Snorkeling is the practice of swimming through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. A snorkel is a device used for breathing air from above the surface when the person's face is submerged. 




Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for a long time without struggling to breathe. 

Snorkeling is a popular activity, especially in tropical locations. People are able to observe underwater life in a natural setting. It appeals to all ages because of how easy it can be. Snorkeling requires no special training, only the very basic swimming abilities. 

When snorkeling on or near coral reefs, you must be careful to avoid contact with the delicate coral and its poisonous inhabitants.  Snorkeling is best in waters where there few waves, warm water, and something particularly interesting to see near the surface.


Questions

1. What are two pieces of equipment that a person needs to snorkel?

2. Why is snorkeling equipment important?

3. Why is snorkeling described as easy?

4. What word in the last paragraph lets us know that the sea creatures who live in the coral can be dangerous?

5. Why do you think snorkeling is best in waters where there aren't a lot of waves?

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...
