Wales/Outdoor Activities
- Read the text and do the quizzes.
Mount Snowdon is a big and tall mountain in Wales. It's the highest mountain in all of Wales and England. People like to climb it and see the amazing views from the top.
You can start climbing from a town called Llanberis. Some people walk up, and others take a train. The train goes up the mountain, and you can look out of the windows to see the beautiful scenery.
On the way up, you might see sheep on the hills. They are a common sight in Wales. The air gets cooler as you go higher, so it's a good idea to wear warm clothes.
When you reach the top, you'll feel proud and happy. You can see lakes, hills, and even the sea on a clear day. It's like being on top of the world!
Mount Snowdon is special because it's part of Snowdonia National Park. This means it's a protected area where nature is important. People from all over the world come to visit and enjoy the beauty of Mount Snowdon and the surrounding landscape.

Biking is a good way to keep fit. Mountain biking is a sport where you go down mountains on a steep trail.
If you buy glass bottles you can recycle them - to cycle means to ride a bike.
You build a house but you put up a tent.
A house has got walls but some mountains have some, too.
If you are outdoor you are in fresh air - indoors it's inside your house.
