Exciting Experiences by Hannah



Step 1: Read the following text. Use the dictionary on this blog to check the meaning of the words you don't know.

The most exciting thing I’ve ever done is go on an adventure holiday with my classmates. Last year we went to Wales and stayed in the mountains in an adventure centre. We went rock-climbing and kayaking. It was fantastic. We all slept in big tents and cooked our own food. It was the most exciting holiday I’ve ever had.

There are lots of interesting things that I’ve never done: I’ve never been skiing, and I’ve never been bungee jumping. I’d like to try them some time. But most of all, I’d like to try diving. I’ve been snorkelling before but I’ve never dived very deep. I’d like to go to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and see the amazing corals and fish that live there. Then I’d like to visit Sydney. I’ve never been there but I’ve heard that it’s a really exciting city.
