Questions:

1. What is most of the world’s surface?

2. What did Jacques Cousteau invent?

-> water

-> deep-sea diving vessel

Read• Most of the world’s surface is water. We may know the land

very well, but we know very little about the oceans.

• Until recently, man could not stay underwater for long. A pearl diver, for example, couldn’t stay underwater for longer than two minutes. But now, with special breathing equipment, a diver can stay underwater for long time. After the invention of this equipment, man could swim freely underwater and scuba-diving became a popular sport.

• A Frenchman, Jacques Cousteau (1910- 1997), invented a deep- sea diving vessel in the early 1940s. In the vessel, he could explore the oceans of the world and study underwater life.

• Now, we can explore the oceans, using special TV cameras as well. We can learn more about the undersea world thanks to this invention
