M:My brother Mike is just on a course at the Green part camping school.
W:Really? What made him decide to do that?
M:Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go with them.
W:You mean he really didn’t want to go?
M: I think he wanted to go, but I think he was also a little frightened. Of course, now that he has done it, he is very pleased with himself,and he’s always talking about it.
W:So he enjoyed it, didn’t he?
M:Not exactly. I think he’s enjoying the feeling of having done it more than actually doing it.
W:What sorts of thing did he do?
M: Em, (1)_______________________________________. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then ride it again without getting out.He said the water was very cold, but he hardly noticed it at the time.
W:Why not?
M:He was too busy riding the canoe.
W:That doesn’t sound very comfortable at this time of the year.
M:That’s what I said when he told me.(2)______________________________________________.
W:Was he frightened?
M:He was first, apparently. But then he got used to it.
W:It seems to me that the course did him a lot of good.I expect it made him more self-reliant.
M:That’s what he said. And now, he wants me to go.
most of all are opening activities , hiking, camping and canoing.
on another accasion, he has to spend the day and night by himself in the open country.
