Underwater forest

Several years ago, scuba diver Chas Broughton

discovered an underwater forest of massive ancient

cypress trees. Located twenty kilometres from the

coast of Alabama, in the Gulf of Mexico, it is home for

thousands of sea animals. Chas told a local journalist

about the discovery, but they kept it secret until 2004,

when Hurricane Ivan uncovered some of the trees.

Then scientists started exploring the area.

They have suggested that the forest is more than 50,000

years old. In the past, the ocean level in the area was

125 metres lower than today, but when it rose, the water

swallowed the trees up. The forest is so unique that

conservationists are now working to make it a marine

protected area.

Last week I took part in an unusual survey. A psychologist

invited forty-four families and asked us different questions

about eating habits now and in the past. She wanted to fi nd

out why fathers give children less healthy food than mothers.

Strange, isn’t it? But it’s true in my family.

When my mum isn’t at home for dinner, Dad orders a pizza.

Mum doesn’t accept unhealthy food because she feels

responsible for what we eat. Dad cares more about my

education or hobbies.

According to the survey, in most families the situation was and

is similar. Teenagers observe their parents and learn how to

behave in the future. My parents used to observe their parents and now I am observing them.

The survey the writer took part in shows that

Dean is the only person I know that still buys CDs . Most people ---------music on computer now.
