[25 marks] Many people believe it is irresponsible and not worth it doing risky activities. However, others .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… believe they are exciting and a fun way to live your life. I believe that both can be true, depending on the .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… circumstances and the activity being talked about. For example, some might say that tightrope walking .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… is dangerous and should not be done. However, I would say that if the tightrope is not high or there is a .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… net under it, it would not be dangerous. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… There are many kinds of risky activities. Such as tightrope walking, rock climbing, canopy walks .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… and extreme sports. There are also various degrees of risk and danger involved with different activities. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… For example, in rock climbing the risk would depend on how high the rocks are and whether you are .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… using a rope or not. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Most people think that risky activities are bad because they could end up injuring themselves. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… However, many people do not think of the fact that those performing the activities take the danger into .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… account and perform them carefully and in many cases, they will add certain things to prevent .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… themselves from getting hurt. For example, using a net when tightrope walking. However, if you do not .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… take these things into account, you could easily hurt yourself. Also, doing these activities might cause .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… others to want to do them and they may not do so carefully. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… For many people the appeal comes from the excitement and the fun of the activity. The risk .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… involved is what makes it exciting for people and often, fun activities can be dangerous. Risky activities .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… also provide jobs for people. Such as people who act as instructors for things like tightrope walking or .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… extreme sports or people who entertain others by doing things like tightrope walking. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… In conclusion, I believe that although risky activities can be dangerous, they can also be quite .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… exciting, fun and, in some cases, can become a source of income for people and in general, the pros .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… outweigh the cons. .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… © UCLES 2019 1111/01/O/N/19 9 .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… .……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… © UCLES 2019 1111/01/O/N/19 [Turn over 10 Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
