2 . Goa, the beach of capital of India, is considered to be a land serving the needs of both the peace lovers and the thrill seekers. Here are some water sports available in Goa.
Water Skiing
If being a leopard (豹) of the sea is what you hope, water skiing is undoubtedly the sport for you. And speedboats are a way to be one. Almost all of the beaches in Goa are considered ideal for this speedy water sport. These speedboats are easily available at the Cidade de Goa, Bogmallo Beach Resort, and the Taj Hotels.
Windsurfing
One of the popular water sports in Goa is windsurfing. It combines the skills required to surf and sail. You can try it at the Dona Paula Bay, as it is considered to be the ideal spot. Moreover, experts can participate in various competitions like the Windsurfing Regatta and Open board Sailing Competition.
Water Scooter
Water scooter is also popular in Goa. The fun of driving a motorbike in the blue waters of the Goan beaches is not to be missed. Even if you are not much of a biker on the sea, and can’t swim, you should not worry as you’ll be properly dressed with a lifejacket or bring along an instructor for confidence’s sake.
Swimming
The waters around the beaches of Goa are warm and safe. All required is to bring your swimming trunks or costumes (服装). Just dive into the waters and enjoy the simple thrills of swimming in the sea. Lifeguards are at all the beaches of Goa, from whom you better check the status of the beach before jumping in.
Now wait no longer and make arrangements for cashing on the fun!

4 . For eight years, American Alex Honnold dreamed about climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without any safety equipment. But whenever Honnold went to the park and looked up at El Capitan, he became frightened.
That changed last Saturday. Honnold, a world-class rock climber, reached the top of the great rock wall in about four hours. He used only his hands and feet. He is the first person ever to climb the 914-meter high granite wall alone and without ropes or safety equipment to catch him if he fell.
Honnold began preparing for his historic climb two years ago. He climbed El Capitan while wearing safety equipment countless times. He tried to memorize every hole he had to hold and the positions of his body. He repeated the climb again and again, until he felt sure enough to try the so-called “free solo” climb.
The most difficult part of the trip is about 700 meters off the ground. At that point, the very small holds in the rock are only big enough for a thumb to fit. But Honnold said the climb was more mentally difficult than physically difficult. “Each year I would show up and it would seem just much too daunting,” he said.
Observers say Honnold’s climb has pushed the limits in a sport that requires a high level of physical ability, risk-taking and mental strength.
The climb up El Capitan once took climbers several days to complete with the aid of ropes, safety equipment and a partner. But in the past 20 years, speed climbers working with a partner and using ropes have set records in reaching the top.
In January 2015, Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson became the first to “free climb” the Dawn Wall, a very steep climb to the top of El Capitan, They used ropes only to catch them if they fell. They reached the top in 19 days.
Honnold has an extreme ability to control fear and his body for a long period of time.

The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters(球迷)of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are four divisions(级别)of the football league.Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!
Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole; basketball, in which you try to got a ball through a net(篮筐); tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent(对手)can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.
Actually(其实), that is not quite true. Athletics(田径)isn’t played with a ball; nor horseracing(赛马). Perhaps that is why they are not so popular as football!

You could win £1,000 in this year’s Fiction Prize and have your story printed in Keep Writing magazine. Ten other lucky people will win a cheque for £100.
Once again, we need people who can write good stories. The judges, who include Mary Littlejohn, the novelist, Michael Brown, the television reporter, and Susan Hitchins, the editor of Keep Writing, are looking for interesting and original stories. Detective fiction was extremely popular last year, although the competition winner produced a love story. You can write down about whatever you want but here’s some advice to start your thinking:
Write about what you know
This is the advice which every writer should pay attention to and, last year, nearly everyone who wrote for us did exactly that. Love, family, problems with friends ---- these were the main subjects of the stories. However, you need to turn ordinary situations into something interesting that people will want to read about. Make the reader want to continue reading by writing about ordinary things in a new and surprising way.
Get your facts right
It’s no good giving a description of a town or explaining how a jet engine works if you get it wrong. So avoid writing anything unless you’re certain about it.
Hold the reader’s attention
Make the beginning interesting and the ending a surprise. There is nothing worse than a poor ending. Develop the story carefully and try to think of something unusual happening at the end.
Think about the characters
Try to bring the people in your story alive for the reader by using well-chosen words to make them seem real.
Your story must be your own work, between 2,000 and 2,5000 words and typed, double-spaced, on one side only of each sheet of paper.
Even if you’re in danger of missing the closing date, we are unable to accept stories by fax or email. You must include the application form with your story. Unfortunately your story cannot be returned, nor can we discuss our decisions.
You should not have had any fiction printed in any magazine or book in this country ---- a change in the rules by popular request ---- and the story must not have happened in print or in recorded form, for example on radio or TV, anywhere in the world.
Your fee of £5 will go to the Writers’ Association. Make your cheque payable to Keep Writing and send it with the application form and your story to:
Keep Writing
75 Broad Street Birmingham
B12 4TG
The closing date is 30 July and we will inform the winner within one month of this date. Please note that if you win, you must agree to have your story printed in our magazine.
1. How should writers deal with ordinary situations while writing?
