VI. Read the text about active kinds of hobbies and answer the following questions:
1. What do you think are orienting and letterboxing sport games or hobbies?
2. Why are they popular nowadays?
3. Do you want to have similar hobbies?
Orienteering is a combination of map reading and cross-country skiing or running. Orienteers are given a map that shows where a set of "control points" are located. They try to follow the map and use a compass to plot their course. Each time they succeed in finding a control point, they stamp a card. Participants get a starting time and have a prescribed time period for locating all of the control points. Orienteering has become extremely popular.
Then there's letterboxing, a hobby that is like a combination of orienteering and treasure hunting. It began in England in 1854, when an English gentleman put his calling card (a little like today's business card) into a bottle and left it on the bank of a pond. Someone else found it and contacted him, and from this the hobby sprang up. People put a notebook and a rubber stamp in a bottle (the letterbox) and they provide special clues for finding the bottle. Participants have to follow the clues by hiking in certain sections of the countryside until they finally locate the letterbox and stamp their notebook.
