【原文】

My hobby is sky-diving. Do you know what that is? I jump from an aeroplane and fall

through the air. I open my parachute only when I‘m very close to the ground. Of course it‘s rather

dangerous. Perhaps that‘s why I enjoy it. I think it‘s fun. Very few women do it. But we‘re just as

good at it as men.

I‘m very interested in music. In my free time I play and listen to it. I can play the guitar and

the flute. I enjoy all kinds of music but my favorite is folk music. Good folk music. I like classical

music, too. But I prefer folk music. I‘d like to have my own group some day.

I love all kinds of sports but my favorite is tennis. But I don‘t enjoy watching it. I only enjoy

playing it. And when I play I want to win. That‘s very important. I hate losing!

She was taught where to sit in the aeroplane, how to jump out, how to guide the parachute, and

how to land safely on the ground.

【原文】

I made my first parachute jump because I had read an article about it and I had always

wanted to try it.

Before the jump I went to six training classes. I was taught where to sit in the aeroplane, how

to jump out, how to guide the parachute, and how to land on the ground safely.

On the big day I was very nervous. The weather was cloudy, but the pilot thought it was all

right, so the two of us (the instructor and I) got into the aeroplane with the pilot, and Helen Gray

got into the other. (She wanted to take some parachuting photographs.) We took off and climbed to

1000 metres. I was really very frightened waiting for the big moment! Then the instructor told me

to jump. I looked out of the open door and saw the ground below. It was the most terrifying

moment of my life! I closed my eyes and jumped.

It was a great relief when the parachute opened! I looked up and saw the orange canopy.

Below me was the landing area. It was really beautiful falling peacefully through the air. I landed

well and waited for the instructor. Then we picked up our parachutes and went off to have a coffee

and talk about the jump.

Parachuting is definitely more exciting than other things I have done before — like mountain

climbing and sailing — and it‘s more fun, too. I‘m going to make my second jump next week.
