VI. Speaking
And today I want to talk not only about the traditional
kinds of sport, because you know about them a lot, today I`d like to talk about
extreme sports. How can you understand it?
An extreme sport (also called free sport,
action sport or adventure sport) is a popular term for certain activities based
on a high level of danger. These activities often involve speed, height and a
high level of physical exertion.
You know that there are many kinds of extreme sports and we
can divide all of them into three groups: water, sky and land. Some pupils have
prepared their presentations, watch them and try to remember as much as
possible because in the end of the lesson you will do a test about it.
VII. Pupils` presentations with video.
Sky extreme sport
Bungee
jumping is a jump
from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall
structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building or a bridge; but it is
also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or
helicopter. The first modern bungee jumps were made in 1979 in Bristol, by
members of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club. Commercial bungee
jumping began with the New Zealander, A J Hackett, who made his first jump from
Auckland's Bridge in 1986.
Hang
gliding is an air
sport in which a pilot flies a light aircraft called a hang
glider (also known as Delta plane). Takeoff is usually achieved by
launching into the air from a cliff or hill. The modern hang gliding became
popular in Australia but in the 1970s the sport had spread throughout the
United States and Europe.
Skydiving
(also known as
parachuting) is exiting an aircraft and returning to the earth with the help
of a parachute. It can involve a certain amount of free fall, a time during
which the parachute has not been deployed. In 1952 sky diving became an
international sport.
Water extreme sport
Windsurfing is a surface water sport using a windsurf board, which combines
elements of surfing and sailing. It consists of a board usually two or four
metres long and a single sail. The history of windsurfing began in 1948 in
the USA when Newman Darby invented his first sailboard. And it became popular
in 1980s and in1984 it became an Olympic sport.
Modern Surfing came to the USA in the 20th century and became
very popular among the young people, especially on the west coast. It is a
surface water sport in which the surfer rides a surfboard and face of a wave
which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. It is better to go in for
surfing in the oceans and in the seas, but sometimes surfers can be seen in the
rivers and in the lakes.
Rafting (or white water rafting) is a challenging outdoor activity
using an inflatable boats (rafts) for 6 or 12 people to navigate a mountainous
river. This sport became popular in the 1970s and it is considered an extreme
sport because it can be very dangerous.
Scuba Diving is a swimming underwater activity, using necessary diving
equipment.
Scuba divers carry their own source of compressed air in the
tank. It allows them to stay underwater longer than with breath-holding
techniques used in snorkelling and free-diving.
Free diving is a form of underwater diving without any equipment. It
depends on a diver's ability to hold his breath under water.
Land extreme sport
Skateboarding is an action sport which
involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. 85 percent of
skateboarders are under the age of 18, and 74 percent are male.
Skateboarding appeared in the late 1940s when
surfers in California
wanted something to surf when the waves were flat. No one knows who made the
first board; These first skateboarders started with wooden boxes or boards with
roller skate wheels attached to the bottom.
Parkour (it is also called free running)
is a training method which focuses on rational movement in both the natural and
urban environments. The focus is to move around obstacles with speed and
efficiency. It appeared in France. Today the people who go in for parkour are
called tracers. They train to be able to identify more efficient paths.
Parkour can be practiced anywhere and tracers train to be able to identify more
efficient paths
Mountain biking is a sport which consists
of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using mountain bikes.
This kind of sport became popular in the 1970s and in 1976 in became an Olympic
sport.
VIII. Consolidation.
I am sure you have been attentive, your task will be to
divide sports into different columns: water, land, sky and winter. I think it
won`t be difficult for you. The 1 st variants write water and land sports, the
2nd variant –sky and winter sports. Use your handouts.
land: water:
sky: winter:

IX. Speaking
T says, “ I think you agree with me that all kinds of extreme sports are risky and
dangerous. But it doesn`t stop many people especially young who like taking risks.
Taking risks-what is it?
Taking risks –to do something although you know that
something dangerous could happen as a result. What do you think why people take
risks?
They take risks because they want to be more confident and
independent, to prove and show their courage, to get adrenalin rush, to
increase their self- esteem, etc.
X. Discussing (working in groups of three)
T says, “Look at some quotations about risks, choose one you
like the best and explain your choice.”
Ø To eat an egg you must break the
shell. Jamaican Proverb
Ø If you win, you will be happy; if you
lose you will be wise. Author Unknown
Ø Only those who dare to fail greatly,
can ever achieve greatly. Robert F.Kennedy
Ø Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic. Author
Unknown
Ø I am always doing that which I cannot
do, in order that I may learn how to do it. Pablo Picasso
Ø If you risk nothing, then you risk
everything. Greena Davis
XI. Watching a video
T says, “Now you will watch a video and while watching you
have to write five adjectives which can describe the extreme sportsmen.”
XII. Speaking
An extreme sportsman should be: courageous, brave, strong,
healthy, ambitious, risky, hardworking, persistent, curious, fearless, daring,
purposeful, confident, professional.
Yes, of course, I think these characteristics are very
important not only for sportsmen but for all people.
XIII. Speaking (working in groups)
And to make a conclusion I want you to work in groups and
write all advantages and disadvantages of extreme sports.
XIV. Test it out! (10 questions)
Now it is time to do a test, I hope you have been very
attentive during the lesson.
Homework: If you had a chance to go in for extreme sports
what sport would you choose? What is the most interesting and exciting for you?
Write a composition about it.
