Adventure Travel Why do people travel? Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit famous or beautiful places. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, or simply to get away from hot or cold weather. Many of today’s travellers are looking for an unusual experience, so adventure travel is becoming popular. There are two popular kinds: hiking and rafting. Hiking If you don’t want to spend your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You can get close to nature and do exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy and doesn’t need too much money. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest, or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city. You don’t need too many, just good shoes, clothes and a backpack. Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety. Here are some tips(注意事项): Don’t hike by yourself. Tell someone where you are going. Bring a good map and a phone. Some animals or plants may be dangerous. Rafting Another exciting adventure is rafting. It is a good way to experience nature. You can go rafting on a quiet river that has few trees and rocks. You can also try whitewater rafting. The word “whitewater” means the water looks white because the river runs too fast. It is a little difficult and dangerous. You have to be careful not to hit rocks, trees and other dangers. Rafting may be a little expensive. You need a boat and paddles(船桨), When you go rafting, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You shouldn’t go rafting alone. You’d better know how to swim and don’t forget to wear a life jacket(救生衣). While- Reading 1.
