JACQUES COUSTEAU: A REMARKABLE MAN
Jacques-Yves Cousteau was an explorer, ecologist, filmmaker, inventor, and conservationist. He was a man who spent nearly his whole life underwater exploring the hidden depths of the ocean and who did more to educate the world about the mysteries of the deep sea than any other scientist before or since. He was born in June 1910 in the village of Saint-André-de-Cubzac, in southwestern France. Jacques was a sickly boy and spent much of his time in bed, reading books and dreaming about a life at sea. In 1920, Jacques’ family moved to New York, and he was encouraged to start swimming to build up his strength. It was the beginning of his fascination with water, and the more he learnt through his own experiences, the more passionate he became about “looking through nature’s keyhole.” Nevertheless, his career in underwater exploration came about by accident. After entering France’s naval academy and travelling around the world, he was involved in an almost fatal car accident that left him seriously injured with two broken arms. He began swimming in the Mediterranean Sea to strengthen his arm muscles as part of his recovery process and rediscovered his love for the ocean. Cousteau developed a pair of underwater breathing apparatus that allowed him to stay underwater for long periods. His experiments led to the development of the first Aqua-Lung, which was a huge commercial success. During World War II, he worked for the French Resistance and experimented with underwater photographic equipment. He helped get rid of German mines and was awarded the Legion D’Honneur and the Croix de Guerre medals for his bravery. In 1942, he filmed his first underwater film Sixty Feet Down. It was 18 minutes long and entered the Cannes Film Festival.

April Fools’ Day
April Fools’ Day, also known as All Fools’ Day is not a national holiday in England. The idea is to trick other people, to try to make them believe things that are not true. (1) Although most of the tricks have been used for a long time, they often succeed.
The simplest pranks usually involve children who, for example, tell each other that their shoelaces are undone. (2) Sometimes people are told that their jackets have been torn or they are sent on a false business errand. (3) They produce sensational news on television, radio, and in the press. (4) Those who continue to play jokes in the afternoon are April fools themselves.
Several theories have been put forward about how the tradition began. (5) So the origin of the “custom of making April Fools” remains uncertain and unknown.
