Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiTham khảo
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.
