Where is Jordan Romero?

[andy55]

Do you know where is Jordan Romero?
To this day I did not knew about Jordan Romero.

Well but now in our exercise we should prepare a summary about his life.


The story is about Jordan Romero, a 13-years boy who wants to be the youngest human who climbs up the highest mountain of the world, the Mount Everest.
And he is certainly not the typical well known boy in his age.
Together with his father, Paul Romero and his colleagues, they reached the base camp on Saturday.
But the all-important question is: Does a boy in his age the physical and emotional maturity to tackle such a task?
Team Jordan, from Big Bear, California, had climbed five of the Seven Summits. Jordan wrote in an e-mail massage concerning to his goal: Since I was a little boy I have already dreamed about standing on the roof of the world.
They youngest person who stood on summit of the Mount Everest was Johnny Collinson, a 17-years-old boy.

Jordon who hoped to reach the top of the mountain on Friday was stopped.
He had to wait because high winds fears his plans thwarted.

Another person, called Erik Weihenmayer , was the first blind man who reached the roof of the world.

He thinks nothing about the attempt of the boy.

Scientists and climbing colleagues worry about the effects on children.

And Dr. Mikhail Kazachkov, a specialist on the area of pediatric pulmonolgy meant in regarding to the dangers: “We just no what to expect”

Michael J. Bradley who wrote the book " When Things Get Crazy With your Teen meant in his dossier that children in his age have not the ability to decide about their life.
He described Jordan as an unfinished Ferrari, fully furnished with real power but without brakes.

Mrs. Lundgren a closer friend and mature mountaineer said that Jordan is ready to climb up the mountain.
He has very good abilities as strongness, smartness and calmness and a great team surround him.

In the age of 11 Jordan climbed the world’s coldest mountain, named Alaska’s Denail.
He is convinced that he knows about the consequences but a great team will support him.

Paul Romero, the father of Jordan, meant questioned to risks, that his son visited all seven continents, experienced cultures languages, politics, food and people.

Other boys in my age would actually sitting in the classroom, but I am here at base camp.

The story is about Jordan Romero, a 13-years-old boy who wants to be the youngest human being who climbs up the highest mountain of the world, the Mount Everest.
And he is certainly not the typical well known boy in his age. (Diesen Satz verstehe ich inhaltlich nicht ganz)
Together with his father, Paul Romero and his colleagues, he reached the base camp on Saturday.
But the all-important question is: Does a boy at his age have the physical and emotional maturity to tackle such a task?
Team Jordan from Big Bear, California has already climbed five of the Seven Summits. Jordan wrote in an e-mail message concerning to his goal: Since I was a little boy I have already dreamed about standing on the roof of the world. (Ist das ein Zitat, dann in " ".)
They youngest person who stood on the summit of the Mount Everest was Johnny Collinson, a 17-years-old boy.

Jordan who hoped to reach the top of the mountain on Friday but was stopped. (Nicht zu viele Relativsätze, sie sind nicht immer nötig und stören etwas den Lesefluss, ja?!)
He had to wait because high winds were expected and thus his plans thwarted.

Another person, called Erik Weihenmayer, was the first blind man who reached the roof of the world.

He disapproves of the boy's attempt.

Scientists and climbing colleagues worry about the effects of a strain like this on children.

And Dr. Mikhail Kazachkov, a specialist in the area of pediatric pulmonolgy, observed in regarding to the dangers: “We just don't know what to expect.” (Natürlich kenne ich das Zitat nicht, aber so, wie es dort stand, fehlte etwas.)

Michael J. Bradley, author of the book "When Things Get Crazy With your Teen", stated in his dossier that children at Jordan's age don't have the ability to decide about their lives.
He described Jordan as an unfinished Ferrari, fully furnished with real power but without brakes.

Mrs. Lundgren, a closer friend and mature mountaineer, said that Jordan is ready to climb up the mountain.
He has very good abilities such as strength, smartness and calmness and a great team surrounds him.

At the age of 11 Jordan climbed the world’s coldest mountain, Alaska’s Denali.
He is convinced that he knows about the consequences but a great team will support him.

When asked about possible risks to his son, Jordan's father declared, his son had visited all seven continents and experienced cultures, languages, politics, food and people.

Other boys at my age would actually be sitting in the classroom, but I am here at base camp. (Wenn es ein Zitat ist, dann in " ".)

Gut gemacht! Aber die Welt ist verrückt, oder?

Thanks for your praise.

To your question concerning the following sentence:

"And he is certainly not the typical well known boy in his age".

The author wrote in his story, I quote the original wording:

"For many 13-year-old-boys, the journey from childhood to manhood begins with their first job, shaving feathery whiskers or discovering girls.
"But for Jordon Romero, it is unfolding in an attempt to become the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Thanks for your praise. My pleasure!

In answer to your question concerning the following sentence:

"And he is certainly not the typical well known boy in his age".

The author wrote in his story, I quote the original wording:

"For many 13-year-old-boys, the journey from childhood to manhood begins with their first job, shaving feathery whiskers or discovering girls.
"But for Jordon Romero, it is unfolding in an attempt to become the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Ah, I see! I think I was confused by "well known boy". Your sentence would be:

"Und er ist sicher nicht der typische berühmte Junge seines Alters."

Just leave these words out or you could say:
"And he most certainly is not the typical thirteen-year-old."

Now we are on a common wavelength

I hope this sentence makes sense.

Frage:
And Dr. thwarted - ist das wirklich ein Name?

pediatric pulmonology (oder?)

Schönen Tag - und Duckduck: Die Korrektur gefällt mir! Ich habe sie auch gemacht und so konnte ich sie vergleichen und etwas dazulernen.

You'd probably say something like:

"Now we're talking the same language." or "Now we're on the same page."

Frage:
And Dr. thwarted - ist das wirklich ein Name?
Das wäre zumindest ein sehr seltsamer Name, aber ich finde ihn irgendwie im Text gar nicht... Wo isser denn?

pediatric pulmonology (oder?)
Da hast Du natürlich völlig Recht! Dankeschön!

Schönen Tag - und Duckduck: Die Korrektur gefällt mir! Ich habe sie auch gemacht und so konnte ich sie vergleichen und etwas dazulernen.

Part two concerns the following question.

My teacher wrote: Do you think a thirteen-year-old has the physical and emotional maturity to take on a extreme altitude endeavour like this? In general, do you think there should be an age limit for extreme sports? Write an essay (300 words).

Today during I write this essay Paul Romero has become the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

The previous record was held by a Nepalese boy of 16.

But back to the question.

Jordan is certainly not a single case.

An Australian girl, her name is Jessica Watsan has completed her world circumnavigation amidst cheering the audience.

And in my view there are many Paul Romero´s or Jessica Watsan´s in the world.

Boys and girl who practise sport on a extreme manner.

But they are not always the children herself who wants to be a famous person.
Certainly the parents of these children have their own interest.

In my view the adults are responsible for her offspring.
They must ensure that here children get a life in a good health.

I see a grave danger in ambition of each parent.

A child’s body has certainly not finished the physical maturity.

What about the delayed effects?

In five or ten years nobody will speak about the Romero´s or Watsan´s in the world.
But maybe they must live with their delayed effects.

I think in the most cases young people can not decide this question: “What is good or bad for my body”.

And there was a good example in this article. The author describes Paul Romero as an unfinished Ferrari without brakes.

Body and spirit must fit together and I am not sure if a boy or a girl in the age of 12 and 17 can combine these two characteristics together.

In regard to the question if there should be an age limit for extreme sports.
I think there are some other issues which are needful to clarify.

First of all: What is an extreme sport and who decides this? Who enforced such corresponding laws?

In my view it makes sense when the governments work together, whether it relates to EU or USA.

To my mind an infant should be an infant because they will be early enough an adult.

My teacher wrote: Do you think a thirteen-year-old has the physical and emotional maturity to take on an extreme altitude endeavour like this? In general, do you think there should be an age limit for extreme sports? Write an essay (300 words).

Today while I’m writing this essay Paul Romero has become the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

The previous record was held by a Nepalese boy at the age of 16.

But back to the question. (Nach unten verschoben)

Jordan is certainly not a single case. (nach unten verschoben)

An Australian girl, her name is Jessica Watsan, has completed her world circumnavigation amidst cheering the audience.

So, Jordan is certainly not a single case.

And in my opinion there are many Paul Romero´s or Jessica Watsan´s in the world with boys and girls who practise sport in an extreme manner.

But not always the children themselves want to become famous.

I am certainly that those children should realize their parents’ own dreams.

But the adults are responsible for their offspring.
They must ensure that their children lead a healthy life.

I see a grave danger in their parents’ ambitions as they are often not in favour of their children.

They don’t consider that a child’s body has not yet fully grown.

Nevertheless, they often have the physical maturity to do extreme sport.

But what about the long-term consequences?

In five or ten years nobody will speak about the Romero´s or Watsan´s in the world.
But maybe they must live with their delayed effects.

I think in the most cases young people cannot decide this question: “What is good or bad for my body?”.

And there was a good example in this article. The author describes Paul Romero as an unfinished Ferrari without brakes.

Body and mind must fit together and I am not sure if a boy or a girl at the age between 12 and 17 can combine these two characteristics together.

But let’s go back to the question.

As regards the question if there should be an age limit for extreme sports, I think there are some other issues which need to be clarified.

For example: What is an extreme sport and who decides this? Who enforced such corresponding laws?

My view is that it makes sense when the governments should work together with the EU or USA to discuss the mentioned questions and make a uniform decision on whether to set an age limit for extreme sports or not.

To my mind an infant should be an infant because they will be early enough an adult.
