3. Read the interview below and answer the questions.
Interviewer: Mr. Alimova, you say that orienteering is your passion. Please,
tell us more about your passion.
Trainer: OK. I have been doing orienteering since I was 12 years old. I’ve
been working as a trainer for the last ten years and have many
young students for the World Rogaining Championships 2021.
Interviewer: Impressive! Mr. Alimova, could you please tell us the basics of
orienteering? 1
Trainer: Sure. Orienteering is the sport of navigation, often held in
unfamiliar terrain, using a map and compass. It is easy to learn
and a fun way to exercise your body and mind simultaneously
while enjoying the outdoors.
Interviewer: Do people need any special equipment to start orienteering? 2
Trainer: Well, to take up this hobby, no special equipment is required.
3
You need a compass, electronic punch and emergency whistle
if required at the events. You should receive a map at the start.
4
Also, running or hiking shoes, comfortable clothes and especially
long pants are recommended. These are the typical equipment
you know. Besides, I want to add that optional equipment may
include a watch for timing, cell phone-only for emergencies, or
a control description holder. 5
Interviewer: What do you recommend to parents about orienteering? I
mean, how helpful is orienteering for children?
Trainer: Well, I suggest that they encourage their children to start
6
orienteering. It is helpful for them in using their sense of
navigation and it is an accepted fact that orienteering supports
students in geography lessons at schools.
Interviewer: Thank you Mr. Alimova. We wish you luck in the World
Rogaining Championships 2021.
Trainer: Thank you.
