HAVE A BALL
ln 1994 two New Zealanders, Dwane van der Sluis and Andrew Akers, created a new adventure activity. They designed a big plastic ball and called it a zorb. That’s when zorbing began! It’s very easy. All you do is get inside the ball and then somebody rolls you along the ground or down a hill. Don’t worry. It’s not as dangerous as it seems because the zorb is made of soft plastic and is full of air.
From the very beginning, people enjoyed zorbing and soon it became a very popular free-time activity. Today, you can go zorbing in many countries around the world and there are different kinds of zorbing. You can get in a water ball and roll across a lake or the sea. Or you can even get in a zorb and let huge fans blow you into the air. Some zorbs are big and strong enough for up to three people,
but you can also ride alone!
The people who designed the zorb were famous designers.
A person who goes zorbing is called a zorb.
Zorbing is safer than it looks.
It’s easy to make a zorb.
Zorbing became popular at the beginning of the twentieth century.
You can even go zorbing on a lake if you want.
You don’t have to go zorbing on your own.

CAMPXTREME
We interviewed Alan King, the camp leader of the most popular summer camp in the country.
Ten years ago. I spent three weeks at a summer camp and had the best time of my life. I remember every day I was there, and I still have friends from then. So, I decided I wanted other children to have the same experience as me.
Well, after I left school, I worked at a few summer camps. I wasn’t a camp leader then and I didn’t get any money for it, but I learnt what a good leader needs to do. So, when I opened my own summer camp, I was ready to become one. Since then I’ve organised lots of unforgettable activities. The kids love it!
It was actually very easy. All I did was think about what kids want from a summer camp. They want adventure I and exciting activities. They want to go home and say ‘You won’t believe what I did!’ So, extreme sports was the best Idea.
lots of kids have come to my camp, and I rarely hear any kids or parents complain. In fact, the only trouble I have is when there are too many kids who want to join. Unfortunately. I have to tell them to come back the following year and, of course, they aren’t very happy with the news.

WHAT A NIGHT!
One night last November, something terrible happened. We were getting ready to go to bed when it started raining. However, we weren’t worried because it often rains here and there are rarely any serious problems.
At 2 am my brother woke me up and said, ’There’s water everywhere!’
From the top of the stairs, the living room downstairs looked like a lake! We went downstairs and saw our parents trying to get the Furniture off the wet Floor. Our Father told us not to panic. He had started taking some things upstairs, so we helped him. OF course we got really wet. Half an hour later, our Father called the Fire brigade because more water was coming in. They told us to turn off the electricity and wait. The whole town had Flooded and they couldn’t help everyone. ‘We’re going to drown!’ I shouted. My dad took my brother and me back to bed. However, the temperature had dropped so it was very cold and we couldn’t sleep.
The rain stopped the next morning. A Fire engine arrived at noon and the Firefighters started pumping out the water. As soon as they left, we started cleaning up. We were exhausted but relieved. It was a difficult job because everything was a mess. The Flood had destroyed lots of our things.
We even had to throw away my new computer and all my computer
games. It was a horrible night! (Harry Farmer)
