Looking at the pictures I can see they are running in the desert and the second picture
shows the man who is staying in a tent on a cold mountain covered with a lot of snow.
The people in the first picture, I guess they are taking part in a running activity because
they have numbers on their T-shirts. They look really tired because of the hot weather
and I guess they are becoming dehydrated. By contrast, in the second picture, the weather
is frostbite because the main color of the picture is the color of snow. The man is sitting
on the top of the mountain with a high altitude. He is also wearing a face mask to supply
oxygen. I guess he is a climber, and he wants to conquer this mountain.

There are many amazing stories of human survival, but actually our bodies are very
fragile and do not cope well with extremes. Polar explorers can cope with temperatures of
−40°C, but only if they keep warm. Most people will collapse if their body temperature
drops by only 5°C, and if it drops by 15°C, they’ll die. Heat can be just as dangerous.
Temperatures of 35°C are safe provided humidity is not above 50%. High altitudes are
dangerous too. We pass out when the pressure falls below 57% of normal atmospheric
pressure. This happens at about 4,500 metres. Climbers can go higher because their
bodies gradually get used it, but no one survives for long at 8,000 metres. At high
altitudes, lack of oxygen is another problem. At ground level, about 1/5 of the air is
oxygen. If that falls below 1/10, we die.

A: Have you ever been awake all night or most of the night? If so, when/where/why?
B: Yes, I have. I remembered when I was in grade 9, I usually stayed up late until 2.00 to
3.00 A.M. to do my homework as well as prepare for my big examination to enter high
school. It was really tiring and stressful.
A: Have you ever felt very cold? If so, when/where/why?
B: Yes, I have. That is when I went to Da Lat last year. Because I live in Ho Chi Minh
city, I get used to hot weather. Therefore, when I came to Da Lat, the weather was so
low, just about 15 degrees Celsius. I felt extremely cold.
A: Have you ever experienced high altitude?
B: No, I haven't. You know I'm a kind person who is very scared of heights. I also don't
have any intention to try it one time in the future.
