A) what qualities do I admire of the two people?
I admire the strength and resilience of yip pin xu and how she did not let her disability stop her from participating in the Olympics.

I don’t really that great but I also don’t feel too bad either. I would have preferred to have gotten 20 and above and maybe a2. It’s not the worst grade either so I don’t feel very upset.

I expected a 20 for this essay, however it seems likely I would have gotten worse. I hope for an a2 in the future for discursive essays and hope to work more on this area. It seems like a possible goal to work towards in the future. I prefer narrative essay compared to discursive essays. This is because narrative essays are not as limited as discursive essays, due to the fact that a topic can be branched very far and it allows room for creativity, even while a narrative is more difficult to write, discursive essays are very different to hit the to topic and elaborate. Elaboration for discursive essays are quite difficult unless you are very familiar with this topic, however reading more essays would most likely help with this problem. Discursive essay examples would be beneficial to writer because it can introduce us to more topics and help us with elaboration and let us learn phrases to connect sentences.

What I liked:

I enjoyed staying at home doing my hobbies and catching up on revision. I discovered that you can get free pdf books online so I binged on the more popular books (which wasn’t exactly very good) like hunger games and Percy Jackson because Harry Potter was popular and it was nice, I was getting hunger games and Percy Jackson related art on Pinterest and I couldn’t understand them and I can now understand what people are talking about. I finished the hunger games series and finished the first Percy Jackson book, hunger games was mildly entertaining but i just wanted to know the plot and the story was very slow, Percy Jackson was okay but i could guess the plot very quickly and it wasn’t exactly very great after that. I caught up with my science and Chinese revision which was great.

What I did not like:

Having to go out of the house at all because I don’t like to go out when the house is perfectly fine and stocked with everything I need. Also the hunger games being so slow and exhausting to read so much so that I have to look at my iPad for so long and I might have to get glasses now so that’s not exactly great.

Would you be keen to pick up an extreme sport? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
I would not like to participate in extreme sports for various reasons.

Firstly, in participating in certain extreme sports, for instance, bouldering, parkour and base jumping, the participants usually get serious injuries. For example, there are many new reports of people getting seriously injured from base jumping, where the participants jump from any tall structure, including mountains. This sport is extremely dangerous and it is very easily to seriously injure yourself from landing at the wrong angle or getting hit on the rocks.

Secondly, the death rates of extreme sports are also extremely high, and for some people who might not want to risk that happening, it might not be worth the temporary adrenaline rush.

Lastly, extreme sports can result in exposure to extreme temperatures, examples include freezing temperatures and high water pressure in sports like altitude mountaining and cave diving. For altitude mountaining, you might encounter below freezing temperatures, and you might get frost bite or possibly freeze to death. During cave diving, it is possible that your ears will be damaged due to the water pressure. Therefore it is dangerous to participate in extreme sports like this.

In conclusion, I would not like to participate in extreme sports because of the risks involved.

I would be interested in participating in certain extreme sports. I would be particularly interested in participating in sports like sky diving and base jumping because firstly, I would enjoy the trill it gives me, and secondly, these sports like these seem like interesting activities that I would like to do at least once in my life lastly I think that doing these sports will improve my character and help me develop some bravery.

I personally think that participating in such exciting activities will help boost my mood, and I would like to experience the adrenaline rush as I jump from a high place or from a plane.

Additionally, jumping from such a height will definitely guarantee some breathtaking views of scenery that, from the ground, we rarely get to see. Sky driving and base jumping also seem like very interesting experiences to take part in even if it is only once, i would like to see how it is to jump from a great height.

Lastly I think that doing these activities requires a certain amount of bravery and I would like to gain much more bravery from this experience and confidence to do sports like these in the future.

However, I would definitely not be keen to participate in certain sports high risk sports like mountain biking and cave diving because of the high risk of injury. While in sky diving and base jumping the risk of death is high, in mountain biking and cave diving the chance of very serious injury like paralysis. Especially I am very hesitant to participate in cave diving because I do not like the feeling of drowning and a slow death, and I would prefer a quick and relatively painless way to go.

In conclusion I would like to participate in certain extreme sports but I also would not be too keen on participating in sports like cave diving and mountain biking.
