What makes some people do incredibly dangerous sports? I prefer to watch sport from
the comfort of my own armchair, so I've often asked that question. I think there are as many answers as there are people.
Everyone has seen the thrill of the bungee jump; the image of at the top ofa very high bridge while they're waiting to throw themselves off. But why would any normal person decide to do something so dangerous? Well, clearly, there are many people who simply enjoy the
danger.
If bungee jumping is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, what about doing a dangerous sport for a
living? There's no way I'd ever do that! Look at Formula One, for example. It's true that motor racing is much safer than it used to be - but you never know.
But everyday sports can sometimes be as dangerous as sports bike motor racing. There are
often accidents as a result of horse riding and rugby, for example, but they are popular with thousands of people in the UK. In fact, I played rugby a lot when I was younger, and there were lots of accidents during every match! Luckily none of them were serious, though
But for me personally, the most frightening sport of all is skydiving. I can't imagine wanting
to jump out of an aeroplane. They say moving towards the Earth at high speed is the most amazing feeling. Then when your parachute opens, you come down gently. I'd love to know what that feels like, but I know I never will. It's the 'when your parachute opens' bit that scares me. What if it doesn't open?
But I guess that's why people enjoy these dangerous sports. It's the 'what if' factor.

(моё сочинение, если нужнен будет перевод пиши) Free Time Most people have hobbies and interests which they prefer doing in their free time. As for me, I don’t get much free time, especially on weekdays. However, at weekends I try to do the activities I like most of all. They are skating, bowling, dancing, swimming, reading, listening to music and going out with my friends. Ice-skating is something that I have taken up recently and I quite enjoy it. Swimming is my all time favourite activity. For bowling and dancing I need a company. Sometimes me and my friends go to the nearest disco and dance there. The ground floor has bowling alleys, so we can combine these two activities. When I have spare time I love reading books, especially romantic novels and detective stories. When I want something relaxing, I listen to music. My favourite band at the moment is Linkin Park. Occasionally I go for a walk with my best friends. We chat about everything, and sometime we even gossip about other classmates. I plan my weekends in advance. If I don’t have my own plans my friends usually offer me something exciting. Speaking of hobbies, I’d like to tell you about my collection of coins. I collect coins from all over the world. My father often travels and he brings me many different coins. My other hobby is collecting soft toys. I already have more than 50 items. They occupy a special place in my room and my heart. I know that British teenagers have many other leisure activities, such as playing football, horse-riding, taking care of pets, going hiking or to theme parks, and else.
