Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Would you like to check out the bottom of the ocean? You can in a submarine!

This vessel goes underwater and lets you see what’s under the sea. Submarines are pretty small, and some people feel too claustrophobic. But you can use the periscope to look above the water. And a seagull might use it to perch on, too.

Find out why Amanda doesn’t like submarines in this English lesson.

You can’t find a comfy couch inside a submarine.

Unfortunately, I’m not able to tell a lot about submarines since they’re meant to be for military necessities. But the main stuff is that it’s completely NOT LUXURY to stay inside because of the lack of the space and a load of different other inconveniecnces!! Not to say, underwater world is mostly quite poor except for several few places in the world like Red or Andaman Sea.


Sorry for party pooping))

Ive never seen a submarine, let alone ridden in one. There’s not any military port near where I live, so maybe I wont be able to see a submarine…


But Im not claustrophobic and I ‘d like to ride in one if possible especially yellow one.


And I’d sing like this,” We all live in a Yellow Submarine!”

Hi,


I went to a museum and there was a submarine there.  It was a cool experience to be inside, learning how it works, where the crew had to develop activities such as sleep, have meals, control the submarine.


I’m not claustrophobic, so I enjoyed it a lot and took lots of photos :D


Have a nice day

I was actually watching a documentary about an American nuclear submarine the other day on YouTube.  They said that modern submarines supply oxygen by breaking seawater into oxygen and hydrogen electronically. The particular submarine the documentary was showing had two oxygen converters installed in it and the clew named one of them Paris Hilton and the other with her twin sister’s name (I forgot the name). The sub had a workout gym and I thought that was cool. But I am sure it doesn’t have pool tables :)

As for me, I can try to give submarines a chance. Personally, I’m not a professional in this sphere, actually I have only general knowledges about underwater world. On the other hand, it would be a great opportunity for me. I would like to be inside a submarine and to feel a water around me. Frankly, I have never thought about claustrophobia, so I believe that it will be comfortably for me.

Well!! Actually i really keen on taking one navigation as an interesting adventure beneath an enormous blue ocean by riding a reliable and safe submarine. In my view point it’s similar to SKYDIVING. Generally, it would be very spellbound to me to watch a beautiful scenery treasures and enjoy of looking at a big crowd of wonderful spices of marines, sharks, whales and etc. Indeed seeking wild life mysteries is one of my favorite habits. Likewise I’m a big fan of wild life specially amphibians and reptiles. On the other hand, I know that it’s very HARD TO COME BY to me but in my opinion i’ll take it someday maybe when i need to WIND DOWN for a while at the specific beach with high facilities.
