My favourite book is called Around the World in 80 Days.
It's the story of a man who makes a bet that he can travel
the planet in less than 80 days. Of course, these days that's
not difficult, but the book is set more than 100 years ago.
I love the idea of adventure and exploring, so it's no
surprise that my favourite TV programme is called The
Amazing Race. It's an American game show and it's really
exciting. In the show, teams race against each other
around the world to win a big prize. There are two people
in each team, for example: a husband and wife, a father
and son, best friends, etc. It's important that they have a
good relationship because the race is really difficult and
they need to be strong and help each other.
The race takes them all over the world and they use lots
of different types of transport. They use planes, of
course, to make the longer journeys but they also use
boats, taxis, buses, helicopters, bikes, cars, trains; any transport that makes their journey quicker.
At the beginning of each show, the presenter gives the teams ideas about where they have to go. The last team to arrive at that place leaves the show. When there are only three teams left they race to the final place. The team that arrives first usually wins lots of money.
I love this show because you see lots of really exciting places all over the world. One day I want to be on the show.
