SPORTS If you're a good swimmer and already quite fit, why not try paddleboarding? It's like a combination of surfing and rowing. Paddleboarders lie or kneel on a board and use their arms to move over the water or they stand up and use a paddle. You will have to rent or buy a board. However, for an underwater challenge, try scuba diving. There are courses for all levels, including 10 beginners. Instructors with years of experience can teach you, so you'll be in safe hands. Lessons are available all year at local swimming pools. The bad news? Lessons are expensive and you have to pay extra to hire the equipment. If you want to try something different, Judo could be the right sport for you if you like having clear goals. It uses coloured belts to show the level people are at. When students get their first belt, it shows them that they can succeed and gives them confidence. Lessons are 20 usually inexpensive and take place in a gym or 'dojo' with a qualified instructor. What advantage do colored belts provide to students in Judo?

They represent the student's proficiency level.

They show the level of a student's confidence

They determine the type of equipment needed.

THE CANTERVILLE GHOST About ten minutes later, the bell rang for dinner, and, as Virginia did not come down, Mr. Otis sent up one of the servants. After a little time, he returned and said that he could not find Miss Virginia anywhere. So, the whole family started looking for her. The hours passed, but they could find no trace of Virginia. So, after dinner, Mr. Otis ordered them all to bed, saying that nothing more could be done that night, and that he would contact Scotland Yard in the morning. Just when everybody was about to leave the dining-room, the clock struck midnight, and when the last stroke sounded, a secret door opened in the wall and in that door stood Virginia with a little box in her hand. Everybody ran up to her. Good heavens! Child, where have you been?’’ said Mr. Otis, rather angrily, as he thought she had been playing a trick on them. ‘‘Papa’’, said Virginia quietly, ‘‘I have been with the ghost. He is dead, and you must come and see him. He had been very nasty, but he was really sorry for all that he had done, and he gave me this box of beautiful jewels before he died.’’ Then she led the others down a narrow secret corridor to a little low room. There the family found the skeleton of Sir Simon, who had been starved to death by his wife's brothers. Virginia knelt down beside the skeleton, and, folding her little hands together, began to pray silently. Meanwhile, one of the twins was looking out of the window in the little room and suddenly said, ‘‘Look! The old almond-tree has blossoms.’’ ‘‘Then God has forgiven him,’’ said Virginia and stood up. What was Virginia doing when the clock struck midnight?

she was with the ghost in a hidden place in the wall

he was playing a trick on the family

they were searching for a secret door in the dining room

she was looking out of the window at the almond tree
