 Re-read your work once you have finished and look out for any silly mistakes.

BREAKING THE WAVES AT MAVERICKS


Part 1
To surfers young and old, Jay Moriarity, famous big-wave rider from Santa
Cruz, was a natural-born hero. And so it was all the more terrible when his
buddies learned that he had died last week at the age of 22, thousands of
miles away in a diving accident.
Even those who don’t particularly like surfing respected and valued Moriarity’s
attributes: a world-class athlete at the front lines of his sport, a fearless
adventurer who braved California’s biggest and worst waves, and a genuine,
kind-hearted person.
Moriarity did not die as some would have imagined or expected - on the
roaring edge of a colossal breaker. He died instead while diving alone in the
Maldives, a group of islands off the southern coast of India.
Part 2
Friends, acquaintances and admirers described Moriarity as having a special

START-UP 10 WRITTEN TESTS Block 1 Test 1

touch of innocence and fearlessness. They said he was the product of a


strong, supportive family. Most importantly, they said, he lived life to
the fullest. Moriarity became an internationally acclaimed surfing star at the
age of 16 when a cover photo for Surfer Magazine caught his longboard being
lifted beneath him by a 25-foot wave - the most famous wipeout ever recorded
on film.
Part 3
Jeff Clark, the big-wave surfer who discovered Mavericks break off Pillar
Point, recalled seeing Moriarity try it for the first time.
“He will never be forgotten,” said Clark, his eyes welling up. “He was the
ultimate human being. He was compassionate. Man, he loved life and loved
everybody… You didn’t have to surf to know that Jay was special. He was the
kindest man I’ve ever met.”
“He lived a pretty exciting life as a youngster, but it’s a shame he wasn’t able
to finish it off,” said Tim Jordan. “That’s why you have to live every day as if
it’s your last…”

Mark (laughs): “Gee thanks!”
Sarah: “You’re not fat!”
Mark: Why don’t you go jogging by the sea? Why does it have to be an extreme sport?”
Sarah: “Because extreme sports blow all other sports out of the water. Sometimes I even feel
closer to God after I’ve jumped off a plane. I know I’m risking my life, but it’s a calculated risk,
not just craziness, as some people think.”
Mark: “Well, you wouldn’t catch me falling off a plane. Unless someone pushed me. And then
my adrenaline would turn to anger.” (laughs)
