Karina Moore - teenage high diver!
Several times a week, teenager Karina Moore trains at her local pool to jump from the high-diving board into the water - in an attempt to become a national diving champion.
Karina first learned about diving during a family break in Spain, where the resort's pool had a high-diving board. Young people were diving off it, and it looked fun, but Karina didn't join in, even though she was a strong swimmer. Then after returning home, she discovered a long-distance runner she'd always admired had started diving for relaxation — so she became more interested.
Karina joined a beginners' diving class at her local pool. They had several sessions jumping onto soft materials before trying the high board. “The water looked a long way down, says Karina, "but after our training, I felt I'd handle it — without injuring myself! They'd warned me I'd land in the water fast - at around 60 kph - but I was prepared. I couldn't wait to get started - although the others weren't so keen! Anyway, I wasn't disappointed by the experience."
In Karina's area, there's now lots of interest in high diving but it is sometimes difficult for swimmers to find suitable practice facilities. Although the pools are deep enough, they're in use so often by diving clubs that other people don't get opportunities to practice. Fortunately, though, Karina's coach noticed her talent and helped her develop her techniques. After only two years, she's winning competitions in her area.
But what's it like to concentrate so much on diving? "I train 20 hours a week," says Karina, and I won't pretend it's easy - you have to enjoy it to spend so much time doing it! It's not easy for my parents either, though - they drive me to training sessions early in the morning, and that costs money. But they've had financial help from sports organizations, luckily. And my schoolwork and social life are good. I still meet my mates - and there's always the phone! The only thing I hadn't realized was that the pool water would damage my hair - I used to love my long hair, but ve had to cut it short because it looked awful! But I'll definitely keep on diving?

Digging into the past
Last year, Kate Marshall was given a very exciting opportunity - to help her father, who's a history lecturer, at a historical site! He was leading a team to dig up and explore the area.
When they arrived, though, the site wasn't quite what Kate had expected. .So the first job was to remove it all and prepare the land for digging. Says Kate, "Dad hadn't warned me I'd have to work so hard as soon as we got there!"
But when the site was completely cleared, the team found pieces of ancient pots on the ground. However, those weren't as exciting as everyone had thought. Kate's dad told them that the important pots were still under the ground. And because no-one had touched them for centuries, the team would learn far more about their history - but first, they would have to dig deeper. Says Kate, But we all knew Dad was right!"
The site was divided into small squares, with a leader for each square, who told everyone how to dig. “That wasn't as easy as it sounded, either," Kate reports. "Instead of just digging great big holes, we all had to dig really carefully and remove small amounts of soil each time. . So it made sense."
“My friends at home were really interested in what I was doing," Kate explains. "They kept texting me to ask what I'd found. . But actually, we were looking for ordinary, everyday objects that could tell us about the people who'd lived in the area centuries ago."
In the end, though, Kate wasn't disappointed by what she found. “One day, when I was digging away, I found a stone with a strange shape. . Someone had obviously made it hundreds of years ago, which meant it was really important. So Dad cleaned it up and said it would go to the nearby museum. So l was pleased that at last, I'd found something interesting!"

Many cities have parks for people to enjoy. And it's very to find wonderful sculptures in them. However, some sculptures found in Fairbanks, Alaska, aren't quite the same as in other cities. When the temperature at the end of winter, they all disappear - because they're made of ice!
Fairbanks has been the home of the World Ice Art Championships for over 20 years, and artists from many different countries come to create spectacular ice sculptures. The ice is brought from a lake near the sculpture park. It's said to be so clear that visitors can read a newspaper through it - even though the individual pieces are over one metre !
Visitors also have the to make their own ice sculptures if they wish, at special classes. There's a children's play park, too, where everything is made of ice, including sculptures of favourite animals. It's a great place to visit!

Hi Anna,
I've just been to the museum in our city. That was my first visit, believe it or ! I wanted to collect some information about our class history project. We have to hand it soon, don't we?
I went to the Ancient History section, the museum keeps all its ancient Egyptian stuff. It was really interesting! There were some amazing statues of various animals, so I drew some pictures of them and then some research about them online when I got home.
I've still got some work to do on my project, so I'll need to go back to the museum again sometime soon. ln fact, don't we go together? I don't think you've been there before, you? I'm sure you'll find something that you could use for your project.
See you soon!
Sally
