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 all and all, and the, just before you hi 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 and can be just as dangerous.winter sports have always an element of danger. for example snowboarding, which has all the excitement of sufing 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 kid 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 kids of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. to tel the trurh i on't do sports regulary 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 sim 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 kids of sport. i think hey are really cool.

the british press. the british press consists of several kinds of newspapers. the national papers are the ones sold all over the country, with a large circulation, giving general news. there are two main types of national paper - the "popular" papers and the "quality" papers. the popular papers are smaller in size (they are tabloid size), with lots of pictures, big headlines and short articles. they are easy to read and often contain little real information. they give much space to opinions. they usually have "human interest" stories - stories about ordinary people and events. examples of this type of newspapers are "the daily mail". "the sun", etc. "quality" papers appeal to the more serious reader, who wants to read about politics and foreign affairs. these papers such as "the daily telegraph", "the guardian" are bigger in size (they are called "broad-sheets"), with longer articles and a wider coverage of events. they have different pages for home news, foreign affairs, features articles, fashion, business, sport and so on. people in britain buy more papers on sunday than on weekdays. the sunday papers have a higher circulation than the dailies. as with the dailies, there are both popular and quality sunday newspapers. the quality ones have different sections and a colour magazine (usually full of advertisements)
