore the islands of the Caribbean for a while. Then they continued to sail west around the world. They ended up visiting 56 countries. They particularly enjoyed swimming with seals near the Galápagos Islands. However, they remembered feeling very anxious near Somalia because a boat would not stop following them. It was actually a fishing boat with an injured man on board, so Jane offered to help him before they continued on their way. They managed to pay for their trip by selling their house back in the UK. They could afford to buy food, but they ran out of money on an island near Fiji. Fortunately, a local woman agreed to give them a box of fruit and vegetables in exchange for some clothes.
If I had been on a trip like this, I would have enjoyed it. Traveling the world on a yacht for sixteen years would be an exciting and adventurous experience, with the opportunity to explore different cultures, landscapes, and wildlife. Swimming with seals near the Galápagos Islands would be a memorable experience and visiting 56 countries would be an incredible achievement

1a. Which of the activities in the photos looks most fun?
(Hoạt động nào trong các bức ảnh trông thú vị nhất?)
I think the activity in the photo which looks most fun is going hiking. This is because while we go hiking over a long distance with our team, we can have some small talks and share everything together on the way.
(Tôi nghĩ rằng hoạt động trong ảnh trông thú vị nhất là đi bộ đường dài. Điều này là do trong khi chúng tôi đi bộ đường dài với nhóm của mình, chúng tôi có thể có một số cuộc trò chuyện nhỏ và chia sẻ mọi thứ cùng nhau trên đường đi.)

Karting is the most dangerous activity. I have never seen this activity before; however, I can see the runners wearing a lot of protective clothes, so I think it's dangerous.
