Hien Le Aptis - Aptis Real Tests Person A: I am really into sports, and am always up for trying new games. When I traveled to Canada with my family, I tried curling. I have never played it before because I live in a hot country. I thought it would be a piece of cake. How hard can a sport that uses a broom be? Well, I was wrong. In fact, you actually need a lot of upper body strength and balance to succeed. Needless to say, I’m writing this the day after with bruises from falling over! Person B: I had just moved to the United States and wanted to make friends at my school, so I signed up for the football team. When I arrived at try-outs, we began with some agility drills and the coach seemed pretty impressed with how fast I could sprint. Then, we were asked to throw an oddly-shaped ball as far as we could, and I was confused. It was then I realized that the try-outs were for American football, not European football, or soccer as it is called here. No wonder I was the smallest person there! Person C: When I was younger, I never wanted to play team sports. My dad would always encourage me to join a team, but I was not interested. It’s not that I don’t like physical activity.

However, I think of myself as a very competitive person. I am always trying to achieve new personal targets and beat my last timing. Person D: Growing up, my brothers used to watch professional basketball matches on TV, but I never understood the appeal. Despite this, I fell in love with the energy in the crowd of a live sports match. My school has a really great basketball team, and I know a few people who are on it. I get really into the games and scream my loudest to cheer on my friends. It makes me feel so proud. Playing it is a different story though. You wouldn’t catch me on a basketball court even as a substitute!

The start of the conservation project Flying tortoises An airborne reintroduction programme has helped conservationists take significant steps to protect the endangered Galapagos tortoise. 1. On Galapagos island, only the thick vegetation at the skirt of the peak of Sierra Negra offers accommodation for animals. This difficult environment is home to the giant Galapagos tortoise. Around five million years ago, many tortoises started to live on the island. The different populations adapted to their unique environments, giving rise to at least 14 different subspecies. Island life agreed with them. In the absence of predators, they grew to become the largest tortoises on the planet, weighing more than 400 kilograms, occasionally exceeding 1.8 metres in length and living for more than a century. 2. Before human arrival, the tortoises numbered in the hundreds of thousands. From the 17 th century onwards, pirates took a few on board for
