A biologist from Rutland has become the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean.
Sarah Outen, a biologist of 24 years old, set off from the west coast of Australia in April and arrived at the island of Mauritius on Monday evening.
Wow! That’s a great example of courage, spirit of adventure and great ability to sit for a long time! I tried rowing and I can assure you it is quite hard for such a long time!
Would you dare to do something like this? What is the wildest adventure you have had?
Upon her arrival on shore crowds lined up to welcome her as a local boat guided her to the island after 124 days at sea.
Ms. Outen said it was “an astonishing experience“.
By the way who can say without looking at the dictionary what “an astonishing experience” means?
Hey!!! No cheating!!!
After arriving on Mauritius, Ms. Outen said, “It’s beautiful out there and it’s been really exciting seeing the elements in their good and bad states.”
“In the last days I’ve had whales surfing past the boat and albatrosses flying overhead.”
It sounds amazing! Are you going to use your Summer holiday to go on an adventure as well?
What would you like to try if anything was possible?
Enjoy your summer and all your adventures whatever they are!
Have fun, enjoy the sun and practice your English!

Estás muy cerca del significado de “an astonishing experience” Maria.
¿Alguién más tiene ideas de lo que significa?
Un saludo y enjoy the Summer!!
Hi!!!
Seguro que sale algún machista por allí que dirá que lo “astonishing” de la experiencia es que haya sido una mujer…
Yo de verdad creo que Ms. Outen debe ser una mujer “soprendente”….
Es decir “astonishg” = “sorprendente”?
