The Amazing Race (TAR) is a popular reality TV show. Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster created it in
2001 and since then it has won many awards. In the show, teams travel around the world to different places.
They try to arrive first, or at least not come last and they also try to win prizes on their journey.

Every year, between 10 and 12 teams play on the show. There are two people in each team and they must
know each other before they come on the game. For example, they can be husband and wife, parents and
children, friends, etc. They have to travel to different countries and work together on the journey. The teams
get some money at the beginning of the race and they use it to buy food, tickets, etc. They can use planes,
trains, bikes or even skis to travel.

The teams explore places they’ve never been to before and have games or ‘challenges’. These challenges have
some connection to the country they are in and can be things like riding a camel, solving puzzles or eating a
lot of food, for example. The teams often have to face extreme weather conditions during their journey. Many
times they are outside in the rain or snow or in storms and get cold and wet. It’s all part of the experience,
though.

Each week, one team leaves the show, and in the end there are only four teams. The first team to get to the last
city on the journey wins the game. TAR is a very hard game and the teams become really stressed, but it’s an
amazing experience.

1. What do teams in TAR do? 3. Which of the following difficulties does the writer
a. They do different sports. mention?
b. They win awards and prizes. a. wild animals
c. They race to various places. b. bad weather
c. strange food
2. How many players are there on the show?
a. between 10 and 12 4. What does the writer think of TAR?
b. between 20 and 24 a. It isn’t easy but it’s a wonderful adventure.
c. two or more b. It’s best for stressed people.
c. It’s very dangerous but it can make you rich.

READ
Read the text below and write T for True or F for False.

Havasu Falls are in the Havasu Canyon next to the Grand Canyon in the southwestern USA. There are
actually three waterfalls in the area: Havasu, Mooney and Navajo. The waterfalls are in the Havasupai Indian
Reservation, the home of the Havasupai people. ‘Havasupai’ means ‘people of the blue-green waters.’

The best time to visit the falls is in spring, in the months of April and May because the weather is cool, but it is
warm enough to swim. Later, in summer, it gets hot and rainy and there can be floods, too. Visitors can camp
in a campsite or stay at the Havasu Lodge. But you have to book a room at the Lodge three or four months
before you plan to go.

To reach the falls you start at the parking area at Hualapai Hilltop. From there you can walk, ride a horse or fly
in a helicopter to Supai village, 13 km away. From Supai village it is about 4 km to Mooney Falls.

You don’t have to be an experienced hiker to walk to the falls because the walk is safe, even for beginners.
However, you must be very careful because there are many dangerous cliffs. There are also caves to explore on
the way. It is a good idea to take water with you and to watch out for rattlesnakes, too.
SCORE 8

Whether you walk, ride a horse or take the helicopter, the impressive waterfalls and the peaceful surroundings
make this one of the most fascinating places you can visit. It is an unforgettable experience.

1. Havasu is one of the three waterfalls in the Grand Canyon.

2. The months of July and August are not a good time to visit the falls.
3. The Mooney Falls are about 17km from the parking area.
4. The walk to the falls is dangerous for walkers without experience.
