    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

Moreover, I think it is difficult because I am not familiar with skating because this is the first time I would like to try it on the beach. It is better to take a trainer with me and however, it is very difficult to try it for the first time, but in the practice, I would definitely achieve the success of skating in the ocean, in the end. It is an interesting thing so that I am showing that.

I have done parasailing, paragliding, along with that I have done zipline and zorping. So it was during around when I was in my school, I had attended an adventurous camp where I performed these different activities and that has gained my interest and that camp was an incentive for me to be much more adventurous and since then I have been trying out different adventure activities.

    I would like to do a water sport in future is rafting, because rafting is like when the water fall, flow from the river, at that time we have to sit in a tube and one instructor will be there and almost I think 6 to 7 people sit together in the rafting and we have to go on the flow of the water, so it's like rafting and I would like to do in Rishikesh. I have heard that in Rishikesh it is difficult because over there the water flow level is very high, so it might be dangerous for you, but I want to try it and I have never experienced that and one more thing is rafting is like a group of people, so we would enjoy and rafting is also like, in India many many other places are there where rafting is held, but the most popular thing is in Rishikesh and another I know that in Manali also there is some water sports activity, over there rafting is available and another and if we talk about abroad then there are so many places where rafting is there.
