IV. Read the passage and answer the questions (2,0 points)
Australia is a big country, but nearly all Australians live in towns near the sea. On hot summer days you can see thousands of people at the beach. Many beaches have waves that are very high. Surfing is not a new sport. Perhaps its origins need explaining. It started hundreds of years ago in Hawaii. Men swam out to sea to catch fish and found they could come back to land very quickly by riding waves. These first surfers did not use a board. They were “body surfers”. Many people still do this type of surfing today.
After a while people started to use boards and rode the waves by lying, kneeing or standing on them. These first surfboards were made of wood and the water made them rot after a while. Today surfboards are made of plastic or fiberglass instead.
