Que 1. Why do some people enjoy extreme sports?
Some people do extreme sports as a way of knowing their strength and to help them decide that they can do anything they put their heart to, no matter how difficult it is.
A fearful and lazy person can’t do it. It takes a lack of fear and determination to take part in extreme sports.

Yes, they are. Different movies are produced in my country, and people watch them depending on their mood. But young people watch action movies..
Que 3. Do you think it is a good thing if a leader likes to take risks?
Yes I believe it is. A leader that doesn’t take risks can never move forward. The only thing is that the leader should also be responsible for whatever result comes out of the risk. Most especially in business, a leader has to take the risk if he wants his or her company to rise to the top. Risk-taking is one of the functions of a good leader.
Que 4. Do you think men and women will make a different choice about risk-taking?
Yes not all men are risk-takers and not all women are risk-takers. But women tend to take more risk than men.

Young minds are all about taking risks, while old people don’t often take risks, but when they do it is a serious risk.

Water transport should be developed because it is one of the most important means of transport for carrying goods from one part to another in a country.

Many outdoor games are considered to be sports and even have official competitions, such as Frisbee. Indoor games are typically any game that must be played inside, away from the possibility of interference due to weather (rain, wind, etc.) Swimming is an indoor sport.
