  1. Number 3
    Because there are many unpredictable things ahead. Meaning while I cannot get the help. It is dangerous to us. Some people who love try to have new risk want to do what they love. Although they prepare for this but they cannot do everything. So if you cannot overcome accident, you have to put safety first. Everyone is looking forward to good things. Don't do not sure thing.

  3. Question 1.
    I think mountain climbing is most risky activity. Because some layman like me, when we climbing on the top of mountain, we don't know what will happen. May be have little oxygen. So, we need make lots of preparations to ensure our safety. Even buy lots of things about survival but don't know how to use that. But some professional about climbing isn't think climbing have lot's of risk. Because they have lots of knowledge about climbing. So they climbing the mountain is very secure and very funny.

    Question 1
    Answer:
    I perceive that mountain climbing is risky. Because the mountain they climbing always have many snow on it, such as Mount Everest. Many people who do this activity died in avalanche. So it is a dangerous activity. Some people love the mountain climbing. They feel differently about it from me. In my opinion, it is because that they love the challenge of conquer the peak. It can make them feel successful and feel their lives wonderful.

  5. Question2
    In some cases the most dangerous job is a fisherman. some fishermen are fishing on the seas, they may face to storm and it really hard to survive on the sea without helping. In addition, sometimes they also fishing some dangerous sea animals, like sharks or whales, so if they not professional enough may will lose their life during some accidents. But there are also some fishermen do their job on the lack or river, and they just only fishing some small size fish, their job much safer than fishermen who fish dangerous sea animals on the sea. In summary, the fishermen’s job is risky or not it depend on where and what they fish.

    Question 2
    In my opinion, I rate fishing as a very dangerous job. Firstly, fisherman usually leave far away from the land. There are many risks in the ocean such as vagaries of climate, the dispute on the sea and health risk. Sometimes it is easily to get hurt during the fishing. But the income from fishing is not steady. For example, when the Japan nuclear leak,t was this dust which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish although they were outside what American experts believed to be the danger zone.

  7. question 3
    Activities like mountain climbing is all about challenge and perseverance,about putting hands and feet onto rocks and ice and snow.You will never know what things going on next sometimes.It is an unexpected journey to climbers.Even they are with somebody else,when it comes to accident,you will never know who could rescue your life.It is kind of putting your life on a really dangerous situation. The mountains are filled with danger and drama.The higher you go,you need more oxygen,and you can't get lost,it is difficult to find your way also you need oxygen to breath.So we can not imagine thing we have never done, you should think twice before you do it,it is much riskier than we actually think about.

  8. I perceive that mountain climbing is quite dangerous and risky actives. First, you will never know what will happen because you can not control the weather. Second, when the accident happen, no one can help you because you are on the mountain not on the ground so its really hard to find doctor or help. Third reason is may be you can not breath when you climb on the specific height. So I think mountain climbing is risk activities.

  9. Question 3 – Why do you think we perceive activities such as mountain climbing to be riskier than actually are?

    Generally speaking, people easily feel anxious about something they don’t know very well; therefore they will start to imagine all risk may happen before they try. There is no doubt that some activities have potential danger. Take mountain climbing for instance, even you go out with group, you still need to overcome a lot of problem. The most typical example is the cruel weather. In the period of mount climbing, it have lots of unexpected factors may make us die. On top of it, since too many thing can’t control by ourselves, people become more cowardly to face these kind of activities. Consequently, in my opinion, unfamiliar is the most main reason why people perceive activities be riskier than actually are.

    Q2:
    I think fishing is the most dangerous job. Because a fisherman have to work in a harsh environment. Such as a low temperature, strong wind and storm sometimes. Moreover, the fisherman also have to overcome the natural calamities. For example, an Alaska crab catcher often work on sea. In some special occasion, they have to work for 21 hours a day or even longer. Therefore, the catchers can’t get enough time for sleeping or relaxing which means that they are always exhausted on the sea. Some of the fisherman fail into the sea and drown because of the cold temperature and tired.

  11. There are a lot of dangerous job around us; however, I firmly agree with that fisherman is the most dangerous job in the world. Fisherman takes a lot of risks to go to sea. One of reason is that people can face to unexpecting storm. Weather new is not always correct, moreover, it is on the sea. It is difficult to guess what is going to be happened on the sea. When people meet the storm, they cannot do anything without praying. Also, they need to take time for rescuing, but if a ship is capsized, only thing people can do is sinking into the sea. Thus, I believe fisherman is the most dangerous job in the world.

  12. 2. I personally think that fishing should not be that risky job. It is understandable that there can be some accidents. Fishing in a great weather is very safe and relaxing. Some people says that it is very dangerous when it become a bad weather such as storm. However, fishermans are proffesionals. They know what they are doing and when to go out for fishing. They always checks the weather before they starts their day. Thy also take serious about their lives which means that they try not to take the risk.If they are being careful, it will be a safe as other job. There are always instructions or precaustions for evey jobs before they start.

  13. I think that Mountain climbing is most risky activity I ever seen because, first, mountain climbing require a lot of time and effort. Other activities like motocross or bungee jumping just repress few second. However, mountain climbing prepared least 2 years and climb few months. Therefore, mountain climbing has more dangerous moment than other activities. In addition, on mountain is really cold and only little oxygen. As a result, mountain climbing is most dangerous activity in the world.

  14. Question 1
    I think mountain climbing is quite risky. Two of the reasons is high and high pressure so they wear a mask to be protected by high pressure. And other reasons are that climbing is already hard to do properly. While you’re climbing there will be stones or rock coming down through the mountain which can distract you or directly kill you. It’s hard because of the parts that are hard to climb and steep slopes. You should know how to use the rope professionally and it is hard to get over the slippery slopes. Even when we think about all of these, it definitely seems fatal because we have never experienced it and we don’t know how to do it or what to do to survive but people who do it know how to do it everything to survive. Probably, some parts are still hard for them but that is because those people are the ones who have experienced it. Consequently, they know the key points because they do it frequently, they are kind of used to it. I think this is the reason why people who do this activity frequently feel different from those who don’t.

  15. Question: Think of an activity that you perceive to be risky. Why do you think it is risky? Give specific reasons. How would someone who does this activity frequently feel differently about it from someone who doesn’t? Why?




    Answer: I consider the racing as a very risky sport. My reason is that there will be many cars in the stadium and they run on high speed. Its hard to control a car when it’s running fast, a car-racing driver should be fully professional. One little mistake on the track could be deadly dangerous not just for all of the athletes on the road but also could be a risk for audiences in the stadium. Despite it’s a very dangerous pursuit, but still many drivers love to be a racer and many people enjoy watch the compotation in the stadium. In my opinion that’s because the excitability that the racing makes appeals more and more people who is seeking for an excitement to join this activity. Some people love to take risks in an attempt to be happy.
