much as 150 pounds. A surfer needed great strength(力量) just to get the board from the beach to the water! Also the early surfers didn’t ride standing up. They rode just lying on their stomachs. That was the only way to control the large boards.
3. Those surfers lived in the islands of Polynesia, in the South Pacific. In 1778 the surfers took the sport to Hawaii. There surfing quickly became popular. The beaches and waves of Hawaii are perfect for surfing.
4. In 1907 George Freeth was the first person to ride a wave in the United States. He surfed in Redondo Beach in California.
5. For years the sport of surfing spread slowly. In the 1950s surfing was known as a young people’s sport because mostly young people seemed to enjoy it. In 1961 rules for surfers were written. The surfers themselves, along with some surfboard companies, made up the rules. 6. Today surfers are looked upon as sportsmen. Southern California is still the surfing center of the United States. Thousands of people surf there. Thousands more are fans of famous surfers. Surfing is here to stay.
7. Surfers must still be strong. To surf, a person should be able to swim well. Both on top of and under the water. A surfer must also be able to float(漂浮) for a long time. A good surfer must keep his or her eyes open at all times, even underwater.

Monologue: Thank you all for coming. I’m going to give you the final details of our camping trip next week. You may like to make some notes as there’s a lot to remember.
The bus will be outside the school on Monday morning at 7:30 and we will set off at 7:45, so don’t be late. There will be room on the bus for only one bag each, so please don’t bring more than one bag or suitcase. You don’t need to bring too much food as that’s all provided for us, but you need to bring a sleeping bag. It turns cold at night, so bring some warm clothes too. If we’re lucky enough, the sun will shine and we’ll be able to use the outdoor pool on the site, so don’t forget your swimming things.
On to pocket money — please don’t bring too much. We can’t keep a lot of money safe. ￡5 per day should be plenty, so you can buy souvenirs and drinks while we are out visiting places.
You’ll probably also want to bring some extra money for the last day when you are free. The camp is in the middle of the countryside, so if you’ve had enough fresh air by then, you may want to go shopping in the nearest town about eight miles away. That’s Southport. There’s plenty to do and there’s a bus that stops outside the post office in the village down the road. I’ll point it out to you when we get there.
