    2. Sample answer 1

    An outdoor activity I did recently was on a company excursion in the countryside. It was really exciting – we learned a number of bush craft skills. I’m not sure if you know what those are! It’s like a sort of survival thing – I mean, it’s learning sets of skills that might be useful for survival in the wild – but it’s made into a fun activity that both adults and young people can do on company excursions or school trips and so on. Bush craft skills are things like learning to cook on an open wood fire you build yourself in the woods, making simple animal traps, learning how to climb trees, make dens and learning which types of plants or wild mushrooms you can eat, and which you cannot. It can be a lot of fun actually – and when we did this with our company, we had a morning learning basic skills from a qualified instructor, then we were divided into teams in the afternoon, and had a series of tasks to complete in a given time. We were then scored points by the instructor on how well we did the task. At the very end there was a fairly humourous quiz, then a sort of assault course in the woods. It was a mixture of serious bush craft learning, and basically some fun teambuilding games, rolled into one. I thought it was brilliant, and I had never been to this place in the countryside before (it was a hilly location just outside Chengdu, in a woodland). I asked for help, of course, we had to all ask for help because we worked in teams, and it was part of the team spirit to be open and honest and help each other, and ask for help if we needed to. So, yes, I asked for help. However, during the actual contests in the afternoon, we could not ask for help from the instructor – but we could ask for help from our team members. I learned a lot from it, and felt that it changed my attitude towards team work, and towards nature in general. It was fun and an educational experience.

    3. Sample answer 2

    Recently, I had the opportunity to engage in an outdoor activity that brought me immense joy. It was a hiking trip to a new national park with my close friends during the summer break.

    The activity took place last month in a picturesque national park known for its lush greenery and scenic trails. The day was perfect for hiking, with clear skies and a refreshing breeze. I did the activity with a group of friends from school, and we were all enthusiastic about exploring the natural beauty of the new location. The hike involved traversing a series of trails that led us through dense forests, alongside flowing streams, and eventually to a breathtaking waterfall. The experience was made even more enjoyable by the lively company of my friends, as we shared laughter, stories, and a sense of adventure.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor activity. The combination of being surrounded by nature, the physical exertion of the hike, and the camaraderie with friends created a joyful and memorable experience. The stunning views and the sense of accomplishment upon reaching the waterfall added an extra layer of satisfaction. In conclusion, the outdoor hiking activity in the new national park was a source of great happiness. It provided a perfect blend of nature, physical activity, and shared moments with friends, making it an experience I truly relished.

However, it's crucial to strike a balance and ensure that these activities align with their passions and long-term goals.

    6. When do people usually go outdoors to get close to nature?

    Individuals typically seek solace in nature during weekends, holidays, or whenever they feel the need to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. These moments provide a therapeutic retreat, offering an opportunity for self-reflection, relaxation, and a profound connection with the natural environment.

    7. Where do people like to go for these activities?

    The choice of outdoor locations varies based on personal preferences. In Vietnam, coastal areas like Ha Long Bay, mountainous regions such as Sapa, and well-maintained parks are popular choices.
