Bear Grylls

His name is Bear Grylls, and he was the host of Discovery Channel’s famous TV show, Man vs Wild. In the show, he was left in faraway areas in order to show survival (生存的) skills. Millions of viewers watched, breathless, as he climbed terribly dangerous mountains, performed amazing ice climbing, and ran through a forest fire.

Grylls continues to shine with both his amazing shows and charity (慈善) work. And he has set up his own company, Bear Grylls’ Survival Academy, where everyone can learn survival skills from him and his highly trained team.

Recently, Grylls founded Young Survivors – training courses for teenagers, including survival skills and adventure tasks designed to teach the basic rules of outdoor survival self-rescue. Those who complete the course are given a Young Survivors Award. Skills taught include how to build and light a fire, how to tell directions in both day and night, putting up a protection building, bad weather survival and so on. The key focus of the course is getting young survivors back in touch with nature and away from technology.

In Grylls’ own words: “The thing I love about Young Survivor Course is that it is designed to put young adults in just the kind of challenging, character-building and practical situations that help consider them as adults. So often, young adults can feel almost over-protected and are stopped from experiencing some of the best things in life – but the Young Survivor Award will challenge and empower them in an unbelievable fun environment.”

【題目】

With schools closed and restrictions(限制）on public activities, it can be a difficult time for young people, who suddenly can't spend time with their friends and family in person.

However, the situation has already led to some creative ways of using technology to keep in touch with those people, from video calls and group chats （聊天）to online games. Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real life stressful, which is why technology can be helpful.

"Keeping relationships is very important for health," says Dr Amanda Gummer, creator of Dr Gummer's Good Play Guide. She adds that this is more important the older you get. "Not maintaining these friendships can make it more difficult for you to get back into school when the time comes," she says. Chezy Kennedy, from a training program called Confident Kids, agrees. "Staying connected to those we care about is even more important now than ever before," she says. "We can suddenly feel quite lonely. "

Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group chats to keep in touch. "Video chats are a great way to keep connected with your wider friendship group," says Gummer.

Experts agree that there are plenty of ways to be creative with video chats besides talking to friends. Gummer suggests, “A virtual（虛擬的）film-and-pizza night can work well.”

Sharna Jackson, an expert on young people and technology, has lots of ideas too. She suggests taking turns to teach friends something you're really good at- such as painting and drawing, perhaps. She also thinks that online games, including Fortnite and Minecraft, can play a really good role.

"It's good to play together. It's social, there's problem-solving and turn-taking, and it helps you develop different skills," she says.
