Diving is popular all over the world. It is usually done in the ocean, but divers also explore other bodies of water, including lakes, rivers, and ponds. Snorkeling (戴呼吸管潜泳) on the surface (or just below) is a common form of diving, but many people use scuba (水肺), which stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. Scuba divers carry a tank of air that allows them to breathe while diving underwater.

Movies are the most popular form of entertainment (娱乐) for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.
