 ACTIVITY No. 1
READING
Please read the text below and answer the following questions.

Adventure travel
Time for an adventure?
Are you a bit bored with your nine-to-five routine? Have a look at our exciting range of
holidays and decide what type of adventure you’d like.

Activity holidays
Our activity holidays are for everyone, people who love danger or who just like sports. We
have a huge variety of water, snow or desert holidays.
We’ll take you SCUBA diving in the Red Sea or kayaking and white-water rafting in Canada. If
you prefer snow, you can try skiing or snowboarding in the Alps or even igloo-building. For
those who like warmer weather, we also have sandboarding (the desert version of
skateboarding) or camel safaris.

Polar expeditions
Take a cruise to Antarctica or the northern Arctic; explore a land of white natural beauty and
wonderful wildlife. Our experts will explain everything about the two poles as you watch the
penguins in Antarctica or whales and polar bears in the Arctic. There's no greater adventure
than travelling to the ends of the earth. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Cultural journeys
Our cultural journeys will help you discover ancient civilizations: India, Thailand, Egypt and
many more. Visit temples, palaces and ancient ruins – just remember to bring your camera!
Get to know local ways of life by exploring markets, trying exotic foods and meeting local
people.

Trekking tours
We have trekking holidays to famous places such as Machu Picchu or the Everest Base
Camp Trek, as well as some nearer to home in the Highlands of Scotland. You don’t need to
be very sporty, just fairly fit. You’ll have a great time enjoying nature with a group of new
friends. Some of the holidays include camping, but we’ll transport the tents for you!

Wildlife holidays
We organize small-group tours to get closer to nature in Africa, Asia or South America. Go on
safari in Africa and watch lions and giraffes. Meet the famous turtles of the Galapagos Islands.
Look for tigers in India, or take an elephant safari in Sri Lanka. We use local guides and stay
in a range of accommodation, from tents to tree houses.
