Snorkeling is swimming with a snorkel — a mask and a tube — that allows you to breath through your mouth when floating underwater near the surface of the water. Scuba diving allows you to go deep inside the water to examine the bed of the sea or lake, wearing a tight fitting diving suit, and breathing through an oxygen tank.

Comparison chart

	Scuba Diving	Snorkeling
Purposes	Recreational purposes, including cave diving, wreck diving, and ice diving. Professional purposes, including for civil engineering, underwater welding, offshore construction or for military purposes.	Recreational purposes include observing fish and algae and coral reefs especially in water bodies with minimal waves and warm waters; also interesting things to see near the water surface.
Technique	The swimmers entire body is under the water. The diver's nose and eyes are covered by a diving mask; the diver cannot breathe in through the nose, except when wearing a full face diving mask, but adapts to inhaling from a regulator's mouthpiece.	Head & nose underwater. The snorkel tube can flood underwater. The snorkeler expels water either with a sharp exhalation on return to the surface or by tilting the head back shortly before reaching surface.
Underwater duration	Can stay under water longer as one does not need to hold ones breath.	Need to hold breath to swim under the surface of the water.
Equipment	Pressurized gas tank strapped to the back of the diver, single hose, open-circuit 2-stage diving regulator with the first stage connected to the gas tank and the second to a mouthpiece, swim fins attached to feet, diving suit.	Diving mask, L or J shaped tube with a mouthpiece at the lower end and sometimes swim fins attached to feet.
About	A form of underwater diving with breathing equipment. Stands for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.	Swimming on or through a body of water with a snorkeling mask.
Training	Requires training in how to use the breathing equipment, safety procedures and troubleshooting. Although no centralized certifying or regulatory agency many dive rental and sale shops require proof of diver certification.	Requires no training. Snorkelers favor shallow reefs ranging from sea level to 3-12 feet. Deeper reefs are also good, but repeated breath holding to dive to those depths limit the number of practitioners and raises the bar on fitness and skill level.
Effect on Health	Effects of breathing compressed air such as decompression sickness, nitrogen narcosis, oxygen toxicity, refraction and underwater vision.	Greatest danger is not being spotted by jet skis & crafts, as a diver is often submerged under water with only a tube sticking out of the water. Contact with poisonous coral, dehydration and hyperventilation. Sun burn is also common with long hours.

Format of a School Magazine Article

Format of a School Magazine Article

• News about school clubs and societies, school trips both at home and abroad, exchange visits with language students, exam results and original contributions written by students of all ages.
• It is written by students for students – that is people of about the same age as you and with almost the same education, background, culture, ideas and outlook on life as you.
• It is like writing to a large number of friends all at once
• Personalise Replace ‘I’ with ‘We’
• Share any point you have common with the readers(attitude of parents,school work, friends ….
• Be interesting, remember that most of the readers are at school with you, they know the things you know- present information about a different, more interesting angle.
• School magazine articles can be divided into the following different sections:
• TITLE
• Always give the article a title and underline it Make it interesting, from the beginning show the examiner that you know exactly what you are doing. Try to think of an effective, interesting title.Choose something opposite/contrast to the article.
• An effective introduction starts with a question to involve the readers and encourages them to continue reading. Example: Are you one of the many students with exam nerves?
• Paragraphs should be nicely linked through transition words The points should be properly structured in your article like you do in essay writing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        from,HHHM

2.Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers.

 If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

 Where is the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

3.Betty Botter bought some butter.

 "But" she said "this butter's bitter.If I put it in my batter,it would make my   batter bitter."

 So,Betty Botter bought some butter that is better than her bitter butter and  put it in her bitter batter and made her bitter batter better.

4.I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish,but if your wish is what the witch  wishes,I won't wish the wish you wish to wish.

5.I thought a thought,but the thought i thought wasn't the thought I thought.

6.A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.

7.Mr. Tongue Twister tried to train his toungue to twist and turn,and twit and  twat,to learn the letter 'T'.

8.A big black bear bit a big bed bug and the big bed bug bled black blood.

9.We can't stop love when we start to love;

 So,shower your lover with all your love.

 A small favour you can do for love;

 Is to return the love of a great love.

10.If understand,say 'understand';

  If don't understand,say 'don't understand'.

  If you don't understand and you say 'understand';

  How do I understand that you understand or not;

  Understand?

Short Story : Ode to Ghosts


   You may not know this,but the life of castle ghost is very sad.He spends his days hauting cold,lonely rooms and corridors,and on birthdays and Christmas time the postman never arrives with cards and parcels for him.

   All day long the ghost floats from one room to another.He howls and clanks his chains,but most people blame the noise on the wind outside or the ancient drains.Occasionally,he might appear when everyone is sitting eating their supper in hope of snack and a chat,but everyone screams and runs away.Naturally,this doesn't make him feel any better.

   What is even worst,the poor ghost has to wander around all night while everyone else is tucked up in bed!He would really like a warm bed to sleep in - but as soon as anyone wakes up they scream and shout so loudly that the ghost feels embarrassed and slips away.

   So,the next time you see a ghost wafting along a castle corridor,don't run away in fright.Stay a while and have a little chat ,you'll find him most polite!
