If you live near the beach, you know how much fun playing near the ocean can be. The only thing more fun than playing near the ocean is playing in the ocean.
The man in this picture is surfing. In this picture, he is enjoying the most fun part, but surfing takes a lot of hard work. First, a surfer floats on the board facedown and waits for a good wave. When the surfer sees a good wave, he or she begins to paddle with his or her hands. Then, the wave catches the surfboard and pulls it and the surfer toward the shore. When this happens, the surfer must stand up. If you've never done it before, it can be very hard to balance while riding a wave!

夏威夷人是最早開始衝浪的人，至少自西元四百年就已開始。現今，衝浪在世界各地都廣受歡迎。 （翻譯：賴美君）
Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month.

But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this

When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
A: Actually, Brazilian jiu-jitsu is particularly good for small people like you. B: Really? How so?
