Câu 1: Read the passage about Scuba Diving:
Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving where the diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) to breathe underwater. Unlike snorkeling, which relies on holding one"s breath or using a snorkel to breathe at the surface, scuba diving allows divers to stay submerged for extended periods. This opens up a world of underwater exploration, from vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life to mysterious shipwrecks and underwater caves.
Essential scuba equipment includes a mask, fins, a buoyancy control device (BCD), a regulator, a dive computer or gauges, and a scuba tank filled with compressed air. Safety is paramount in scuba diving. Divers must undergo rigorous training and certification to learn proper techniques, emergency procedures, and how to manage their equipment and ascent/descent rates to avoid decompression sickness. Always dive with a buddy and within your certified depth limits.
Scuba diving offers numerous benefits, including physical fitness, stress reduction, and a unique opportunity to connect with the natural world. It requires respect for the marine environment; divers are encouraged to maintain neutral buoyancy to avoid damaging delicate ecosystems and never to touch or take marine life.

Câu 7: Read the passage about Surfing:
Surfing is a water sport in which a person, called a surfer, rides on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Surfing originated in Polynesia, with ancient roots in Hawaii. Modern surfing began to flourish in the early 20th century, particularly after Duke Kahanamoku, a Hawaiian swimmer, popularized it globally.
Successful surfing depends on several factors: the size and shape of the waves, the wind conditions, the tide, and the type of surfboard used. Different boards are suited for different wave conditions and skill levels. Beginners often start with larger, more buoyant boards, while experienced surfers might use smaller, more maneuverable ones for bigger waves or tricks.
Learning to surf takes practice and patience. It involves paddling out to catch a wave, popping up to stand on the board, and riding the wave while maintaining balance. Safety tips include knowing your limits, checking local conditions, and respecting other surfers in the water. The feeling of riding a wave is often described as exhilarating and addictive, attracting millions worldwide.

Kayaking and canoeing are paddle sports that involve propelling a small boat through water using a paddle. While often grouped together, there are key differences. Kayaks are typically enclosed boats where the paddler sits with their legs extended in front, using a double-bladed paddle. Canoes are usually open boats where the paddler kneels or sits on a raised seat, using a single-bladed paddle.
These sports can be enjoyed on various bodies of water, including calm lakes, slow-moving rivers, whitewater rapids, and even the open ocean. The choice of boat and location depends on the desired experience, from leisurely touring and fishing to adrenaline-pumping whitewater adventures.
Benefits include physical exercise, exploring nature, and developing upper body strength and core stability. Proper technique is important to avoid injury and paddle efficiently. Safety gear, such as a life jacket (personal flotation device - PFD), is crucial, especially in moving water or open conditions. Learning basic strokes and recovery techniques is also highly recommended.

Water polo is physically demanding, requiring excellent swimming ability, stamina, and strength. Players cannot touch the bottom of the pool (unless it"s shallow enough near the goals) and must continuously tread water. Fouls are common and can result in a free throw or an exclusion from the game for a short period.
Teamwork and strategy are vital in water polo. Teams must coordinate their movements, defense, and offense to score goals and prevent the opponent from scoring. It"s a fast-paced game that combines elements of swimming, soccer, basketball, and handball.

Câu 25: Read the passage about Freediving:
Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on holding one"s breath rather than using a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear. Competitive freediving involves athletes attempting to descend to great depths, stay underwater for extended periods, or swim long distances horizontally, all on a single breath. There are various disciplines, such as Static Apnea (holding breath for time), Dynamic Apnea (swimming distance horizontally), and Constant Weight (descending and ascending using fins or a monofin without pulling on the rope or changing weight).
Freediving requires intense physical and mental training. Athletes train their bodies to become efficient at using oxygen and tolerate high levels of carbon dioxide. Mental training focuses on relaxation techniques to slow the heart rate and manage the urge to breathe. It"s a sport that demands extreme self-control and awareness of one"s body.
Safety is paramount. Freediving should never be done alone. A trained buddy is essential for monitoring the diver and performing rescues if needed. Shallow Water Blackout is a significant risk, often occurring on ascent due to physiological changes. Proper training and adherence to safety protocols are critical.
