The news article...

A mountain rescue team used a ski tow to bunny-hop up a hill to carry out the "unique" rescue of an injured woman.

The hillwalker broke her ankle after slipping on Caerketton Hill in the Pentland Hills, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, at about 17:45 on Sunday.

The incident took place above the Midlothian Snowsports Centre, so Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team used one of the ski tows to get up the hill.

Then they made a sledge to get the woman back down the dry ski slope.

Dave Wright, the rescue team's incident manager, told BBC Scotland they had improvised the move in order to rescue the woman. "The ski centre said it was quite difficult to master the bunny-hop if you have never done it before," he said.

"The tow pulls you up in jerking motions and without skis you are pulled into the air."

Storms are typically given girls' names. Think about 'Storm Irma' that moved across our country. What is the name of the storm that left a trail of destruction in its wake in New Zealand?

1. Gabrielle
2. Debby
3. Felicia
4. Wilma

Practise Exam Text 

 What is the point made about tiny house owners in paragraph 2?

A They failed to settle down in the way society expects of them.

B They have their own reasons for choosing to live as they do.

C They share a passion for living an environmental-friendly lifestyle.

D They suffered a financial loss that forced them to downsize. 

Tiny Living

2 Each tiny home tells a story about its owner(s) – how it was built, where it

has traveled, and what purpose it serves. Mario lost his house in the 2008

recession, and when it came time for him to buy a new house after paying

off his debts, he looked for an alternative. He built his house completely

on his own, and included features like saltwater batteries, wireless lights,

a skylight, air conditioning, and a wireless door. Going green wasn’t his

motivation, but that lifestyle fit well with tiny living. Jenna and Guillaume

didn’t want the burden of a mortgage and debt, so they quit their 9-5 jobs

for a tiny-house lifestyle. Alexis and Christian always loved the concept of

outdoor living. 

* Welke redenen worden hier gegeven? Lijken die op elkaar of verschillen ze? 

TIP!

Choice...
