Sports Camps
Action Sports Camps provide
activity holidays for children aged over five and adults. We offer training in
over twenty sports at ten different centers throughout the UK. All the centers
are open from April until October and some open during the winter for weekend
courses. The camps are not just limited to outdoor sports - we cover a wide
range of indoor activities as well. So if the rain comes, the camps continue
although you may have to take off your football boots and pick up a squash
racket instead. With the experience we've gained over the years, we put
together the right mix of sport and activities providing sport for all, not
just for those who are brilliant at athletics. It is unnecessary to bring any
equipment because it is all provided.
We work in small groups, children
working with others of their own age, but we do all come together for social
activities and meals. So, different members of a family can make their own
individual choices but they get a chance to exchange their experiences later on.
Our centers offer first-class
accommodation, food and facilities - and the staff is first-class too.
Qualified teachers or professionals receive training from us and many work with
us year after year. We always employ qualified staff for activities such as
swimming, trampolining and gymnastics but some of the assistants organizing the
children's games are students, many of whom came to the camp themselves when
they were younger.
At most of our centers,
accommodation is in a hostel or tents. It is not possible for us to arrange
other accommodation but we can send you a list of what is available in the
area. Most of the places are recommended to us, but not all, so we are not
responsible for the quality of the accommodation on this list. Luxury accommodation
is not available near our camps.
Mark ‘T’ if the statement is true, ‘F’ - if it is false.
1. The
activities available depend on the weather.
2.
Children and adults spend some time together each day.
3. Some
of the staff is unqualified.
4. Action
Sports Camps only recommend accommodation of a high quality.

Every good climber wants to climb mountain Everest, 8,
848 metres above the sea level, the highest mountain in the world. It stands
between Nepal and Tibet, in the Himalayas. It is, in fact, quite a
"young" mountain — only about two million years old. The Tibetans
call it Chomolungma, the "Mother of the World". Only just over 600
people have ever climbed to the top of Everest. You cannot climb the mountain
without special permission from the government of Nepal; you can only climb it
in May or October every year; you must have a booking for your expedition — and
at the moment there are no more bookings for the next ten years!
The
expeditions which have climbed Everest have all used tents, oxygen bottles and
other climbing equipment. Many expeditions have left their old equipment behind
them — empty oxygen bottles, old food containers, etc — so there is now a
serious litter problem high up on the mountain.
The
government of Nepal is now trying to clean up the mountain. In May 1993 they
gave permission to a team of young Americans to climb the mountain ... but they
asked them to bring back the litter on their way down again. The expedition
brought down 2, 850 kilos of litter from the highest slopes of the mountain.
This was the start of a plan to clear all the litter from Mountain Everest.
Mark ‘T’ if the statement is true, ‘F’ - if it
is false.
5. Everest is less than 1, 100 metres high.
6. It is in the Alps.
7. 500 people have climbed it.
8. People can climb it from
May to October.

Kon-Tiki Expedition
The date was
the 28th of April. It was the early morning. Callao harbour was very busy. The
Minister of Marine had ordered a tug to row us out of the harbour. A crowd of
people was waiting to watch.
When I
arrived, only Herman was there. He was guarding the raft. I got out of the car
and jumped on board. Fruit baskets and boxes lay in a heap on the deck. They
had been thrown on board at the last moment. In the middle of the heap sat
Herman. He was holding a cage; and in the cage there was a green parrot. The
bird was a present from a friend in Peru.
“Take care of
the parrot for a minute”, said Herman. “I want to go ashore and have a drink.
The tug won’t be here for a long time”.
Herman went
for his drink, and a few minutes later the tug arrived. A large motor-boat came
to tow the raft away from the other boats. The motor-boat was full of officers
and sailors. The officers called out some orders; and the sailors then fixed a
strong rope to the raft.
“One moment!”
I shouted. “It’s too early! We must wait for the other men”. I pointed towards
the city.
But nobody
understood. The officers only smiled politely. I untied the rope and threw it
into the water. I waved my arms and made signs to the officers. This excited
the parrot. The bird opened its cage and escaped. It walked about on the bamboo
deck. I tried to catch the parrot. But it called out rude words in Spanish and
flew into the cabin. At last, I caught the bird and put it back into its cage.
Choose the correct variant: A, B, C, or D.

holding a cage;
D. all of the above.

The
Perfect Dog
During summer
vacations, I would volunteer at the vet’s, so I’d seen a lot of dogs. Minnie
was by far the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Thin curly hair barely
covered her sausage-shaped body. Her bugged-out eyes always seemed surprised.
And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep
because her owners didn’t want her anymore. I thought Minnie had a sweet
personality, though. No one should judge her by her looks, I thought. So the
vet spayed her and gave her the necessary shots. Finally, I advertised Minnie
in the local paper: “Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs loving family”.
When a young
man called, I warned him that Minnie was strange looking. The boy on the phone
told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted
Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath and fluffed up what was left
of her scraggly hair. Then we waited for them to arrive.
At last, an old car drove up in front of the
vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They scooped Minnie into their arms and
rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried
behind them to see his reaction to Minnie.
Inside the
car, the grandfather cradled Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She
licked his face. Her rat-tail wagged around so quickly that it looked like it
might fly off her body. It was love at first lick.
“She’s
perfect!” the old man exclaimed. I was thankful that Minnie had found the good
home that she deserved. That’s when I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a
milky white color — he was blind.
Choose the correct variant: A, B, C, or D.
13.
We can come to a conclusion that the teller
helped the vet
A. as a part of daily routine;
B. on his own initiative;
C. for fun;
D. against his will.
14.
The vet made all the necessary
A. corrections;
B. reflections;
C. inflections;
D. attractions.
15.
The dog seemed to get a good … before leaving.
A. caring;
B. beating;
C. piercing;
D. sharing.
16.
In the car, Minnie’s tail showed her
A.
readiness to fly;
B. wish to escape;
C. eagerness to eat;
D. emotional
state.

The moving stones
These big stones leave long tracks behind
them. The long tracks show that the stones have moved along the ground. But how
do they move? Scientists have tried to answer this question for the last 50
years.
These famous moving stones are in Death
Valley, USA. Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some
of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stones weigh
The stones only move at night and only once
every year or two. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know
the answer to the question.
The answer is the wind. When the wind comes
from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the south,
they always move to the north. But how can the wind move a stone that weighs
This answer is more complicated. Death Valley
is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night.
Sometimes there are bad storms in the night. Rain falls, and the hard ground
becomes soft and wet. The wind is very strong and cold. The water on the ground
changes to very thin ice. Then the strong wind can move flat stones along the
flat ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground.
Choose the correct variant: A, B, C, or D.
17. … of the moving stones are very heavy.
A. All;
B. Some;
C. None;
D. Whole.
18. They …….move the same way as the wind.
A. always;
B. sometimes;
C. never;
D. from time to time.
19. The nights are ……..
A. never stormy;
B. hot in the day time;
C. sometimes very cold and wet;
D. rainy and warm.
20. The
wind can move stones because the ground is…..
A. soft and wet;
B. flat and icy;
C. hot and dry;
D. even and frosty.
