1st DT English Class 12

(A conversation over the radio)

Maya: The countryside is excellent for extreme sports because of its massive open spaces. So where do urban adrenalin seekers go to get their remedy? Parkour, sometimes known as “free running”, is quickly gaining popularity in London. France is the origin of parkour. The goal is to go from one location to another as quickly as possible by avoiding or overcoming obstacles along the path, such as by leaping or climbing over them. To learn more about parkour, I decided you to attend a class in West London. For over a year, Kevin Smith has been training in parkour. Now, here is Kevin with us.

Maya: What is it about parkour that you like so much, Kevin?

Kevin: It’s a great way to get in shape. It’s creative, and I like doing it. I came because of this

Maya: what kind of tools are required to do parkour?

Kevin: Not too much. We simply utilize the stairs, railings and trees in the area, but if you have a decent pair of running shoes, you should be fine

Maya: How hard is it?

Kevin: I wouldn’t call it challenging; instead, it’s the fear that makes it so. If you have no fear, you will succeed

Maya: I’m not sure I have the balance for parkour, Kevin. Extreme sports include both potential dangers and rewards. Thank you for your time. You inspire us a lot.

What is mainly discussed in the dialogue?

• Parkour, an adrenalin-pumping athletic sport

• The experiences of parkour athlete, Kevin Smith

• We need many equipment for practicing parkour

• An interview between a radio announcer and a parkour athlete

• Kevin Smith, a parkour athlete

To my friend Tina,

                I just knew that your sister has a high temperature. According to what I’ve heard, the infection has been identified as dengue. The good news is that this is no longer a life-threatening condition. There are a lot of medications now on the market. dr. Mia, the excellent doctor, who is caring for your sister, has her in good hands. In two weeks, I’m sure she’ll have come around and be back to normal.

               

I hope she is getting well soon. Perhaps next week. I’d love to catch up with you and your sister.

Respected Sir Ali

                I am writing to bring to your attention the concerning lack of the most recent editions of English textbook for 12^th graders in the library, even a month after the school year commenced. As a result, students are attending classes without access to their necessary textbooks, resorting to using outdated materials handed down from previous students. This situation significantly impedes their ability to gain knowledge and insight from their studies, as the lectures they receive are not complemented by relevant learning resources.

               

I urge you to recognize the urgency of this matter and acknowledge the integral role that textbooks play in education. The provision of up-to-date textbokks is crucial to facilitate effective learning. Understanding the significance of these textbooks in enhancing the educational experience, I appeal to you to ensure their accessibility.

               

I sincerely hope that my concerns will be given due consideration and that appropriate measures will be taken to rectify this issue.
