CHOOSE THE CORRECT TEXT STRUCTURE

People who live in cold climates know that there are several

different winter sport choices. If you enjoy flying down

hills at breakneck speeds, you’ll need to choose between

snowboarding and skiing. Both are winter sports where

you move along snow with boards attached to your feet.

While skiing, you’ll have a ski attached to each foot, and a

pole for each hand. Snowboarding, on the other hand, uses

only one board, which both feet are attached to. Skis and

snowboards both require boots to buckle into. While you

need a sloped hill to snowboard down, with skis, you can

cross country ski on snowy flat land. Your body’s position

will also be different depending on the sport you choose—

snowboarders ride down hills sideways, and skiers move

straight ahead. Either sport is a thrilling winter activity!
