Camping is one of those activities that tends to divide people into two distinct camps (see the pun). You either love it, the sense of getting out into nature, or you hate it for its lack of civilized facilities.

When I was younger, I fell strongly into the hate it group. As I grew older though, I found I started to quite enjoy it.

Why this change of heart?

I think probably beer can make anything seem just about pleasant.

So do you love or hate camping?

When I was a child I used to love camping and I still love it now. The things I love most are being outdoors and sleeping under the stars. I even enjoy food which has been cooked over a campfire. Next year I will go camping during the summer. If the weather is good I will go hiking in the mountains and swimming in a lake which I absolutely love too! I believe camping is the most fun thing to do in the world!

Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
