where the help and
collaboration of our
adventure partners are

end well.
hobby, that of walking
outdoors, has become a
complete sport with more and
more followers every day:
hiking.
Walking is one of the
simplest, most comfortable
and complete physical
exercises that exist. Medical
specialists recommend an
active lifestyle in which it is
sufficient to walk a minimum
of 30 minutes five days a
week to preserve health.
However, if the physical
conditions of each person
allow it, it is advisable to
increase this minimum of
physical activity.

Is it popular? Yes Yes

Is it dangerous? With the feeling of risk will be Yes

continuous.

Give your opinion.

Rafting & Kayak Hiking

Rafting & Kayaking is a sport which I have
practiced, I like the adrenaline, the risk and
above all the water, the feeling of crashing
into the water. With the family it is much
more fun.
Hiking seems to me to be a very good sport,
especially for mental health, for those who
want to disconnect from the daily routine of
the city. I would practice it to get to know new
places and because I like camping.

Then make a presentation in Power point.

 5. Make a comparative scheme between Present perfect and simple past.
