سطح اول - آیلتس 5-4 (A2 - B1)
A Russian man wants a new sport to try. He wants to make a new way to do snowboarding. He tries to do it with vehicles. The vehicles cannot go where he wants to go.
He realises that horses can go in more places. He tries snowboarding with horses. He invents horse-boarding. This is when people tie themselves to horses. Then the horses drag them through the snow.
The horse-boarders do not want to make money from this sport yet. For now, they are just horsing about!

A Russian man wanted a new sport to try, as he was looking for new and exciting ways to get a thrill.

Then he tried the same idea with horses and pioneered horse-boarding. People tie themselves to horses that then drag them through the snow.
The horse-boarders do not plan to make money off of their invention yet. For now, it is just horsing about!

سطح سوم - آیلتس 7+ ( C1 - C2)
Russian thrill-seekers found a way to pass time with the extreme weather: horse-boarding. These adventurers tether themselves to horses which drag them through the snow.
The man who pioneered the sport said that he was looking for new and exciting ways to get a thrill. He tried to get the same effect with a car, a motorcycle and a snowmobile, but these vehicles could not get into the areas that he wanted to go.
The man said that the mountains or slopes cannot get bigger, but the pulling force can. A Russian horse rider was willing to lend her stallion named Vulcan to the cause.
The horse-boarders do not plan to commercialize their innovation yet, so for now, it is horsing about!
