1 Read the article. What is zorbing?
New Zealand’s Latest Extreme Sport
New Zealand has always been a great destination for adventure sports: everything from climbing and skiing to mountain biking and kite surfing. But have you ever heard of zorbing? It’s the latest craze to come over here from New Zealand.
So what is zorbing exactly? Basically, you get into a huge plastic ball, and then roll down a very big hill! A friend of mine has just tried it at an adventure centre in Devon, and she said it was an amazing experience, it’s not as frightening as parachuting or bungee jumping, but I imagine it’s really exciting.
The New Zealander Andrew Akers invented zorbing in 2000. Since then, more than 100 000 people have tried it around the world. At first Andrew was worried that people might be sick while they were zorbing. Just imagine — that would be awful. But in fact no one has ever been sick inside the ball. I hope I won’t be the first!
I’m going to have a go at zorbing next weekend. So if you want to watch, you’ll find a video clip of the experience on the homepage of my blog. Wish me luck! I’ll tell you all about it in next week’s magazine.

R: Hi Anna, it’s Rob. How’s it going?
A: Hey, good to hear from you! Where are you?
R: I’m at an internet cafe in Wellington — I’m phoning on Skype …
A: How’ve you been? How’s the trip?
R: Fantastic! New Zealand’s an amazing country. I might come and live here!
A: Really?! So where’ve you been so far?
R: Well, I’ve been here on the North Island for three weeks now. I spent two weeks in Auckland, and now I’m in Wellington.
A: Is that the capital city?
R: Yeah, Wellington’s the capital. It’s nice, but it’s really windy here!
A: Well, it’s snowing here so don’t worry! Where are you going next?
R: I’m going to go down to the South Island next week. People say the landscape’s amazing down there -there are all these mountains and glaciers — it’s more remote, y’know …
A: Have you been bungee jumping yet?
R: No, I haven’t. But I might try it when I visit Queenstown. Apparently, that’s the place to go bungee jumping — they invented it there! But I have been mountain biking — I went on a day trip to this volcano called Mount Taranaki…
A: So have you met lots of nice people?
R: Yeah, everyone’s really nice. I’ve met these other guys from England and we’re kind of travelling together.
A: Cool.
R: Hey, is mum there? I’d better say hello … I know I haven’t phoned very much so far!
A: Yeah — she’s just come home from work. Just a minute, I’ll get her…
A: Mum! It’s Rob on the phone!
A: She’s coming … Hey, don’t forget to write your blog, will you?
