First, I described the picture Jeff chose.
Today's picture was a broken submarine.
I've never known that there are some mountains on the bottom of the sea
and submrines possibly hit them because the rate of mapping the bottom of the water
is about 25% of the world ocean. Further, submarine usually can not use soner
to avoid being spotted by other countries.
It's dangerous and difficult for submarines to keep traveling safely.
It was very new information!

and make them better readers."
