tourist development a priority. It has spent money on building hotels,
airports, safari huts and all the other requirements for tourists from
developed countries. The planes landing at Nairobi airport bring rich tourists
from Europe, North America and Japan. Some come for Kenya's fine beaches. Most
are more interested in the wildlife of East Africa. Lions, zebras, elephants and
hippopotamuses are among the attractions.

Kenya's tourist industry earns the country over £200 million per year,
but tourism does bring problems for a developing country. Only 75 per cent of
the money spent by tourists stays in Kenya. The rest is taken by foreign
companies which provide the hotels and the safaris. The tourists drink Scotch
whisky or Russian vodka. The hotels are fitted
with American air-conditioning and Japanese lifts. The electrical system is
Dutch and the fire control system is Italian. These imports cost Kenya vital
foreign exchange. Kenya borrowed money from overseas to pay for the tourist
developments, and much of the profits from tourism are spent in repaying the
loans. There have been several armed attacks on tourists. The bad publicity hit
in Kenya's tourist earnings because people were frightened off. It is risky to
become over-dependent upon tourism. Most of the jobs created for Kenyans are
unskilled and poorly paid. Some complain that tourism is a new form of
colonialism.

There are many different kinds of activities for us to enjoy nowadays. In fact, there is something for all personality types.

If you are the brave, adventurous kind,

you can try skydiving or white-water rafting.

Many people are crazy about sports like these (1). Today we live in the 'extreme' sport world. We seek adventure instead of

(2).

If you are the quieter type, you may enjoy gardening or fishing. These activities are more relaxing 9 (3). Seeds sewn in the spring result in beautiful flowers that can brighten up your mood; fishing with friends can strengthen the relationship you have, or may just be a relaxing day out with a tasty supper at the end!

The imaginative may take up art classes or learn sculpture. In today's fast-paced world we all appreciate the opportunity to express

ourselves and take it easy (4) . Solitary

activities like knitting or stamp collecting, once considered to be old-fashioned, are becoming popular again.

Traditional team sports like football or basketball are great for developing team spirit and a sense of national pride. However, shy, reserved types prefer to watch them from the comfort of their couches rather than practise the sport itself. It is a pity(5).

Today's pastimes are often linked to technology and may encourage us to be lazy. Surfing the Net or chatting online is a popular pastime for many but more sociable types prefer to go to the cinema or go to an exhibition (6).

Whatever we like to do in our free time, the main thing is to find something that we enjoy doing and be open to new experiences.

A as sports like these have the ability to make us fit and strong

B and they bring many rewards

C because some people would rather go snowboarding

D where they can be in direct contact with people

E because of the adrenaline rush they get from them

F after a hard day at the office

G staying at home and playing cards or board games
