Intro
Have you ever wondered how actors jump from buildings that are on fire, or into moving cars and trucks? Most actors are replaced by a stuntman or stuntwoman.
These people may look like thrill seekers, but they actually know how to play it pretty safe. The best candidate for working in stunts is willing to push him or herself to the limits, but also understands when to stop. Not everyone is cut out for such a tough job!
Vocab
Example I don't think Gore or Bush is the better candidate. They're both idiots!
Example That horror movie really pushed me to the limits. I'll never go to sleep now!
Example I don't think I'm cut out for swimming. My bones are really heavy.
Example I'm no thrill seeker. I prefer to relax at home with my friends.
Example To play it safe when swimming in the ocean, you should always face the water so you can see anything coming towards you.

Discussion
Would you ever work as a stuntperson? What kind of person gets that kind of job? Does it sound exciting, scary, or a little of both?
