One-day adventure (冒险) course
This is a chance you have been waiting for. Come and try sailing, climbing and surfing. This course is trying to introduce outdoor activities to adults in a fun way. You do not need to be very fit or to have had experience of the activities. All you need is to be interested.
Play Park
The Play Park is suitable for children from 2to 10 years of age. It is one of the best of its type in the country. It has sand and water play, a large ball pool, play castle and much, much more.
Group day and weekend courses
We also offer day and long weekend courses for groups. We receive regular visits from schools and colleges. There are three large rooms with twelve beds in each, which can be booked beforehand for groups of up to 36people (12 at least).

Safety is of great importance at the Outdoor Centre. All our workers are fully trained in first aid, and able to teach the activities on offer. We also make certain that all children only take part in activities that are suitable for their age and physical abilities. For this programme children must be able to swim 25metres and be in good physical health.
One morning in July, Tina came downstairs and saw Mom and Dad talking at the kitchen table. Mom saw Tina standing at the doorway. She smiled at Tina, but her smile was missing in the sunshine.
"Good morning, my little treasure," Dad said. "Could I talk to you about something?" "OK." Tina said. "You know that Dad has a very important job," Mom said. Tina nodded. "He helps keep people safe." Tina said.
"That's right," Dad said. "Sometimes that means I need to help people who live far away from us," he paused (停顿).
"When I do that 
I have to leave you and Mom for a while." Tina looked at Mom then at Dad. "Are you going away?" she asked. Dad nodded. "Dad, how long is a while?" "In order to really help," he said, "I have to go back home in July next year." After Dad said this, Tina couldn't hear anything but the tick-tock of the clock on the wall. Then Tina felt tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Tina didn't want her dad to leave her. That's because Dad is her favorite person. Dad and Tina do lots of fun things together. They can spend a whole day playing table tennis. They play musical instruments together. Dad plays the drums, and Tina plays the cymbals. Mother calls them "rock stars".
"But if you are away for that long," said Tina, "won't you forget me?" Mom put her hand on Tina's back and Dad pulled her and Tina into a big hug. "No, honey," Mom said, "Dad could never forget you."
An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
Time is the most valuable thing that mankind has. . Many people try to manage their time. They arrange information and tips in order to effectively do so.
. Time can be managed easily by finding out what is important and arranging these things in the order of importance. In this way you know your direction before making any plans and do not waste time and energy unnecessarily.

Time management also demands a set schedule that works best for you. In this way you will be able to arrange your tasks based on their importance and finish them. In this way you will not waste your time in beating around the bush.

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn't think there would be any1, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies2at my desk, a pale woman and four children.
"Are you all3?" I asked. "Yes," she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to4of their problems, things got a little strange. Two of the children had headaches, but they didn't show any5of headaches at all. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother6of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong. Our hospital policy,7, was not to turn away any patient. I explained it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded immediately, even a bit8"Take your time," and then added, "It's warm in here."
Then, I checked their registration form out of curiosity. No address—they were9.The waiting room was warm. I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless10in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining of11on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get12on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a13emergency. But this was a Christmas emergency.
We were all14a free meal on Christmas Day, so we took back that meal and prepared a big dinner for our15.We needed presents. We16from different departments candies, fruits and other things17that could be presents. As seriously as we met the18needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas.
19, as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother came20back, gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today."
Once, three men got (lose) in the forest. They decided they would stay in the forest until they found (they) way. The next morning, one man went to find some food. Soon, the other two men were (surprise) to find him back with a deer and asked how he got the deer. The man replied, “I found tracks, I followed the tracks, and I got a deer.” They both were (slight) confused because he had no weapons. A few days (late), the second guy went in search food and soon came back with a deer too. The other two asked how he managed (get) the deer. His reply was same as the first man's. Then it was the turn of the third guy to search for food. Many hours passed, and the third man (hold) nothing in his hands came back, with blood on his face. The other two asked him had happened. He looked at them and relied, “I found tracks, I followed the tracks, and I got hit by a train.”
