Thrill-seeker: a person who enjoys taking part in extreme sports and other activities involving physical risk
So many of my English students in Cape Town used to terrify me with videos of them bungee jumping or swimming with sharks!
I would NEVER do anything like that, for me riding a rollercoaster is all the excitement I will need.
Having said that, I am considering abseiling down Table Mountain in a few months, but that's not for fun, that's for charity!
I found this great article about the best activities for thrill-seekers in Cape Town, if you're studying there, or would like to, why not try one of them?
But please do not tell me about it!
I've taken some of the words out of the article - can you put them in the correct gaps?
I've also given you some helpful vocabulary to help you understand the text.
Good luck!
