That's English! - Module 9 - Unit 8: Live to tell the tale

Some people love risks but some don't. Nevertheless, sometimes you get involved in dangerous ssituations and you have to sort it out. Here are some general questions to speak about this topic:

• Think abut something dangerous you've done which was good fun and you're pleased you did it. Give general details and speak about how you felt.
• Would you leave your job without having another one to go? Give reasons for your answer.
• Some people are addicted to taking risks. why do you thinkd this happens? Is this your case?
• What is the greatest risk you've ever taken? Tell us what happened.
• Have you ever tried expreme sports? If so, which one and tell us about the experience. If not, explain your reasons for not doing it.

In this lesson you're asked to write about the craziest thing you've ever done or "something you feel strongly about". The most improtant thing with these kind of topics is to sound honest but to be balanced as well. Try to express the pros and the cons, give examples and try to be convincing with your personal point of view. Use the part of expressing objection in the grammar reference (p. 139)
