- The last time I felt afraid is when I was going to start the university, and this is because the university is a new world, a whole new experiences and new stages, and for me to apply all of those things in my life they were making me afraid of how these things will be.                                                            

3. Would you like to try any dangerous activities? If yes, which ones?

- Some of the dangerous activities that I would like to do is to jump out of a plane with parachute, explore the habitats of the animals of Africa and to eat different kinds of food around the world.

- I took a career risk when I decided to study something else in the university.                              

2. Why do you take the risk? How did you feel afterwards?

- I took that risk, because God help me to see which study it was the perfect one for me and afterward, I felt secure because I knew inside of me that I was making the correct decision.

- I would like to work with dangerous animals, because I like the animals very much and my favorites are wild ones.

1. Three sport in which you need to be strong.

2. Three countries that are close to your country.

3. Three animals that are about the size of a small car.

- The person who is on page 84, is climbing rocks and the person who is on page 85, is taking pictures of the big and beautiful whale under the sea. I think both activities are risky because they could die, the person on page 84 can fall and the person on page 85 could drown.

1. “Taking a risk” means doing something dangerous or uncertain. What risk do you sometimes take?

- Sometimes in my university life, I took the risk of having a good sleep no matter how many assignments I have to complete, and this is just because sleep is very important.

2. What kinds of people take a lot of risk in their lives?

- In my opinion, the risk that a lot of people take, is that they forget what other people think about them to look and achieve their life dreams or goals no matter how difficult they can possibly be.

Being a rock climber is dangerous because you can fall and obviously die. 

Being an underwater photographer is also dangerous because humans are not used to be under water for long periods of time, and since its not our natural habitat we can get sick. 

D. 

I think Ashima Shiraishi takes more risks because she doesn’t have anything to hang on or to know that is she slips she can grab that, also she is so young and she can be naïve she may need when to stop but she may don’t want to and then she could fall. 

"Think and disscuss" 

I sometimes take a good nap in the middle of the da just to get my energy back and I end up wasting way too much time. 

People take risk everyday like they forget to live their life just because someone will judge them , live your life, be yourself and be happy, that’s all that matters. 

Sometimes, I don’t sleep as much I’m supposed to.

 People that have a risky profession like policemen, nurses, doctors, rescuers, skydivers, wildlife rescuers, firefighters, electricians, builders. 

Yes, I basically want to master it. I have a good pronunciation in English and quite accurate way in understanding the language but, sometimes I don’t know how to write things correctly. I mostly guide myself in the pronunciation and the sound of a word instead of its grammar and way of writing.

A.  Would you like to work with dangerous animals? Why or why not? DISCUSS

1. Boxing, Baseball, Wall-climbing

2.  Guaynabo, San Juan, Cataño

3. Horse, Rhinno, Zebra

The two people in the passage have risky professions. There is a teenage wall climber that has to have strength, precision, and speed to climb the wall, and an underwater photographer, that has to know how to manage his body under water, be alert of dangerous water species and know his angles to know his angles to take nice pictures.

I believe the girl Ashima Shiraishi is the person that takes the most risk compare to the others. I believe so because she is taking risks at a very young age, her body is still in growing process, she is climbing in very difficult and high climbing walls, if she ever falls from one that is higher and more dangerous, she has a possibility to crush herself, her dreams and most likely her future and life.
