    Vanuatu is an island nation in the South West Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.

    Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it's very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano-- without getting hit by flying rocks! It's fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport(极限运动).

    Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony(宗教仪式). A man ties tree vines(树藤) to his legs. He then jumps head- first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity.

    Have you ever been cycling(骑自行车运动)? This spring my elder brother and I (spend) a long weekend cycling in the countryside. We rode (slow) along because we hadn't come to break any speed records or do sports. We just wanted (get) some fresh air and a break from schoolwork. We really had a great time (ride) along country roads. And there was one of the best things about our trip that made us happy:

    Every few (kilometre) there was a village where we could find everything we needed.

    All the local people were really friendly. However, second day, something happened. We were going down the hill when my brakes(刹车) started making noise, but I didn't mind at all At midnight we were woken up by the noise in the hotel. We were tired we set off the next morning, but soon felt cheerful when the sun came out.

    What we enjoyed (much) about cycling is—it's simple and fun. I think nothing is (good) than cycling if you're looking for a break that is active and cheap.

    Why not have a try?
