Background information of the story.
An introduction to the following passage.
When reading an unfamiliar word, first try to use the context of the sentence or passage to infer its meaning. Then think about what other words would make sense in the sentence. Parts of the word, such as prefixes, word roots and suffixes, can also be used to try and work out its meaning.
Learning to learn
猜测词义:一、构词法;二、定义或解释;三、上下文语境
第一段 helmet:其后的定语从句inside which my head ... 是对helmet进行解释说明,可推测helmet头盔。
第二段 reflector:根据drove away the rays of the sun及词根reflect,结合后缀-or可推测reflector反射器。
第二段 distinguished:这一段主要描述Aronnax在水下看到的太阳光线及视觉感受。通过上下文,可以提取出与distinguished相关的信息:clearly, at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards, see, in broad daylight,描绘了水下光线极好,视野广阔清晰,猜出distinguished为动词,看清楚;辨别。

I couldn't believe that I succeeded in diving and swam with the seals for 10 minutes! I never thought I could start an adventure under the sea before, till my parents took me to the Farne Islands and tried diving there.
We were offered two choices, either wreck diving — to see the wrecked ship Somali, or scenic diving — to have a good time with the grey seals. I chose the second one because it was less challenging and I love sea animals.
Diving turned out to be much less difficult than I had imagined. I just put on the instruments and followed my instructor.
Sample
I was a bit scared but my instructor told me to take it easy. At first, I could only see nothing, but when my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I could see deep blue waves moving up and down, and small fishes swimming. Soon we reached the spot, and I could breathe normally.
It was such a wonderful world. Before realizing it, I had been in the seaweed forest surrounded by the young seals. They were eager to get close to me and dance around me. I reached out my hand to touch one of them. All of a sudden, something big appeared on my right. I turned around and almost got astonished.
Sample
It was a huge male seal. I was so scared fearing it would attack me. But it just touched me lightly with its body, as if it wanted to hug me. I put my hands on its back, trying to feel its smooth skin. The world here was so quiet that it felt that time had stopped.
Finally, my instructor gestured for me to go up. When I reached the surface, I had to readjust to the sunlight. What had happened just now was like a dream.
Sample
