5 WRITINGA. Read the paragraphs. Answer the questions with a partner. My hobby is rock climbing. I’ve been doing it for a year. In the beginning, I wasn’t very good, but I’ve gotten better. I started rock climbing in high school. I went to an indoor place with my friends. On the first day, I was really nervous, so I only climbed low rocks. It was hard, but fun. I kept working, and now I can climb very fast. I even climb outside now. I like rock climbing because it helps me stay in shape. It’s also a good way to make friends. I’ve met a lot of people. We climb, but we also hang out and spend time doing other things now. U8-p.121
