Did you know?

Hi Everyone,

Well, as I am sure you are all aware, the word "dive" is often used in swimming. For instance, "The girl will dive into the water." Ok, that is easy enough. However, did you also know that dive has other meanings as well? No? Well, let me give you some other ways to use "dive."

You can use "dive" to describe a place which is run-down or not very nice. Example: "Bill and Mary thought that their hotel was going to be nice but it turned out to be a dive." Do you understand? I hope so.

Also, dive can be used to explain the actions of a boxer who intentionally loses a fight, perhaps so that gamblers can win a lot of money by knowing in advanced who will win the fight. Example: John: "Hey, Bill, did you like the boxing match last night?"
Bill: "It was terrible! The other fighter didn't even try to fight. He just stood
there getting hit and then he fell down. I honestly think he took a
dive." Is it clear? I hope so.

Bye,bye. Mark
