Skydiving: an amazing experience!

by: ChloeBlogger

 

1 When I was 16, I wrote a bucket list. This was a list of things that I wanted to do in my lifetime. One of the things on my bucket list was to do a skydive.

 

2 Two years ago, I spent three months travelling _____1_____ South America. We visited so many places and it was a great experience. One of the most amazing things we saw was Iguassu Falls. The day after we visited the waterfalls we were relaxing in a hostel in Brazil, having breakfast. My friend then suddenly noticed an advert on the wall saying 'skydive _____2______ Iguassu Falls today!' We looked at each other and decided it was time to do ______3______ crazy.

 

3 That afternoon we were picked up and taken to the Skydive Centre. We put on our harnesses and helmets and we were given some instructions. After signing a few papers, we were on our way to the plane! ______4______ 14 of us in a very small space as we took off into the air. This is when my heart started to beat very fast and I felt lots of adrenaline.

 

4 Suddenly we were 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above the ground. Luckily, I was strapped to an instructor so I didn't have to worry about ______5______; I just had to enjoy myself. He asked me if I was ready to fall from the plane ... but before I had time to answer, I felt the wind rushing against my face as we fell to the ground at 200 km an hour! Everything ______6_______ me looked so small and my breath was literally taken away.

 

5 After about 20 seconds of falling, the parachute opened and everything slowed down. We floated peacefully towards earth, leaving the clouds ______7______ us. This was definitely one of the scariest but most exhilarating experiences of my life. I think that everyone should do something that scares them once in a while!

A NEW ALTERNATIVE TO CAR OWNERSHIP

New drivers are usually excited about their new freedom: “My mom doesn’t have to drive me everywhere anymore! I don’t have to ask my friends for rides to school!” When you don’t have your own car yet, any price seems worth paying.

But once you buy a car, you can’t forget your car payments and insurance premiums, or you won’t be a driver for very long. You can’t leave gas and maintenance out of the budget either. Car sharing offers an alternative to these problems, however. Members of carsharing groups have a car when they need one for either short trips of vacations, but they don’t have the high expenses of ownership. They pay very little to use a shared car, and they don’t have to worry about maintaining the car or paying the insurance.

Fees for short trips are only about $3.00 an hour plus $0,50 per mile.

Groups do not have strict requirements either. Members must not have bad driving records or poor credit, and they must not return the cars in poor shape or they will pay extra.
